We Straighten Our Crowns

Everyone is struggling with something. And many of us have traumatic childhoods from which we need to heal. 

In order to heal, we need to take time, self-care and space from the world. But, we also need to be able to ask for help when we need it. It's definitely challenging, but a journey worth taking. 

We will oftentimes feel like a butterfly that goes through a complete metamorphosis to become its beautiful self. 

There is a greater power than us in the Universe and it is always there. Give the Universe a chance to have your back.

We straighten our crowns
By Michelle Morris
25/12/2022

When we're young
Our worlds are small
They revolve around our parents
And our four walls

We are limited 
In our perception
We don't understand
All the deceptions

Some are obvious
Some are not
But we often intuit
Signs around us

We grow up
Confused and dazed
Fragmented memories
Create a haze

As we grow older
We understand more
It's not always good
It's not always helpful

But with experience
Comes greater insight
More wisdom for us
To feel right

We can forgive
But often not forget
We need to process
We need to vent

So much anger
So much pain
We often think
Our life was in vain

But when we allow
Light through the cracks
We give the Universe
Chance to have our back

The warmth 
Melts our hearts
And gives us a chance
To weld a new part

Stronger and wiser
With love and hope
We grow our wings
We polish our soul

We straighten our crowns
We dodge the arrows
We live a life that is on
The straight and narrow

And one day
When we go home
We'll know that we
Are souls good to know

Heaven embraces
Each one of us
For we are love
Light and stardust

Far Flung

From creation's dawn matter has been flung
to outer limits, beyond conception.
We live in a fragment somewhere among
imagined limits of our perception.

Here counterfeit creators would exploit
for human ends finite gifts of nature 
and so leave diverse habitats destroyed,
condemning many a thriving creature.

Here dark conflicts of self interest scatter
refugees – their identity displaced,
lost, flung out as waste, rejected matter.
Those poison powers and weapon words disgraced

Justice fair holds the light for all to see
the other as if 'twere me, to create
from fragment people a fresh galaxy
of love and hope at sunset, to relate

to God at dusk. Drawn as one at day's close
to value all of life for its own sake,
we rest at peace gathered from the shadows,
ready for the morrow to be awake.

Premium Member Source of Awareness

No greater source of awareness
Other than God, our savior and fortress
The source of all- lights, life, knowledge and wisdom
To live with peace, bringing forth his words, His kingdom.

God is the greatest source of awareness
To see the things unseen—we’re His power’s witness
He’s the center point of our conscience in His ever-faithfulness
To share with joy, love and hope to spread His mercy and goodness.

In all awareness, God’s the source and no other
Manifested more on spiritual face,” know thyself”
Keeping in our hearts, we’re all created in His likeness
To focus in our inmost soul, His brightest light is shining there.

Each stanza draws a stair ascending to the source, God.

Premium Member Tormented Heart

        An overwhelming sadness
                        bows  to a cloudy
                           chrysanthemum.
                    The joy of a shattered  dream
                       is far better than a sparkling
                                 flowery desert.
                         The  forbearing sky
                             weaves its bliss 
                            into an ecstatic, rambling
                                     rose.
                          In the darkest nights
                             of summer a dreamlike
                                rapture spelling 
                                   the ruined star.
                                                        
                             Oh, dear tormented heart
                                       your purity,  innocence
                                   is a sunny l green
                               flowering daisy  embraces
                                 the light of diamond                       
                                   God;s grace ,love and hope will prevail.

Happy Birthday Beautiful

Thou beautiful maiden with no fears
A thousand roses do not compare to your beauty
You shine like the morning sun and;
Speak like the faintest wind upon my bosom
Almost like water running over pebbles
Your smile lightens even the saddest heart
You are kind, so funny and warm  
You are amazingly special

Thou beautiful maiden with no fears
A thousand words cannot explain my feelings for you
It is sweet, but it also simple, pleasant and passionate
For how does anyone describe a miracle-
It is indescribable, for no words can fit, no words will do justice
It is why it is called a miracle, something new, unexpected, unbelievable
It surpasses expectations and blows all imaginations
Just like you- You are amazingly special

Thou beautiful maiden with no fears
I wish you would live a thousand years and remain beautiful
So, the world will continue to enjoy the miracle that is you
While that is a long time to come, I will celebrate your new year and;
hope it leads you closer to your purpose
And as you continue your journey to impact your world;
May you always be warm and wise 
And face everyday with love and hope
Happy Birthday Beautiful, with all my love!


I Love You

I looked at you when we were young!
I saw a future of love and hope.
I looked at you ten years later,
our love and trust could always cope. 

I looked at you as twenty years past,
thinking then our love could not last... 

I walked away and then came back
to the love we once had...
Now eight years later time flies by,
we live, we love in times good and bad. 

I sit and look at you and imagine ten years from now...
Hoping, believing that time will keep our vow... 

To have and to hold until death us do part,
your hands, tenderness and love keeps my heart. 

Together we walk hand in hand,
forever bound to walk this land. 

To walk in love and faith and trust,
to have, to hold, our love a must... 

You were my love when first we met,
and will forever that is no bet... 

I love you my special friend and wife,
I always will, for the rest of my life...

I love you...

Your husband...

Premium Member Ode to the Cosmos - Greeting from Earth

O, vast expanse of stardust, void, and light,
That burns a hushed symphony through the night,
From trembling earth, a speck of green and blue,
We send our greeting, Cosmos, unto you.
We are your children, born of ancient fire,
Caught in a dance of longing and desire.

We see your nebulae in shades of red,
Where new suns wake upon a starry bed.
We trace the Milky Way’s celestial spine,
And wonder at the wonders that are thine—
The black holes, spinning in their silent gloom,
And comets bring their prophecies of doom.
Yet here, on this small, spinning, vibrant shore,
We gaze above and humbly ask for more.

We breathe the oxygen, a gift of grace,
And send our thoughts into the deeps of space.
Though we are bound to gravity’s firm hand,
Our spirits travel far across the land,
Past Jupiter, where shades of orange sway,
To Andromeda, shining far away.

O, grand abyss, we greet you in the dark,
A tiny, thinking, and passionate spark.
Though we are small, we mirror your great scale,
With love and hope that never seem to fail.
Receive this greeting from our hearts to thee,
A whisper from your vast eternity.

Premium Member Fear, Love, and Hope During Surreal Times

To Covid 19, many still succumb.       
We pray for the return of normalcy.
I’ve learned such times bring out the worst in some,       
the best in others; kindness is their key.

Some words pack stronger meaning than before.
I thought I’d felt true loneliness and fear.
Then lockdowns came and those I most adore      
had Covid. Till they healed, angst lingered near.

At times the solitude has been my friend
and judge. I’ve realized I’m sometimes blind    
to others’ plights, to blessings without end,
to nature, and to chances to be kind.

Heroes Hiding All Around

There are people everywhere
Showing signs of how they care
It could be an angel hiding
In your life and there providing
Help when its lonely and dark
Somehow you feel a spark
Of love and hope in your life
As you see a ray of light
Shining down, parting the clouds
Following you all around
A kind word spoken so low
With sincerity will show
Someone will soon come along
When everything is going wrong
Pulling away the hurt that's building
Replacing it with joy and filling
Your world with a sense 
Of emotions not so tense
As your days are getting colder
And you need a caring shoulder
To release your tears and sorrow
There is one that you can borrow
Any time day or night
Till you start to feel right
In unexpected way and places
Saviors are heavenly graces
That come to us without greed
In our greatest times of need
Safely wrapping us so gently 
With tenderness unselfishly
Always making a connection
With their sweetness and affection
Doing good without asking
The rewarding satisfaction
They receive inside their hearts
Make them HEROES from the start

A Poets Dreams

 There's a special place in heaven
far above the mountain streams.
For love and hope and angels
and dreams a poet dreams.

A poet is a parable.
A message from on high.
Whose words unlock the kingdom
to the tears we cry.

Enchanted, still a mystery
right from the very start.
Heaven holds the answers
to what's in a poets heart.

Like light is to the shadows
that drives the night away.
Are words unto a broken heart
the poet has to say.

Though a poet walk through hell
and other times they crawl.
Their words come straight from heaven
when the brokenhearted call. 

There are dreams a poet dreams
both wide awake and weeping.
That other men may never dream
that only dream while sleeping.

 For there's a special place in heaven
far above the mountain streams.
For love and hope and angels
and dreams a poet dreams.
