Evening Poems: Twenty-Something

~ Brooke F. ~ 3 Comments

People rarely say what they are feeling. We mask our hearts in a cloak of quiet.
Why do we stay silent?
But what do I know?
I’m only twenty-something.

We travel around the sun on this floating rock and yet we do not believe in miracles.
When did we let cynicism poison us?
But what do I know?
I’m only twenty-something.

We have forgotten what it means to have faith in something because in the end it all disappoints.
But isn’t that the point of faith?
But what do I know?
I’m only twenty-something.

Rain actually feels quite nice and yet we complain and pull out our coats in annoyance.
Have you forgotten what it feels like?
But what do I know?
I’m only twenty-something.

But someday we will age. And we will regret not allowing our breath to be taken away or not pausing in the downpour or holding our tongues.
Because as we all know,
You will not always be twenty-something.

Night Time Adventures to be had

~ Brooke F. ~ Leave a comment

Nighttime adventures to be had:

Stargazing (duh)

An all-nighter spent out on the town and then find a place for breakfast in the morning. 

A sleepover that takes place on the trampoline

Camp out complete with a campfire and ghost stories. 

Go kayaking at midnight. The water is so peaceful and in clear nights you can see the sky reflected in the water. 

Have a night reading session with friends. 

Pull an all-nighter writer if you and your friends write. 

Midnight picnic

Sparklers. 

Take a bluetooth speaker with you out at night and have a dance off with your friends. 

Make up stories and tell them to each other because original fairytales are pretty awesome. 

Geocaching but at night. 

Wake up before the sunrises and fix yourself some tea. Then wrap yourself up in a blanket and watch the sun rise. 

You know what? Just host a midnight tea party.
