Be Still

When chaos reigns, there is misguided freewill.
Separate yourself from the crowd, learn to be still.

Be willing to take the lead, but be able to follow too.
Make an informed decision, and see it through.

Be unbreakable but know how to bend.
Be able to start, but be able to end.

There is a way to be strong, at the same time soft.
Find a way to turn it on, but don't forget to turn it off.

Give whenever and whatever you can give,
make it part of you and the way you live.

Seek answers for what you want to know.
Throughout your life, continue to grow.

Find your place in the world, wherever it may be.
Never take for granted, your right to be free.

A time may come, and you know it will.
You will be glad that you learned... to be still.

Cruel Words

Words can be cruel,
when they are fueled by hate.
They become a vicious tool.
I sadly found out too late.

I did not want to believe.
What he had established as real.
Knowing what he hoped to achieve.
Everything good, he hoped to steal.

Words can cause pain, 
Especially when attached to a lie.
The more they hurt, the more they gain.
All of this, they find a way to justify.

Telling their story for anyone to hear.
Encourages them to go on.
Blatant lies without any fear.
Vast destruction and beyond.

When everything was stripped away.
What was left  beside my good name?
But there was more that I had to pay.
In his ugly, twisted game.

Who I was, who I was thought to be.
Bears little resemblance to who I am now.
Being humiliated, I find not much left of me.
I want the truth to be known...but how?

Nothing But a Name

I once thought that my life was so good,
but I was wrong, I must have misunderstood.

It was a mirage, it was not really there.
I felt wiped clean, exposed, totally bare.

The love, that was professed to be there,
was gone, forever lost, found nowhere.

The person that I thought was my biggest fan
turned out to sadly be, not much of a man.

All of the loving names that I had come to be,
were wiped away, "a nothing" was the one left to me.

I never thought that I would or could ever see,
this man, my love", try to destroy me.

Ugly words, accusations, ridiculous lies,
I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.

I struggled, I broke down, I was crushed, by the pain.
I learned that I would never be able to trust again.

But I knew that I had to fight back someway, somehow,
I had to defend myself and I had to do it now!

I gathered every bit of strength that I had,
to try to rethink things, turn the good to bad.

So we could meet on  level ground,
fight fire with fire, I was no longer going to be pushed around.

He was a brave man when other people could see,
I saw the real man, a coward, standing in front of me.

I found more goodness,  more character deep within me,
than the self professed " heavy hitter", would ever see.

The horrible experience finally came to an end,
I had learned that my resolve must never again bend.

When the dust cleared I don't think he expected to see,
the last one standing was "a nothing", the name he had given me.

Inner Light

My soul is trapped, unable to get free.
Under the shattered pieces of my heart.
Darkness where inner light should be.
Without the light my soul will fall apart.

How am I to fill the emptiness within?
The love once there, I have had to deny.
No hope for healing to begin
Without love or light my soul will die.

Dreams of Tomorrow

Without dreams of tomorrow,
shadows descend upon the light.
There is loss, bringing sorrow.
Day becomes endless night.

Pain that dwells within the soul,
leaves life devoid of color.
In time, it takes control,
while remaining undercover.

Conflicting emotions lead,
to feelings we don't understand.
We lose sight of what we need,
thoughts, no longer ours to command.

Life's joyful moments are gone.
Sadly, destroyed by pain.
No longer the will to move on.
Leaving us with nothing to gain.

Dreams bring hope for tomorrow.
The beautiful dawn, of a new day.
To own the image, not borrow.
Never letting it slip away.

The precious gift we hold inside.
Our inner light, brightly shining.
Acts as our own spirit guide,
a pact that is forever binding.

The Beautiful Sea

I lost my heart to the ocean.
The first time we met, I knew.
I was drawn by its endless motion.
In awe of it's magnificant view.

I watched as waves rolled onto the sand.
I felt the cold sea spray on my face.
I had never been where ocean met land.
A vision that nothing could ever erase.

The waves with their rhythm of ebb and flow
What they brought in, they then carried away.
Their tales from the beginning of time we don't know.
Their underwater secrets, not ever on display.

The vastness and power of this great sea.
Rendered me speechless, and feeling small.
I could feel the spell that it cast over me.
I knew that I would always answer its call.

The ocean sings a song, for all to hear.
It's music finds that empty place inside
It's age old melody draws you near.
As the water dances along with the tide.

On this island my dream became real.
Peace and contentment have found me.
Life's many wounds will finally heal.
Forever surrounded by the beautiful sea.

Wings of An Angel

up in the clouds I saw an angel
so glorious in the blue sky
her white wings, amid the clouds
she was poised to fly high
her dress was floating
as she passed by
clouds and sky
pure grace
peace

Ocean Sunrise

Night's darkness fading away.
The dawn alive with light.
Tempting us with a beautiful day.
Sunrise, promises such delight.

The sun chose colors to paint the sky.
Gold and orange filtered through the mist.
Not a cloud was was seen passing by.
The first bit of daylight, wakes us with a kiss.

The sky, now a brighter orange and red, 
 fills the horizon with such vivid hue.
As if there was a raging fire instead,
of nature's own good morning view.

Above the sea, the sun casts a sparkling hello.
The waves dance and curl in the morning light.
Prisms of color appear pink, red, and yellow.
Sunrise upon the ocean, a magnificent sight.

The Night I Danced Upon the Sea

I had a dream that I was dancing on the waves in the ocean.
I was wearing a gilded dress from Neptune's treasure chest.
I danced, I twirled, so graceful, I was poetry in motion
I was ever so light as I barely touched down on each crest.

Whales swimming miles away, came closer to see,
what all of the hoopla and frivolity was about.
They arrived, singing their lovely song, just to accompany me.
Their song, the music, my dancing, a hit that night, no doubt.

A pod of Dolphins, swimming in their usual straight line,
Heard the music, saw the dancing, and decided to stay
For who else to be my dancing partners, they dance divine.
Amid the dancing, the dolphins and whales began to play.

As I tripped the light fantastic, I suddenly woke in mid leap.
I found myself on the floor the sheets tangled around me.
I was pondering the dream, no chance for more sleep.
I will not easily forget the night that I danced upon the sea.

Fool's Gold

I keep in mind, what I want a true friend to be.
Someone who proves they are loyal to me

To know that honesty, is part of who they are.
They will travel life's journey with you, no matter how far.

They see you, the real you, the bad and the good,
They know what you are all about, it's understood.

A heart of pure gold, is what you hope to find.
Not an imposter, or the "fool's gold" kind.
