as an action it’s passive
as communication it’s steady
as a meditative state it’s relaxing
seemingly impenetrable
its abilities are strong
as an emotion it’s stable
as a thought it’s everything
as a skill it’s necessary
seemingly the way to live
it’s zen
nothing like it
can’t compare
it is not mystical
either conjured in a dream
missing all aspects
where fairy tales are made
it is a wonder
how it came to be
for statistically
it wasn’t even an option
its rarity unbounded
across the air
creating something
fulfilling simple needs
-Jennie Nawrocki
the rolling feet
begins with a heel
barely making contact
with the surface underneath
angled in position
lowering the bridge of stability
producing maximum support
broad in surface area
balancing the body
as the other
peels away to the toe
soon to be lifted
across the stable leg
a bodies width further
touching heal first
upon the ground
for the rolling feet
in succession
evolve into steps
progressing movement
through time and distance
leaving behind
the legacy of this walk
-Jennie Nawrocki
She sat still in the evening
guarded and vulnerable
gazing at the thoughts
swirling in her mind
the eyes deceiving the actual
physical objects within her view
there she is undecided
what to do, where to go
how she came here
sitting still in the evening
lives lived, travels made
seamlessly give no direction
career transitions
relationship roulette
garners her thoughts
sitting still in the evening
as to how to proceed
nothing is simple
anything ahead
lay unmapped, unguided
sitting still in the evening
motions frozen
for moving forward
questions personal strength
sitting still in the evening
working through fears
extinguishing bad habits
sitting still in the evening
she no longer is
sitting still in the evening
-Jennie Nawrocki
invisible are time’s walls
for they do not contain
people’s emotions held
where is the past?
roaming with hindsight
formulating tomorrows
or simply a history of memories
invisible are time’s walls
for they do not contain
people’s emotions held
if this is the present?
reflections lead actions
creating plans, making decisions
or simply enjoying living
invisible are time’s walls
for they do not contain
people’s emotions held
the future foretells?
experiences resulting from the past
unknown outcomes
or simply solace of appreciation
invisible are time’s walls
for they do not contain
people’s emotions held
-Jennie Nawrocki
out of nowhere
is when it strikes
unexpected in its delivery
doesn’t matter
no fore warnings
hidden with efficiency
planned thoroughly
people coordinate
actions performed
show all the tales
dreamed from the start
of a made up world
fictitious in every way
-Jennie Nawrocki
it ain’t real
until it occurs
sights beheld
tricks the eye
words told
actions in person
determine everything
knowing what to do
unconscious or conscious
makes a movement
remembered by those
present participants
can change that action
enhancing the good
with every movement
forget not why
we continue through
connecting sequences
while deleting the bad
it’s the way to go
living enhancing
each others emotional
internal relaxation
-Jennie Nawrocki
a face, a smile
a thought, a giggle
a gentle nature
good friends
a remembrance, a reenactment
a gesture, a kindness
a sense of comfort
good friends
a support, a saying
an honesty, a boldness
an empathic soul
good friends
a tiff, a spat
a fight, a forgiveness
an impossible thought, no
we are good friends
-Jennie Nawrocki
a few minutes
a couple of hours
some days
over the weekend
an old fashion furlough
time passes by
a hesitation
take ten
a siesta
a day off
a calendar month
time passes by
just a second
pause for a meal
sleep on it
within the week
over a season
time passes by
blind interactions
missed opportunities
when it is right
this is your chance
perfect timing
don’t let time pass you by
-Jennie Nawrocki
rolling notes
melodic melodies
bellowing sounds
through vibrations
amongst instruments
revealing emotions
alongside lyrics
sung in rhythms
filling the senses
enlivening nerves
responding simultaneously
body movements
catching the beat
reverberating out of speakers
souls rejoice
when music plays
-Jennie Nawrocki
