Canopy of Stars

23 Apr 2023 1 minute read 0 comments The Virtual Idealist

Beneath a canopy of stars, In quiet stillness, free from scars, I find a space to simply be, And let my mind and spirit free.   The night is dark, but not forlorn, For in the sky, a light is born, A million stars, each shining bright, A canvas of the...

Misty Dew

22 Apr 2023 1 minute read 0 comments The Virtual Idealist

In the early light of dawn, When misty dew adorns the lawn, And birdsong fills the morning air, I find a space beyond compare.   The world awakens with a yawn, As sleepy eyes begin to spawn, And all around, the day begins, With newness that each mome...

Sense of Calm

As I sit beneath the tree, Watching leaves dance in the breeze, I feel a sense of peace within, And hear nature's symphonies begin.   The birds sing sweetly in the air, Their melodies beyond compare. The rustling leaves, a gentle sound, Like whispers...

Blind

Amidst the chaos of life's daily grind, We often lose ourselves, and become blind, To the beauty that surrounds us each day, And the simple pleasures that come our way.   The laughter of a child, so pure and sweet, The rustling of leaves, beneath our...

Crisp Evening

The winter evening descends like a veil, As the sun sets in its final travail, The world around us, cloaked in blue, A quiet hush, that's felt anew.   The air is crisp, with a bitter bite, As the stars twinkle, in the fading light, The world seems sm...

Power, Self-Development, and the State

Floating through the void, we reach out for a hand that's not there... and if it is, we will wish we didn't reach out at all. In an anonymous interview conducted in the Spring of 1980, Michel Foucault claimed Philosophy wasn’t so much the study of wh...

Tooth Aches

21 Apr 2023 1 minute read 0 comments The Virtual Idealist

Oh, the toothache, a pain so grand, It's like a tiny drill, in our mouth it lands, A throbbing ache, that just won't quit, A funny feeling, that makes us writhe and flit.   It starts so small, a little twinge, And then it grows, a full-on cringe, We...

In the Midst

In the midst of raging storms, When winds howl and thunder roars, I find a sense of peace, it forms, As raindrops beat upon my doors.   The world outside may rage and toss, As lightning strikes and winds do cross, But here inside, I feel a calm, A se...

Frost Storms in Spring
