without words
sitting still
legs comfortable
arranged to support
back in posture
resting stable
as though there
were a board behind
eyes fixed on location
enabling a focused mind
diffusing extraneous
wasted thought
there is no clock ticking
only breaths
slow in pace
as the negative
dissipates methodically
experiencing freedoms
meditation brings
-Jennie Nawrocki
sitting in the boat
the waves slap the side
tilting the structure
back and forth
gently, rhythmically
it is calm, empty
of others
this spring day
with cold disappeared
leaves widen their girth
soaking in long days
though shade was needed
as air felt comfortable
barely a breeze
just the sounds
of a cricket hidden
on land on minutes away
there isn’t pondering
nor boredom of activity
for the body relaxes
in the suns warmth
-Jennie Nawrocki
built on electric words
silent interactions
tangent in thought
movements all day
passing parallels
hairline wires
a stable medium
soon to be cut
when progress made
through branching out
pulled us together
-Jennie Nawrocki
too small
enormous here
baggy there
showing too much
as opposed to
covering everything
it drapes limbs
pleats align
gathering fabric
creating allusions
as snug as it maybe
its holes are
tunnels for arms, legs
all bodies are warm
styled and ready
when it is
the right fit
-Jennie Nawrocki
the track lies still
glimmering from use
with standing all weather
they connect places
across continents
carrying various items
gifts, freight, and people
time was determined
by their passing
of locomotives
rolling their lines
guiding their way
forever remaining
even as the skies
filled with aircraft
emulating their movements
their importance
as a railroad highway
impacts our business today
and our relationships
of tomorrow
-Jennie Nawrocki
functionality, order
clean edges
smooth transitions
with distinct boundaries
stress, anxiety
are levels achieved
without proper needs
success only comes from
high-maintenance
easy-going
ruffled edges
uneven paths
nothing is for sure
mismatched objects
haphazardly together
creating messes
all calming requirements of
low-maintenance
-Jennie Nawrocki
difficult to ponder
what we gander
this world having
oddities within
normalities
for one perspective
sees culture
thriving booming
innovative
though operating
completely opposite
from another
they are interconnected
through hidden
frequencies allowing
for acceptance
of all individualities
-Jennie Nawrocki
wants, needs
seemingly selfish
though sometimes necessary
guiding ability to survive
strengthen relationships
by providing respective
standards of living
basic needs of support
even wishes sometimes
are welcomed
with the thought
nothing is taken
for granted
-Jennie Nawrocki
given only with sincerity
families live by its honor
knowing that someone
watches out for you
remains by your side
regardless of your temptation
for it is a path
never taken lightly
a support system
built on ancestral bonds
that without devotion
to each others care
by the reduction of suffering
it is crumbs of a meal
though standing by
the philosophical ethic
basic human morals
it was always understood
your endless love
-Jennie Nawrocki
something different
something new
beginnings of what
no one can tell
we don’t know
in its inception
ideas of what might
develop tomorrow
didn’t occur
even those activities
spawned thoughts
of possibilities
though those
weren’t it either
to guess as what
will take place
would be wasting time
for everything
seems different
-Jennie Nawrocki
