Time Turns Elastic
My own path…

I’d rather be a leaf in the wind,

then stuck to a secure, rigid tree.

I’d rather experience the world through storms,

then live life safe yet not free.

I’d rather the rain shove me in the mud,

then to look upon the earth from one point of view.

I’d rather dance in the whoosh of the breeze,

then to live life longing for something new.

I’d rather be blown in the gutter

like pieces of decaying debris,

then live life sheltered.

Unable to create my own destiny.

I’d rather take risk and fail,

then miss out on all the beauty there is to see.

I’d rather be a leaf in the wind,

then stuck to a secure, rigid tree.

~Autumn McLaughlin

I love this musical. Les Miserables!

‘Own my Own.’

Hey, I’m reading this right now for English class.

There’s beauty in bliss

There’s beauty in pain

There’s beauty within that first kiss.

There’s beauty when we dance in the rain.

There’s beauty in sorrow.

There’s beauty in the sun that lights up the sky.

There’s beauty that lye’s in tomorrow.

There’s beauty inside the girl who is quiet and shy.

There’s beauty in the stars that shine bright with fire.

There’s beauty within that girl who doesn’t believe she belongs.

There’s beauty in love which burns with desire.

There’s beauty within the most somber songs.

There’s beauty in hope who’s magic sturs our dreams.

There’s beauty in the thread that ties together our strings.

There’s beauty within the smile whoms happiness beams.

There’s beauty in the dove that beats heavens wings.
