Impact

I once again chase the dream
to come into my own,

to be secure
as well as content.

I scratch and claw
my way to peace

Each day, yet it never seems
to make a firm

Impact in recent weeks,
and it took the strong words

Of a dear friend
to make a difference.

Beginning

It now
begins, our new
leaders playing a role
they have little knowledge about,
drowning.

Lost

My thoughts swirl restlessly
like the glass of water

I keep by my bedside,
steadied in brief periods

When meditating, praying
for answers currently paused,

Only to have emotions ebb
and flow when moving,

Not as peaceful as the water
placed close to me;

Restless, searching for a
solution lost in the journey.

Withstand

My eyes cloud with
frustration when I rise

From sleep, readying
myself for a new day

Even through the struggles,
the doubt, the setback.

I must press on despite
the roadblocks, yet sometimes

I wonder how much more
I can withstand.

Drop

Every piece of me
fights to improve

My situation, yet
a big move forward

Is met with more setbacks;
sometimes I wonder

How much longer I can
persist before I drop.

Vision Board

As I construct my board,
I skim through my chosen quotes;

Words being a matter of life...
never feeling defeated
in the midst of defeat...

These words sang in my heart
in years' past, opening the door

To my soul; living, thriving...
how that music silenced
remains a mystery.

My board reflects a vision
waiting to reawaken.

One More

I move,
I walk into
another big challenge,
excitement mingling with some
tension.

Proceeding

I spend the days

rebuilding my path,

So my purpose 

could regain

A sense of direction,

Proceeding with 

Renewed confidence.

Wishing

I look back at 

my journey thus far

With a tinge of regret,

wishing I fought to

Maintain the thread of

independence longer,

Instead of severing

the line out of fear.

Fighting

She fights
for her voice to
be heard among the wolves,
refusing to let her talents
flounder.

Dreams

Every night I dream
that my frustrations will end,
if I just believe.

Urgency

She calls with an
urgent message,

Making a decision
that would change her life;

She stands alone,
yet she proceeds to act,

Changing her path
for good.

Counting

I count
the days, waiting
patiently for a shift
in luck so my next chapter can
be penned.

Eager

I am so eager

to pursue my dreams. I breathe 

and get down to work.

Secrets

Secrets
exist within
the home, trying hard to
keep her away from important
events.

Steps

As autumn begins,
I think about my next steps
on my harried path.

Unrest

Seeking
peace this morning
as unrest discolored
my perspective. I long to find
stillness.

09/22/2015

Valuing Peace

In hectic times,
I value peace,

Moments of calm
poking through the

Fog of chaos,
very easy

To lose oneself
in the thick haze.

I cherish those
sweet instances

Of quiet, where
finding yourself

Takes deep breathing
and great stillness.

09/21/2015

Passive

Sometimes people
are unable

To express thoughts,
choosing instead

To act rashly,
passive yet quick,

Trying to draw
a rash response.

When this happens,
know that people

Stuggle daily
to interact

With each other,
and we need to

Be patient when
speaking, and breathe.

09/18/2015

Not Hearing

People
constantly yell
at each other instead
of listening to a person's
reasons.
