Enlivened

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

Mindful

He carries my heart
with great care, always mindful
of my emotions.

Some Days

Some days I am at peace,
assured of my choices in life.

Other days I am in doubt,
troubled by what is to come.

During these moments,
I take a moment

To stop and breathe,
to meditate on my next move,

Before I can move forward
once more, feeling calm,

Rested, at peace.

Stars

I gaze at the stars

shining clearly in the sky,

its pattern of lights

splashed across the dark canvas,

an elaborate painting.

At Last

April's warm climate

gently pushes out winter's 

remaining cold wisps,

a sign that Spring is at last 

ready to take hold once more.

Crossroads

The crossroads stand before me
once again, each direction

Inviting, yet filled with such
questions that I am afraid

To answer: Which path should I
take in my life journey?

Where is my true home in
a life in transition?

Should I continue in this
new land, walking in doubt?

Should I return home where things
are familiar, yet masked in doubt?

Is my true calling in the
Island of Many Hills?

Do I follow the path west,
into the Garden State?

Both directions are lovely,
vast, yet cloaked in the unknown.

I stand at the crossroads once
more. Where do I go now?

Sands of Time

We sift through
the sands of time,

Marveling at how
it flows so easily.

It's precious to value
each moment,

Each grain embodying
a moment of our lives.

We must not allow it
to slip through our fingers

As the winds of change
alter our journeys.
