Refreshed and rejuvenated, I cleaned my room
Scoured my kettle, tidied up my riding broom
Put spell books in alphabetical order
Rebuilt my back stairs with brick and mortar.
Now I am pooped and have to take a nap.
Curled up in my black cloak and witch’s hat
My familiar is curved up in a ball next to me.
She will lick me awake when it’s time for tea.
Redolent
moon bath
evaporates
force from my skin
Rejuvenated
closed eyes
bubbly beam suspired.
The clouds rise above heaven,
And rain joy on dry lands.
The trees bend to every breeze
that flows like water.
Mountains have been wiped clean
Of all dust and now their beauty has clarity.
The green of forests, even from afar shined brighter now,
As the monsoon has cleansed all earth.
The sky has been stolen from its sparkling blue,
The brush strokes of grey are present on God's canvas.
The hills have been adorned with crowns in the form of clouds.
The rivers and streams have come to life,
Their youthful energy bubbling with laughter.
And across many lands, there lies an ocean, crucified beneath all thunder.
My dear Earth has now been rejuvenated.
If Only They Knew the obstacles
Are truth
To make us whole again
To keep me my light shining
To so I know whose I AM
Ifonly they could fathom my new heartbeats
After ALL I am a survivor of my soul I've been tarnished
But God kept me WHOLE this I know
I'm rejuvenated I am physically spiritually sown
I'm a seed that was in the ground
Now i reach up to towards the skies
Liken a tree my roots are planted so they spread down
I am alive, no I am not dead
If they only knew the obstacles are true
They would too have stayed believe and recieve Speak Life Untie the hands and mouths of those who are lesser than
I am situated new
crown
I am found Rejuvenated

Happiness cannot be visited, earned, worn, or possessed.
It is the spiritual experience of love and grace that leaves us rejuvenated and refreshed.
The rejuvenation of the spirit is crucial and a daily necessity.
Routine reading of good quality material will expand your territory.
Opportunity is the name of each rung on the ladder of success.
One must take risks in order to get better, then make better your best.
The traits of the strong indicate a nonyielding effort and they do not back down when receiving a bruise.
These are people who are not willing to throw in the towel, even if by chance they lose.
Sometimes all you need is a leap of faith to propel you to success.
With desire and focus, all of your wants and needs will be addressed.
Make sure your worst enemy does not reside between your own two ears.
The greatest gift, the greatest possession we have is the power of love that chases away all fears.
Eager to return to the country
To live out my days in peace
To experience the joy of the wild
I take a deep breath as I meet the silence
She is an old friend, comforting and kind
Excited to begin a new journey
Using crisp white sheets of paper
I line up my pens and begin to meditate
A flying bird outside the window takes my attention
Hawk? Raven? Crow? I think of Poe.
Enthusiasm is pouring out of my pen
I cannot write as fast as I think.
My brain is as frenzied as my heart is relaxed.
I feel rejuvenated, alive, loved.
Nature is returning me to my spiritual self.
"Poisonous thorn is extracted from your soul and heart when you forgive"
Rejuvenated
All desires washed away
The azure weeps
To dark night's illumine
Sobs subtle heart
Some reflections of past
Usurp my sleeps
As all life rests tranquil
For a fresh start !
