To Speak Of The Wind

A poem inspired by the exploration of deep and uncertain things.

1594
To Speak Of The Wind
Self

I am the wind,

Carrying, Carrying,

Carrying.


The copper sea floods me from ear to ear,

Resilient in the space between the eye and the brow,

The constitute parts of the flowing narrative

Resting in the anxious knowing of how.


Wake in your grass, leaves on your mouth

Drifting off in the nautilus south,

Dreaming inside the ghostly sheath,

Shadowed by the sweet Zagreus wreath.


Thumping, the wine draws through,

Round and round, thumping through,

Channeling the chalice of the crystal steer,

From in, the bloody blue,

From in, the timely true.


Fearless and framed, the lonely post is named,

Future and fame, the wooded plot is found,

Standing strong, a summer moon,

Falling over, the drapery rune,

Deeply, we hide beneath,

Lemmings dotting the winter spoons.


Onto grey, our image projects,

For it is the neutral stone you most reject.

Balance the jester, the sexual hues,

Knitting the father of the spools,

Loving the mother of the fools.


Heartful homes, we regress, true,

Paining presence, we repress, sooth

Mantled shadow over the fireplace blue:

Blackberries read in ignorant dues.

Lovely tears, yet fearless true:

I most admire you.

Resilient waves, thundering caves,

I speak of you too,

For it is through the wind, wrapping round and round,

Round and through:

That I,

That I most carry you.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
