Strands

My path for the
new week is

Waiting to be woven,
created into a

Design inspired by
my own choosing.

All roads in life
are different, the

Patterns as unique
as our lives.

I thread my strands
together, and begin.

Restless

Restless
sleep and bad dreams
clouded a peaceful rest,
finally waking to seek for
his arms.

Worthwhile

Searching

for a better

position is hard work,

but the arduous journey is

worthwhile.

Sunset

As the setting sun
paints shades of orange across
darkening skies, I
think about the sudden turns
my precious life has taken.

Don't Let Go

Don't ever let go of

the thread.

Even when life

takes away

What you held close

for so long,

You never let go 

of that thread.

Even when your trust

is betrayed,

When the ones you

believed in

Weaves a web 

of deceit,

You never let go

of that thread.

Hold on for dear life,

since this sacred thread

Which is now frayed

is a path to more

Intricate stories to come,

adding another layer

To your evolving

life journey.

You never let go

of that thread.

**Inspired by 'The Way It Is' by William Stafford**

Steadily

I see promise

all around me,

Rising like a bud

breaking through dirt,

It grows slowly,

steadily, until

It shoots up

with firm quickness.

I see this as 

I prepare for

My next step,

and ready myself

For the growth

that is to come.

Clouded

Some days

the feelings cloud

my head like a harsh storm,

and I wonder when the sorrow

will end.

World of Dreams

The song of sleep
beckons us into

The world of dreams,
and our wishes come

To life...secret desires,
silenced by uncertainty,

Are spoken without fear...
locations once visited

Years past now stand
before us, symbolic

Pieces of a puzzle
we yearn to solve

In our waking lives...
the world of dreams

Invite us to explore
our journeys thus far,

So we may travel
through our days

More aware, without
reservation.

One Year Later

One year
later I am
aware of my life as
a free woman, moving forward,
fearless.

Pause

Calling

to whoever

would hear me as my

journey reaches a crossroads. I

reach out.

The Answer

Around the corner

rests the answer to troubles

dwelling in my mind.

Grains of Sand

Life flows like grains of

sand, its beauty flowing through

my fingers with ease,

countless memories carried

away by the changing wind.

Storied Path

The long, storied path
tells its own intricate tale
as I take each step,
footprints left behind standing
for another goal achieved.

Enlivened

I awaken to
a life filled with promise and
growth, new beginnings
just waiting to be lived, my
soul enlivened by your smile.

Shining

The shine in your eyes

glow from miles away, a sign

that you are moving

forward with your journey, not

letting the past hold you back.

2/19/2013

Put to Rest

I put my troubles

to rest and look forward to 

opportunities,

ready to open the door

and welcome new beginnings.

Time to Continue

Dramatic events
have subsided. It is now
time to continue
to move forward with the best
for my life at this moment.

Stories to Share

Each person brings
their own story

To weave with other
tales as life unfolds.

We share to gain
deep connections,

Hoping that one's story
can find another voice

To add cadence
to their rich tale.

Each person brings
their own story

To tell in the journey,
and sometimes spend

Years in seeking
someone to share

Their words, so they
don't spend their lives alone.

Abrupt Ends

There comes a time
when severing a thread

Is necessary,
cutting the frayed cord

Before it grows
more decayed.

A line that began
with mutual

Understanding switches
to confusion,

Talking grows
into tirades,

And then you realize
that maintaining the line

Is damaging
your spirit.

Best to sever
a weak thread

In order to continue
your tapestry of life.

Untangle

I untangle my
hands from the chaotic thread
of emotions that
restricted me for so long. Now,
I begin my journey home.
