Her
She made her presence known yesterday She came in like wildfire She was unexpected I like her She says what she thinks She takes back her power Her strength lies in her truth Her truth came flowing out She rose into who she is The confident one The resiliant one The one who never gave up The one who took care The one who sacrificed Many were touched Most will not know her role Her prayers, her stand She stood for them Now she stands for her She stands firm on the pillars She sees the change and embraces A…

Deserve
I lie here awake It is getting late I should be asleep But my mind creeps on My mind circles around the last few days To be compared to a whirlwind Would be fair The ups and downs of this life Sometimes they flood in like a wave Other times I can barely see the next step My mind wanders to what was What could have been Still here I sit In my bed with the covers drawn I have created my own space My own place of home Does anyone see me? Have I gone unnoticed? Today I would…

Certainty
There is no urgency anymore One can not take the steps and be complete There is an ongoing process to it all THere is no final destination The road to healing is challenging It brings forth an uneasy way A way that is not defined or surrounded by barriers There is no set path As there is no set destination The heart of the traveler Knows the way. The heart must be followed on the individual journey of life The path varies for all that travel The path can lead to many places My place and my destination is different…

Mother

Art is my therapy

Art comes in many different forms It comes in the wind It comes through the pen It comes through natural dance The movement of art is free Free to those that want it The flow of art frees the soul It frees the mind of worry The freedom art can bring is boundless It can flow slowly or strong My art is dance My art is drawing My art is healing It brings me back to the days of youth The days of being free to be just me The art and creativity lay dormant The world and pressures press…

The Silence, the blank canvas
In the silence there is much to see There is much to explore and expand In the silence the heart can slow The mind, can follow and slow as well. In the silence a new creature emerges Like a butterfly coming out of a cacoon The silence of the wet wings flap. The potential lies in those wings The blank canvas of its own life The blank canvas of my life In the silence I discover In the silence, my heart calms. In the silence, the colors of the canvas are chosen. What will it be? What colors will come…

Just thinking…

Something big is coming, and maybe it is not big. Maybe it is just something small and peaceful. I would be totally okay with that. I do not need to save the world. I just need to exist and occasionally do things that bring me joy and growth. I want to be important, I want to feel important. And I will. I will be searching for my new place. My new place to be who I am meant to be. To be silly and laugh and smile. Life is very interesting. To say that the last few years have been…
