Placed and Treasured

My things are placed
around the room:

A small bookcase,
treasures containing

Poetic words, colorful
threads, and dramatized lives.

On top of the case
rests family photos and

Animals held
dear to my heart.

A mirror that sits
on a storage box,

Its random contents
holding the looking glass

In place. A fan
too big for the closet

Sits next to my dresser.
Photos of my mother,

Cousins and godmother
are visible, loving

Symbols of light
during my darkest days.

My walls are bare for now,
waiting for memories

To be framed and treasured,
waiting for new

Stories to be told.

Bonding

Loved ones, during times
of great need, treasure gentle
words and loving deeds
as they endure their darkest
moments, strengthening the bonds.

Sense of Peace

Finally bearing
that sense of peace after an
erratic time frame;
releasing that crushing fear
of the unknown, moving on.

Every Moment

Sometimes you need to
smile and laugh in stressful days,
take a long, deep breath
so you can collect yourself
and live for every moment.

Blooming

Her spirit keeps on
blooming despite the icy
conditions, rising.

Ensnared

Turning another
page in the book of my life
as I try to move on
from the pain that ensnared me
for a long time period.

Among the Stars

This is your special

day, celebrating among

the stars within a

clear December evening. You

are always missed, always loved.
