ONCE IN A LIFETIME
Someone comes into your life.
Someone who just naturally,
makes you feel a lil happier.
You are that someone for me.
You have opened my eyes to a new perspective,
On a lot of different important things, including myself.
You have said things to me that no one else ever has.
I will always remember how you helped me in so many

Where's the Bottom
There is a bottom that is past what we thought we knew.
The sub-floors are there for false safety and reason, too.
When we get to the dirt under all the lies
and find the reasons we want to stay alive,
we are prepared to give it up and live instead of die.
The dirt we find on the floor

Life Changing

Life Changing
In these quiet woods, as shadows spread,
Timorous leaves whisper my secrets to the breeze.
A sentinel of time I am among the malus trees.
My roots run deep in my seed’s homestead.
--
I stir under the warm sun anew.
My blossoms blooming bouquets of pink petals fair,
I stand in

Saman's herb
Saman’s herb
Oh, samans, from the past, from exotic lands, thank you for my new life
Thank you for my new dreams, perspectives, hope, fantasy, and fate
Yes, a blocked life got a new direction in his life of you – goodbye past
Oh, Samans! I love your life, your first tea was a great blessing to my life

Life-Changing Love
Life-Changing Love
Life changing, but where is the power, fatigue is the burden
Suffering, miserable life, affliction, painful memories, past
Oh, where is love? Love is just a tale, a fairy tale, a big fake
Life-changing is not possible, my life is in beton and bitumen
My love brought me into this living-dead life. Oh, lovely love
I needed her, just

Look up!
Look up!
There is light, there is the sun, there is
- there is a different life
Must go up, if you want to change and make a new life
- change, change, needs only one time
Gives life, nevertheless, what is eternal
- no need for more opportunities, no need
And your spirit in space will forever and ever fly.

A Weightloss Journey - a Life Changing Dream
Shortness of breath, the struggle with stairs
The paranoid thoughts, of judgemental stares
Tomorrow I'll start, next week I will too.
The person you're fooling can be only you.
You carry on, each day just the same.
Every week again and again
No planning, no prepping, just take and away.
Spiralling down, delay underway
Hoping and dreaming, I'll do this one

The Life Changing Seasons
The Life-Changing Seasons
Life is a staircase,
Problems will arise as we climb,
Challenges brought anew,
Time becomes a race
The steps don’t align,
Seasons change,
Seasons go,
Raging like a storm.
A calmness stirs,
The wind blows,
The clouds glow,
Hits with a crack,
Next step sorrow,
The fear begins to grow,
All the

Life-Changing
Bert loved his garden
Full of shrubs and flowers
His garden was his life
He worked in it for hours
Until one day in winter
There was torrential rain
Wind, thunder and lightning
Caused poor Bert to complain
He looked out to his garden
A big part of his life
It always gave him pleasure
Now it was causing strife
He felt he had lost everything
That had

A Life Changing Event
I can't explain just how
I feel.
I know my heart will never
Heal.
If you could see what I
See.
What just could never
Be.
I was a part of a
Whole.
Now I have a wounded
Soul.

Miracle Man
2/24/2022
I was like a Salmon, always swimming upstream,
or facing some mountain that I couldn’t top.
No viable life plan, that would achieve my dream,
until unexpected news caused my drifting to stop.
Things began happening that I didn’t foresee,
I saw my problem as either a barricade or span.
By accepting the hand that reached out

Life-Changing Venture
Just recently was the commemoration
of my ministry-engagement anniversary
making me reminisce that significant moment
when I was confronted vis-à-vis my tenacious opinion
on spiritual matters --- Oh, my personal predicament
regarding the sublimely divine was put into the crucible~~~
An encounter that has become a milestone in my faith venture…
Bible study for the first time
Awakened my soul with

Addict
Just because I’m breathing, doesn’t mean I’m alive.
A walking vessel, with one purpose and one drive.
Willing to abandon everything for one more magical ride.
To escape reality, trading in shame for my pride.
Ignoring my intuition, yelling and screaming for me to break free.
The demon I invited into my life, constricting its grip on me mentally.
Hush now

Beth's Ultimate Life-Changing Prophecy
It used to be responsibility
was something Beth had wriggled from until
she dreamt, yet chose not to reveal, the prophecy
that blessed her life and gave her newfound will.
No longer was her life monotonous,
for not a moment did she waste of it.
And there was not a girl more generous.
Her transformation was the ultimate!
One day Beth went

Four Point Seven: Morph
A song is a poem that seized its opportunity to fly
A dance is a close-lipped soliloquy narrated by vigor
A story is a word with blazing sentiments that can't die
Every mastery is a tenacious failure
A laugh is a smile learning to be an extrovert
A noise is a whisper that couldn't stay in its zone
A race is
