I sense one's journey far more enduring than any given moment...even death be not final.

Sometimes the Sun really burns me --
too clear, a blabber of truth...while
the moon a bit more sympathetic, willing
to hide some blemishes, though a
great-deal more deceptive when it
comes to matters of heart.
|
If you love, love like the water in the ocean, there is no turning back nor excuses, love with the waves.

Best to turn away from gossip. Everyone gets hurt, yourself included, when coming to conclusions that are likely not conclusive.

Burnout is not a sign of hard work; it is the inevitable result of trying to pour from a cup that has no bottom.
|
True power is the alchemy of turning the 'what if' into the 'what is.'
|
Best for the heart to hibernate sometimes -- return fresh for a new growth season.
|
Survival mode is not where we are meant to remain; it is a temporary refuge for the weary soul while it searches for a path forward. Such is life—we stumble, we heal, we endure, and we press on until, one quiet day, we return to the silence from which we came.
|
There is no beauty in a frown, never let your smile turn upside down.
|
Serenity is worth more than gold, as we make the journey to our sacred goal.
|
All addicted to something! At least I've only kept my least harmful -- life has been quite a journey. Doubtful I will survive.

Creativity...a moment with God! Yes, spirit is everywhere one is open to receiving. The everything that went into a small blossom -- each wonder an introduction, a doorway to one's greater miracle of divinely seeing and expressing. Nothing exists outside of God...and all are connected, meridians of The Infinite. Write...paint...invent~ a never-ending journey.

Justice that doesn’t burn isn’t justice. It’s paperwork. And paperwork never healed anyone.
|
It's not your business to make motion. You are not the current nor the waves. Your task is to turn your face to the morning and steer your craft into the sun.

"We are all stars, burning bright, but often hiding behind the clouds of our own making." ~Bella Joy

Wisdom begins when we question the peace we gain from pretending, so that regret, lit by our indifference will not burn us alive.

please support my younger poems on PoetrySoup under Briyanna Lawes. I lost access that login but would love for my readers to be able to interpret, constructively critique and give input regarding my voice, growth, & overall journey as an individual who always had writing as not only an outer, but a savour.
Nothing but love, respect, thanks and gratitude for all that Take the time to read my words <3

Any travel must be a journey of discorvery and introspection, not for any vanity. February 2026.

“To burn in frozen fire I sought to name Love; ended I both furnace and glacier, yet neither warmed nor chilled the soul.”
|
Love is like fire; it burns and warms.
|
Much better if life is more than a habit, remains a burning desire despite the condition of its home. If asked to come back, I will, despite the painful challenges. Duty to self and others. Much I have yet to understand.
|
Travel-distance is no journey by itself...more, whether and how our senses conjoin -- if one is committed to a truthful forward pace of mind and heart.
|
The eyes of conception curves its way the streams of life begin astray. Fire burns flowers grow the more we learn the less we know.
