before the storm arrives. Shades

Chasing Dreams

Some live

in denial,

while others work hard to

accomplish their life-long wishes

and dreams.

Temporary

Despite

my challenges,

I feel that these setbacks

are temporary. They will pass

in time.

Calm Afternoon

A day of crochet

and great conversation made

our time meaningful.

Rooted to the Ground

I am a tree

rooted to the ground.

I cherish the roots

that keep me centered,

Guiding me to my core

in times of stress.

At times the barriers

threaten to uproot progress,

Yet the earth

calls me home,

Calls me to calm

my center, so my roots

Can further my growth

once again.

Love Again

Love again the stranger

that was yourself.

Reach out to that person

with the faraway gaze

Who seems to search for

something unattainable,

Not realizing that the answer

rests within your soul.

Care for that stranger

who's lost her way;

Guide her toward finding

the key to her heart.

Encourage her to unlock it,

so that she may know herself

once more.

Revealing

Visiting You

We are now apart,

but I always cherish your

presence as I go

to where you rest, my soul calm

when there, sadness mixed with peace.

Yesterday Morning

Waking

to the soft sounds

of birds and the cool wind

whispering softly through my hair,

gliding.

The Test

Her strong

spirit is put

to the ultimate test,

as people with negative thoughts

block her.

onto beliefs,

knowing that my stressed life

will change for the better. Patience

Halfway
