Crawling from the ground
                                       Beautiful butterfly springs

**First ever attempt at a limerick.  I think I got it right.

There is a nasty little trap
Discouragement for a sap.
Victims feel no grace
Only complain in space.
Their heart is a heavy place....

from the    passenger seat
she watches    life 
sliding past     out her window.
   so many u-turns
   so many deadends
   going the ‘long way’ 
   driving the ‘wrong way’
and never    quite    ever
reaching    her destination.

combing my unkempt hair
unraveling years of not caring
my freedom knotted with reckless abandon
untangling each strand of dissatisfaction
cutting as curls fall away
each length a strand of injured time

Dashing of hopes, disappointment, despair, discouragement

Internal struggles, I statements, 

Vicious misunderstandings, vicious rumours

Outrageous miscommunications

Reasonable mourning

Children suffer the most, feeling they created the situation

Everyone's nightmare,...

Desperate lost love
            a faded dream
            blow tired breath
            Between absurd bitterness
            discouragement wanders
             Certainty cruel absence
             Sign of distrust
             crisp absence love alone
              disbelief......

Feared Compassion's
I am sadness
I dress in brilliant bright but dull colors
I need encouragement
I am related to discouragement
I vacation Blues ville
My job is nowhere
I desire a chance and liberty

Don't hide your smile
Give it away
You may be the one
That brightens a day!

Flash that smile
Hold it in place
Use it today 
A frown to erase!

Stretch that smile 
Let it go a long way
Take the discouragement 
Out of somebody's day!

Hand out a smile
Lend a little cheer
Give someone your time
And donate your ear!...

Believe in no obstacles and limitations.
  A sweet song can heal, cure and delivery a massive storm out of your life.
   Shake off depressions, rejections, discouragement, sorrows and tragedies.
   Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on and dream on!
   Doubters are foolish to underestimate your power of greatness....

As a sunrise in a garden.
As the missed life of a grandchild. 
As a butterfly touch on a flower. 
As a thousand good byes to a loved one.
As a hint of lavender. 
As a word of encouragement. 
As a word of discouragement. 
As a sudden shooting star. 
As a life spent counting the minutes. 
As a life barely lived....

Bringing out the best within
and defeating discouragement
when something  is difficult
It is in making mistakes
yet returning to practice over 
again and again
with sheer grit and determination
that we become more perfect
This does not mean 
we are not without fault
but prepared for a journey
towards getting it right...

If you ever hear
Words that push you further
Rather than draw you near
To the Love of the Father
Robbing you of your cheer
And forcing your hope out of its lather
Taking you to discouragement and fear
And everywhere that the negatives gather
One option is clear
That you should rather
Let it in through one ear
And out through the other...

Discouragement besieges my certainty like
clear blue skies swallowing up the noonday sun.

Anxiety trespasses with spears aimed to unguarded 
thoughts like water rising on deck from an unruly blue sea.

My syncopated language scat of failure
like a night of blustering blues.

Pillaging my ears and ravaging my mindset's goals and dreams....

Tired.
So tired be she.
She wanted to flee the world.
But air got wind of it
   and tornadoed the news
   to friend and foe
Complicating all,
   madly blowing shut windows,
   loudly slamming doors.
Now was not the day
   not the day
not today...
   this storm will pass
   whispered the breeze,
believe and know
This too shall pass....

God knows when we hurt.
He understands all our fears.
He knows when hearts are heavy,
And he sees all our tears.
Just look to him for courage,
And the strength you need now.
He is our lifter upper,
When on our knees we bow.
Through discouragement an sadness,
Our souls to God can flee.
He will uphold His promise.
My Grace is sufficient for Thee....

I can’t stand honey
Without your love
Without your softly touch
Without your warmly kisses

Your love carrying me the calmness ocean
To passed my emptiness day
To passed my dissapointment
To passed my discouragement

Touch me honey with your desire
Release me from my difficulty handcuffs
Release me with your coldness heart
Release me with your passion love...

The journey to reach the mountain top may
be difficult.

Digging deep into the ground as you climb: 
you slide back down.  Discouragement
and utter despair; more weight to bear.

With slippery slopes, craggy paths and
stumbling blocks abounding; you start over
and over again.

You may think you will never reach the
top, but keep your resolve and continue
climbing; it's all in the timing....

A warped perception created by the insecurities of society. Not motivated by nature or intuition, but of layering. Years of negativity, discouragement and unawareness adding grit to the already hazy lens. Deep into suffering, but the end; in no sight. Let the end be dimness, and the light be the start. The viciousness of a cycle; the circle uniting nature and man. I, who speaks, but a gesture from divine....

Your comments have been ecouragement to me
They inspire and build up and set me free

Without a comment now and then
Discouragement would come and set in

I am so happy that my words are read
I am glad they come to life and not fall over dead

I appreciate you all so much
As we communicate and our hearts all touch

My life is rich and better indeed
For all the love you have given to me.

Sincerely Bobb Marly...

Everyday Fatimah Fatimah,
My searches are all about Fatimah Fatimah,
Poems and other literal works are about Fatimah Fatimah,
My dreams and realities are all about Fatimah Fatimah,
My hallucinatings and imaginations are all about Fatimah Fatimah but no star did I ever get from any Fatimah Fatimah,
But only discouragement and disheartenment in love by Fatimah Fatimah.
Or is it that all of them their hearts are the same I don't know....

when inadequacy
comes knocking
who will shove it off the stoop?

when the self importance of this world
makes the air thick
who will slice it thin with humility?

who is that entity of selflessness
sneaking behind the walls,
crouching slowly?

will rays of discouragement,
worthlessness, and the like
burn the skin beyond repair?

I see sadness, but smiles abound.

Happy but hungry,
how can it be?

Faith, love, and you-
respectively....

Exquisite empath
Faithful wounded angel
Pondering rose of hurts

Accompanied by adoring dove
Innocent and caring, both
Petals of discouragement drawn upwards

At your cliff perch
you feel the love of the sun
she senses your faith

You still believe in the goodness of man
Your optimism and love shining through the ether
Touching heaven, showing others 
dreams on earth do come true. 

Exquisite empath, you are the hope
We can feel your joy, and your nurturing ways....

We need you to sprinkle some optimism on earth. 
The other angels are busy, but this matters not
The Gods are asking for you by name. 

You are their choice because of your discouragement. 
Sensitivity and empathy promenade in your aura.
You know what sorrow is, thus you can dispel it.
Having lived it, you understand it. 

You have survived it, and you can teach others to survive. 
The galaxy knows you can uplift and inspire. 
 Spirit guides agree you are their only hope....
