Interpretation

One of the coolest things about Classical Movies is that all ages could watch them and interpret them accordingly. I found that throughout my own life that I was able to see an experience and interpret it depending on my own place in time, age etc. I questioned what changes that allows us to understand or to appreciate the trials of triumph on this long drawn out journey. Does our perception of a moment in time change? I don't believe our ability to understand , hear or view is altered with time but as we grow, educate and in some ways develop a stronger sense of empathy we are able to see an experience from different perspectives. Sometimes it feels like  " mellowing with age" gives us greater appreciation and of course the knowledge to grasp without our own preset limitations. 

Looking at the world in times of peace and again at times of war, we find our own beliefs and yes judgment come into play. But I have also noticed that I've begun more to look at life not just from where I stand but from where someone else stands. It is like having an appreciation for a chapter that somehow leaves itself engrained in our character. 

Strength and weakness

we all have a few 

for I remember yesterday

when I knew not what to do.

Trusted in the darkness

 was begging for the sun, 

forgot about the laughter 

misinterpreted love.

I came to the realization 

that everything must be

that is how we grow 

and form our own belief.

It wasn't what about the chosen

but I found it was meant to be,

the crossing of two souls 

and the forming of dreams.

I couldn't explain it but 

I know what I feel ,

the magic of love 

for a moment made 

my heart stand still.

Tears

Interpret a tear drop 

and what it means, 

sometimes of laughter

and a eternal scream. 

Emotional heartache, 

sadness and dispear

and occasional sorrow

tof the time we haven't 

shared.

Stories unwritten 

and from yesterday a few, 

each tear drop has both 

gray skies and blue.
