Sunday
A day to rest
A day with no mess
But a day that is blessed
A day that we recover
From all the weeks stress
A day of worship, healing, and fellowship
A fresh start
A renewing of the mind, body, and soul
A day that makes us feel whole.

World Mental Health Day
In the morning, the first rays of sunlight,
Broken hearts healing, fears taking flight.
As we open our eyes to a beautiful sight,
Taking a rest, our bodies sleep all night.
With the excessive burden on your mind,
You have to self-care and still grind.
Mental health is not to be celebrated one day,
It is a daily work that brings peace

No Tote Bag Needed
Eyes close head tilt back...
As I arrived out of thin air
the sand was warm to touch
the tide rush in from the shore
water cool as it covered my feet
rays from the sun heat my skin
I searched for a lounger under a tent
table had a tray of things to enjoy
shades, fruits, books, and

REST
My body's not a stone, unyielding and cold
Nor is it wood, unfeeling, and old
It's flesh and blood, with needs that must be met
Rest and relaxation, to rejuvenate and reset
Don't be a slave to labor, toiling ceaselessly
For when you're gone, your efforts will be but a memory
Those you've worked for, will call you a fool, in

Turn Off The Noise and Shhhh SHhhhh Shhhh
Have you ever thought to sit down and just think?
Have you ever thought to just lay down and let the wind blow to you, kiss you, hug you and be with you?
Have you ever heard the thought to just let the sun shine unto you with his brightest light?
Have you ever thought

Happiness Is A Distant Beach
I have a secret happy place that's deep inside my head,
It's where I like to visit every night when I'm in bed.
I travel there by boat, the sail flaps gently on the mast,
The ocean shines a million shades of blue, the sky is vast.
My happy place appears on the horizon far away.
I land my boat

You Are Loved
You are loved
Loved are you
You are cared for
Cared for are you
The past is the very last
The very last is the past
The present is the very first
The very first is the present
Tomorrow is not now
Now is not tomorrow
All is now
Now is all
In this space you are safe
You are safe in this space
The focus

Light Some Stripey Candles
Light Some Stripey Candles
Light some stripey candles,
Brew a chocolate hot.
Dress in a festive sweater,
Sit in a cosy spot.
Watch the fire glowing,
Count gifts around the pine.
Admire the sparking baubles,
Take sips of dark mulled wine.
Put on your favourite carols,
Relax as music flows.
Enjoy the calm warmth spreading,
Forget your daily woes.
Enjoy a sense of drifting,
Eyes closed and thoughts sublime.
Let

GIVEN SO FREE
Darl! Let's go to Manhattan beach,
There we can catch some fish,
Then you'll cook a nice dish,
That we'll eat under the Beech.
This time, if Jennifer goes,
She'll want to eat a lot of Mangoes,
Then we'll send some by cargoes,
Like we did when we were on hol's in Fargo.
Oh! That reminds me, dearie!
Can you help me cut

Introducing Mark Toney
The real McCoy, not phony
Works hard on accounting and income taxes
Writes poetry and prose as he relaxes
Mark fancied himself a tax expert
Cool pocket protector on his shirt
Touting tax tips he tried
Till terribly tongue-tied
Nevermore will he overexert
Hundreds flocking to Mark’s door
What does tax time have in store?
Mixed reactions to Mark’s beckoning
As they face their

Sleep Deprived
Our very survival requires at least some sleep
Collectively we never get enough due to our hectic lives we keep
I think as a whole the lack of shut-eye has affected how we sleep
Our lack of not being able to focus has thrown everything out of sync
We think by not getting enough rest we have more time

Morning Chill
Monday rolls up
there's not much to say
morning grey drizzle
seems on for the day
Perfection in circles
sizzling bud in a pipe
rings reach for the ceiling
fat, round, and tight
Rib-eye sits resting
six eggs on the pan
I mix three margaritas
then turn off the fan
After breakfast times two
it's all rhythm and blues
laying back on

The Green Grass Sways
The green grass sways
While the melody from the lone piper plays
And the crickets and the owls patiently wait
For the intro to their stanza by the old creaky gate
The blue summer skies reach up high without a care
While the earth worries incessantly and is constantly aware
But, the cows are hardly moving and the flowers are
