I want to comfort the world

I want to comfort the world,  but the world does not accept me.  It does not want the gentle warnings of a mother,  who can then comfort you...

Tales of Appendages

Finger(s)

noun:

What I tempt fate with 

1. each of the four slender jointed parts attached to either hand (or five, if the thumb is included).

"Her multicolored fingers picked its descended writing utensil. I can imagine that felt like being picked by God to write a miracle"


Digit(s)


noun:

What I frolic through the air in a whimsical manner just to say hi, say that I see you, when I see someone who doesn't make me want to stop cold--someone who doesn't bring back bad memories--someone who doesn't make me want to run for the hills and pray a repeated prayer--someone I legit love almost as if I knew the definition of it cause if you can't love yourself how can you possibly love another.

2. a finger (including the thumb)

"I remember how I stood outside for you for what felt like an hour; sure I know I was cold--sure I knew it was cold, but I just wanted to be the first face you saw when you arrived; I wanted, craved and could taste our Hallmark moment hug; I remember that within that amount of time, I could barely feel my digits, they just like my hands had begun to go numb; I just wanted to see you... and just because I saw your face -- doesn't really mean that I ever got to see you."
