Sleep. I really need more than 5 hours in a night sometime soon. I survive though and I seem to get more done so I guess that's why I keep letting this bad habit reign.
With the above in mind I'm getting straight to the point. A piece of creativity from today.
Crossroads of 3rd and Wilshire
At the crossroads of 3rd and Wilshire
Stood a little blonde boy with a familiar voice
He asked me what I was doing here
I said I'd come to make a choice
To take this moment by the hand
Or do what others think is right
To be true to what I know I am
Or face this choice another night
I'm gonna do what I want to do
Even if this jaded world don't want me to
I'm gonna do what I know feels good
Even if this jaded world don't think I should
At the crossroads of 3rd and Wilshire
I looked that blonde boy in the eye
I told him the path you choose starts here
He grabbed my hand without reply
And together we crossed to the other side
Not alone and ready to be true to what we know
Is what we're meant to do, and never hide
But walk, heads up - this is the way to go
I've been on 3rd and Wilshire and ran into the same kid. This is a beautiful poem and reflects so well what you're going through now in your nomadic lifestyle. LA grabs some people and keeps them here. That old song is true, "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave." If you're meant to be here, forces beyond yourself will work to bring you or keep you here.
ReplyDeleteThanks Blog Mama,
ReplyDeleteThese "forces beyond myself" have certainly worked some very strong magic while I've been in LA. Despite having only been there for a couple of months I already tell people "I live in LA but am away for 4 weeks in the UK and 10 weeks in my hometown of Perth, to see family." Then I'm back, and ready to make the absolute most of everything LA has to offer me. It's gonna be great to be back. Really great! =D
