My Wish

I wish
that people would
look beyond pettiness
and embrace what is important
in life.

Choices

Sometimes

we make choices

without thought, the results

being harmful for the person 

involved.

Her Smile

She greets

everyone with

such happiness, her smile

lifting our spirits, bringing such

sweet joy.

In times
of strife I dream
of being in your arms,
your safe embrace always peaceful,
so sweet.

providing much needed life
to our precious gifts.

I will prepare,

for tomorrow a chance

to thrive once more will come into

being.

Onward

Today
I made my next
move, now pushing ahead
after overcoming setbacks,
renewed.

Ready

From the darkness, I
shout for help, praying for a
kindred soul to hear.

Mending

I struggle to bind
loose threads together and mend
a fragile friendship.

Possibilities

There is a chill
in the air

As I walk down
the path

I've taken many
times before.

The path is
worn and beaten,

Imprinted with
familiarity.

It's time for me
to venture on

A new path,
fresh with possibility.

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**

Threading

Threading
your life with mine
is such a joyous act.
Our lives blend in such harmony,
peaceful.

Splintered

When the place you've once
called sanctuary

Falls into great
disrepair,

When the place you've once
considered a haven

Splinters and fails
from broken promises,

All that you can do
is mourn,

So you grieve for
the peace once shared,

Peace that will never again
emerge from that space,

Then after you've grieved,
after all the tears are shed,

You take a deep breath,
pull yourself together,

And continue on your
journey once again.

Fractured Ties

As I
attempt to fix
fractured ties, I keep in
mind that there are hidden layers
to mend.

Adventure

As we

turn the pages

of our life stories, a

litany of adventures are

written.

One Year Later

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

Regret

Feeling

regret over

a choice made in the past,

consequences still felt, its grip

intense.

6/24/2013

Shining

Lovely,
glowing moon, too
lovely to put into
words. Its silvery shine stretches
for miles.

The Answer

Around the corner

rests the answer to troubles

dwelling in my mind. 

6/20/2013

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.
