(and I can talk or write about this at length)
that the gentleness of our spirit
will always be…our greatest strength.

An ode to my radiant self

I radiate my inner glow—
like a well-polished precious jewel,
  pleasing to see, with graceful height.
My handsomeness: a masterpiece of art,
  driven by keenness to shed excess fat,
yet I still stand out like a star in the crowd.
My eyes radiate warmth that melts ice—
 as deep and mysterious as a star-filled sky.
My smile, a

Unintended Innuendo

“as we passed her she did wilt
which caused in us sense of guilt
since our stance perhaps did cause
to put her heart’s joy on pause

though we’re gentle, not hostile
we diminished her soul’s smile
since our aura as she viewed
scent of love did not exude”

We did not mean to bring a winter wind
into her garden, nor did we

A Warrior Dressed In Gentleness

Some things you survive without sound. No spotlight, no audience, only the quiet echo of your own breath as you carry yourself through another night. The world does not always notice that kind of strength, yet it is the most sacred kind. Survival, on its own, is a quiet kind of miracle. To still be

Premium MemberIn the gentleness of the season, hearts do not fade and do not lose their rhythm

In the gentleness of the season, hearts do not fade and do not lose their rhythm,
flowers bloom, and love finds its place, an eternal embrace for you,
for in every bud hides a love story waiting to be told,
in a world that is reborn with every smile and every ray of sunshine.
With the grace of your

Premium MemberIn the depths of silence, where the soft earth embraces the body with an ancient gentleness

In the depths of silence, where the soft earth embraces the body with an ancient gentleness,
Where the grass dances above, whispering forgotten stories in the wind,
I find a peace that settles like a veil over thoughts, like a silent caress,
A place where time melts into nothingness, like a shadow losing its shape.
There, neither yesterday nor

"Be like a flower ... gentle, quiet and humble" Quote _ Constance La France


Gentle 
Like the breath of hope
That stirs inside the heart
Who believes, beyond a doubt
That hope heals the sorrows,
Nurses the feelings, the believing
Cures and restores, rebuilds
A joy that can only bring gentleness

Quiet
Like the beauty of faith
That surrounds the soul
With an amazing grace, a

Premium MemberYou'Re An Angel

You’re like an angel, breathing hope
Across my heart, into my feelings
You’re warm and inspiring, stirring up joy
You make me feel good, even when I’m feeling lonely
You make me feel hopeful, even when I’m lost
You make me feel beautiful, even when I feel ugly

You’re like an angel, smiling on my spirit
Awakening my dreams, making me believe
Joy

Where the Heart Sleeps

Driven by the call of existence
I was urged to live my story,
I left the warmth of mother’s womb
to manifest Soul’s glory!

With courage of the bravest knight 
I pulled through walls of safety,
with hope to feel the rays of sun,
to fill with Love what’s empty!

And soothing Love entered the heart
to let it know its meaning,
but not

touch her 
as you touch a flower,
gentleness,
like the sun's rays 
when touches the earth,
warming it up
after a cold night.

Premium MemberThe Gentleness of a Visitation

Like a young heart, the sun outshines, 
    flirting with the billows of clouds, 
      leaving a gentle kiss on the blushing horizon.  

  Cry of mucking gulls above, 
    visit the no longer alone, white laced-topped waves;

Premium MemberA Memory of Movement

All the cold words gather
In the memory of a movement;

Where a grinning waits to be upon the face; 
Where mirrors touch their kiss 
To everything, that anyone would miss.

While we all wish that we could be awake, 
Or sleep until all days and nights 
Fall far more softly into each.

Like a curtain, we are certain
