The Rain
I hear it falling The music plays gently in the background The sounds of the waves crashing I can think of a better way to spend A day off In between the noise and chaos The sound of a car gliding through the puddles All in the neighborhood I call home It is not where I would have thought I would be But it is better than where I was Both in the mind and in the flesh The rain has a way of making one think of all the new ways to look at this life It clears and…

Turn away
·
A call came today Not expected or wanted But still it came Time to turn away Time to shut the door Delete what was Delete who was Delete that life Never to speak of again It will forever be their loss They are the losers in it all I will grieve no more The evidence shown The reality there Can not get the time back Can not change what happened But I can live this life now I can chose to spend my time now Invest in me Invest in my dog Invest in this life I have been given…

Ground within
·
The soil is ready The mixtures is just right It has been tilled for many moons The strength within it is unmarked Unknown by all except The gardener who tended it What lies within its grains? What is destined to grow? The dirt doesn’t tell a tale It shows through its growth Through its stems and through its leaves It grows up and out It grows and reaches Light and love Just like humans That is all it needs Light and love A perfect balance for any organism to thrive And it will thrive It will bloom into exactly What…

True identity
·
The weather is cool The door is open The sage has been burned My life is changing Every step I take Brings me into something new Color on my nails Color on my toes It creates this unique individualism in me Something that was not seen as favorable But the eyes of the judges Are not relevant in my life I am meant to be different I am meant to stand out I stand in my uniqueness There is no one like me I will not be compared to anyone I am the only me I rise and shine with…

Muted
·
The tables have turned The movement is done The words were said They are laid to rest Not to be heard of again The move is forward The time is now It is beyond what it should have been Let it go, leave it there They will never be able to undo How they made you feel But they are gone now Your voice matters Your life matters You are important in this world You do not need to be silent anymore You do not need to retreat Or hide when you hear them coming They are out of your…

Days
·
The day comes and the day goes what will you make of it today? I made a choice I celebrated the day I took what was frustrating And I gave it right back to the universe I reconnected to the earth It was warm and welcoming It wrapped around me like a hug Some days we just need to scale back Think about the things that bring us joy Do the things that bring us peace The day came today The news came today I gave in to it and then released it I found the good in it I…

Belong
·
I belonged there The classroom with the children I was part of it I created the energy there It allowed for me to fully love To fully live with them The doors to my own life were not opened It was not there I was not at home I was loved there I was accepted there They were accepted there as well No one understood the magnitude of it all They still do not But I understood and created what was I offered a place of refuge A place where one was not teased A place where one could just…

Heart love
·
I gave to so many So many faces of lives I was able to touch The memories flood over me today They trusted me The parents trusted me with their tiny little ones A smile and a heart on my sleeve Very aware that they will forget me Knowing over time they will forget me But choosing over and over again to love It matters, I mattered to them I was part of their precious little lives for just a short time They live in my heart always The smile when they do something that was hard Me telling them…
