The softness we never gotI'm sorry
I know you may have never been told that
But you deserve it
And so if nobody is gonna tell you that
I will
You deserve it
In a world that has told us to be strong
And has held us to impossibly high standards
I wanted you to know that you matter
And you deserved better
From the world
From your own
I'm...

Shiny and beautiful and newFor the broken. It doesn't have to be this way. Blessings.
Shiny and beautiful and new
By Michelle Morris
30/05/2025
Your broken pieces
Keep making me bleed
Every time I show you kindness
You act like you don't need it
And the blood that is spilled
Even if it's unseen and unheard
Still breaks my heart each time...

My Morning RoutineBreakfast bells ring
In my stomach and
I go downstairs in the
Room where deliciousness
Resides with care and love—
Kitchen,
I stumble slowly
Sinking the moment all in
I take every step
Tap
Tap

Never againNever again
Run away from danger
Oh you man of value
Listen to the call of nature
It holds a destiny for everyone
It will show you the way out
From a Trapped world
Hold on to your pains
Keep your light on
Remember
No one is coming to save you
From a dying world...

Cemetery - Stories To Tell"A Cemetery Can Take Your Breath Away. Watch Out Where You Walk." By Poet
When I travel I love taking photos,
of cemeteries and of a pretty rose.
Sometimes the picture gets my painted toes,
or maybe even my nose.
On one trip I took a long flight,
when looking at my photos I saw a bright light.
Taken in the daytime...

FootprintsBe one with the earth
For she understands all.
All beings are transient; breathe -
Whether you walk or crawl.
In whispers of wind, the stories unfold,
Each step leaves a trace, in soft grains of gold.
Through shadows of ages, our journeys entwine,
In the dance of existence, our footprints...

Ephemeral Grace
Solace, heaven’s temporal embrace,
A fleeting transcendence in time,
A breath lost on a breeze’s kiss,
An eternal moment, yet sublime....

Memories Buried In Time
My migratory mind indomitably mobile,
recedes with the ebb of time, seeks the shore of the past,
as the spirited surfer on the wandering waves of life,
surging on curled crests carrying the fractured full moon,
and within the twirling troughs that store the sunk stars.
The wheel of time churns up the disarray dust,
settling on the...

MY HAIR HONORS GOD
If my hair could talk to God above miraculously
It would express praises and thanks to Him joyfully
For His grace, mercy and love shown constantly
Flowing along His provisions’ banks abundantly!
Yes, my hair would delight in God for cleansing water
Reminding His Word’s sanctifying power
Along His forgiveness that’s ready to deliver
Repentant souls seeking it through their confession-prayer!
Indeed,...

Without ApologyI am tired of pretending
that anger is a flaw.
It burns through me clean,
and still they ask for smiles
while standing knee-deep in the ashes.
I wasn't born to swallow my tongue.
I wasn't raised
to fold myself
just so others could stretch.
There were days I begged to be seen,
and when they looked,
they flinched-
as if the truth was too sharp to...
