Angels of grace
Weak I became
Wrapped in a heavy cloak of guilt and shame
Lost and unable to reclaim
My feet were once firm
now trembled with fear
Afraid to stand before the Lord, my heart unclear
But God, in his mercy, sent me angels of grace
Who listened to my story and showed a gentle face
They helped me rise reminding me

Reclaim Resilience
"Reclaim Resilience"
In the quiet hum of life’s retreat,
I found my strength beneath my feet.
A sailor's heart, a gentle soul,
Whispers of purpose begin to unfold.
From seas and skies, I learned to see,
The dance of life in harmony.
Through yogic breath and ancient lore,
I

Reclaim Your Domain
I wish I could plug
A flash drive in your ear.
I would wipe clean the worries
Hidden deep inside there.
I know they've been hiding
In camouflaged space.
Your very own virus
firmly in place.
Spreading infection
Every which way.
Squeezing the happy
Right out of the way.
It's time to recover,
Diminish your pain.
Pick up your tools.
Reclaim your domain.
Before long, I promise,
With daily scans,
You'll reboot and

Caged Dreams
Caged Dreams
1.
You keep us in cages,
Thinking we are slaves,
But a day will come,
When we will escape.
2.
We look up from our cages,
Longing to be free—
As free as the birds
That soar through the skies.
3.
You think us foolish,
You think us weak,
But a day will come
When you will regret—
Regret every cruel word
That spills from your lips.
4.
You sold us like

In the haze of lights, where the world blurs and you start to reclaim yourself
In the haze of lights, where the world blurs and you start to reclaim yourself,
Standing tall on the fragile pedestal of your own worth,
Their whispers, serpentine and insidious, slither into your thoughts,
Like brainwashed subjects, chanting their mantras of doubt.
"Where does all this self-importance come from?" they hiss,
As if your burgeoning strength were a threat to

Reclaim inner light
Celebrate fall, celebrate rise,
for it is after all, a game
over before ink of heart dries,
so let’s fulfil here now soul’s aim.
The times’ now to give love a nod,
entering cave of heart unshod,
transformed therein as living light,
pulsating with joy, day and night.

Reclaim our destiny
Reclaim our Destiny
(Verse 1)
Yo, it's a struggle just to survive this life,
Cost of living rising, but wages don't suffice.
Living off government funds, barely getting by,
Can't afford the rent, it's sky-high, oh my!
Real estate leeches playing God with our lives,
Profit over people, their greed never subsides.
The government in bed with the elite, it seems,
Their vaccines dividing

Take Back Reclaim Offense Please For Everyones Sake
Personally above and beyond all
I hate and despise in this world
Is misappropriation of certain
What used to be meaningful words
Critically descriptive important essential
That have been devalued demeaned
To such a lesser degree they bare no relation
To the initial gravitas they instilled
Like when I hear the throw away term
Racism is used currently bounded about today
With total and

Reclaim Hearts Joy
Reclaim heart’s joy, in staid silence
Our soul whispers to us
Renounce now, thought borne violence
Let not desires nonplus
God’s bliss mists pervades form
Feel this benign love storm
As His magnetism warm
Sans ego ploy
Reclaim heart’s joy

Spring, Let Me Reclaim You
Dreaming of gaily-colored tulips
red's majesty, iris purple
sunburst yellow...
Eyes grown heavy, curtains closing
a smile dancing on dewy lips
envisioning a soft April's morn...
O, Spring, let me reclaim you
if only

Coming Home 2 Reclaim My Birthstone
Oh mother
I'm coming home
To reclaim my birthstones
To answer the question as to why ?
I abandoned you in the 1st place
Face to face
Eye to eye
To appologies and make my amends
For all my failings
Until you no longer blame yourself
for my failings
It was never your fault i posessed the
backbone of a snake
I just never had the stomach

Am I Ready To Reclaim Me
I feel the vitamin D saturating my cells
My morose mood dissipates
The longer I am in the sun
The happier I feel
Why have I kept myself out of the sun for two days?
Will I come out earlier tomorrow?
Am I ready to be myself again?
Am I ready to reclaim my health and me?

Baggage Reclaim
Love is a kind of madness and, as such,
can sometimes hoist its victims to strange heights.
Though love may cause a fever where it bites,
this time the troops have quelled the pending putsch.
I ask your pardon for our magic nights,
those rhymes I wrote you, crackling with emotion:
you'll overlook, I hope,

Reclaim Summer
His lover, sits and waits there by the water, singing her song.
Outstretched hands, reaching towards the horizon, wishing him home.
If only, she could raise him up, reclaim summer, from the deep.

Reclaim Your Dreams
If things have not been going the way you have dreamed,
Remember in life it’s not all how it seems,
If the waters are rough and your barley afloat,
Remember whose steering your rocky boat,
You’ll make it THROUGH to the other side,
Just sit back and enjoy your bumpy ride,
For storms are the tests we all have to take,
But
