The sway of the trees
Outside today there was a sway The ocean air blew through the trees The trees leaned into it They did not fight it They went with the flow of the earth The flow of the wind The sway of the heart There are many things to capture The heart and the attention But what is really important? Does it always need to be a fight? Can it just be a sit and ride it out? What will the choice be today? I choose to go with the sway The flow can catch me up Just like the waves of the…

Night of tears
Yesterday was a sad day The night came quickly I could not feel numb Not enough to anyone The thought kept pouring in The repeat button engaged The tears flowed No one is coming No one needs to Alone you stand Alone again The time just keeps going on What will you do with it? Will you cry and grieve? Will you feel guilt and shame again? Walk away from it all Find a new way to go You have done it before You will do it again Wipe away the notion that crying is weak It is cleansing and…

Live
A wind blows today The grayness of the sky prevails It shifts and forms what needs to go I sit in my place and feel it The shift, the change The clouds will take it away The butterfly comes gently It’s shadow casts over me Reminding me of what I am Reminding me of what will be Peace and joy and hope They all float through The hummingbird also has a presence It floats around me Watching and reminding me I am not who I was I will never be her again The window is shut on my life I…

This day
This day marks the end The end of what was The end of what will be I step forward into this day I step forward with eyes forward I step forward with my eyes looking up Today will be a new day A new life A new way for me Behind is what was Not to be forgotten Just not to be lived in anymore It made me who I am today But it will not serve me in who I will be tomorrow Inside of today lies hope A new future A new life I know what direction it…

Matters
It all doesnt matter It matters to no one All the effort is gone Never to be returned to its owner She lies waiting Waiting for someone, anyone But they won’t come She knows this in her soul It is just her now She is all that matters Love her, lean in to her She is all that matters now Leave it all behind.

Some times
Today I feel it I feel it deep within my soul The change is coming It has been a long road There has been much unearthed The ways that are coming are new They are not expected but They are welcome A new path A new way A new start What will it show? What will it bring? Only the change knows But I am not afraid anymore I stand and just watch The new is coming It is uncomfortable but safe I look forward to seeing all that it unfolds I will be ready I will stand strong I…

The wind blew today
The wind blew today I heard it whisper behind me I turned to see what way it was going The wind blew today It went where it pleased It was all around The wind blew today It went right through I felt its presence The wind blew today It danced on its next adventure It touched the trees The wind blew today It encircled what needed To be moved The wind blew today It was quiet But full of purpose The wind blew today Its freedom dance was evident It circled all around. 3-9-25

Waves
The waves of my life crash They crash like the waves of the ocean Breaking down, building back The water cleansing The water breaking The water regaining its strength The waves will never be the same They have purpose and meaning They have intent and intention The waves crash over They come with such power and strength Mighty of the ocean behind it The waves crash and make new All the sand that is beneath They have their fluid mark Over me, they crash Over me, they wash They flow and cleanse The ocean is strong, and mighty Filled with…

Sadness
Sadness is what I feel I long for a day That my head does not hurt I thought it was better But then it wasn’t Why won’t anyone believe me? What happened to her? The hurt has taken her Much less to fight the battle with Today I try and then tray again Seems like a long time The peace is there somewhere Will this pain ever end? Every night, I go to bed hopeful The list of things to do the next day Then it hits me I wake up and the pain remains There needs to be a…

One day
One day my love will come I will be wrapped up in their embrace I will feel like nothing will hurt me One day my love will come They will think of me first I will be on their mind always One day my love will come But it will be different that I thought My love will come for me My love will be from me Embracing all that I am My love can only come from within No other person can fill that As much as I hope someone will I have to realize it is me I…
