Tree

I saw a tree

it wanted to talk to me

it wanted to see

what I would be

The Dream is Back

Oh, there you are all yellow and white.
It is so good to see all of the light.
Where have you been, did you go away?
All I could find was a dull shade of gray.
I’m your dream, I’m still here.
You forgot about me.
I had to wait for you to see.
The gifts have been here for you all these years,
they were hidden behind all the tears.
Now paint, write poems, and help others to heal.
You will shine. This time it is real!

Keep Going and Believing

The dream is there

for all to see

if something happens

and you become

distracted

or

you stumble

just listen and

redirect

get back on your

path and follow

your dream!!

Nothing can stop

you

if you BELIEVE!!

The Layer

is there a way to understand

and not have an

underlying layer of sadness

so far

I try and try

to avoid thinking

about the layer of

sadness that is with

me

It is much easier to see

others and want to

help them

because I really

don't want anyone

to feel like I have felt

and sometimes feel

what I feel leads

to understanding

but I don't know

WHY

stillness

sometimes it still hits me
no matter where I am
or what I am doing
no matter how many
people are with me
or how many aren't
maybe it will never
leave
maybe that is okay
just the way it is
for me
I can still
breathe

The Organization of Writing Thoughts

Writing is like a prescription

I sit down

write what goes

through my mind

go back and read it

then I am completely surprised

that it makes sense

then I am even more

surprised

that anyone can

relate to it

but there is always

someone who

understands

this lets me know

there are others

out there like me

who write for

understanding

I pull what I write

from my heart

most of the time

buried so deep

I can't give it much

th0ught or it will

retreat again

Behind My Eyes

You can find me way back

behind my eyes

I stay there

and observe

Much to learn

much to feel

when my goal

is

to be real...

I am learning to sketch with charcoal. This is really the first thing I have tried. The eye.

the Question

Sometimes it’s all in the question
the look in someones eyes
they need to know someone cares
we all need to realize
to show love to others
is easy if we try
just a heartfelt
”how are you”?
as they pass by

the Silence

Sometimes the silence makes me sad
I don’t know why
More fun to be had?
That’s not it
not fun for me
I am still searching
how to be
to be true
without any
falseness

Missing Peace

When the rain hits the window

it is comforting

even though the sun is

more enjoyable

why does the rain seem

so familiar to me

maybe because it

makes me feel the

feeling that something

is missing

there is a peice of

the puzzle that is

just not there for me

maybe one day

note-writing is my way of working through thoughts in my head, I hope it can make some sort of sense to those who read it.

Right now, I am so thankful for child hugs!!! Nothing better.

Enjoying your gifts!!

As women

we tend to compare ourselves

with others

sometimes dwelling on

our shortcomings instead

of our very

unique personal gifts

if we were all alike

life would be boring

we are all a different array

of colors and styles

made to work together

for good

to form a

beautiful rainbow

EMBRACE individuality-

You are made to be you!

The Puzzle

It is like a deep hole

in the middle is the

truth

it is hard to get to the

middle

lots of layers stand

in the way

once you get

to the middle

it is easy to

trust because

once there

one doesn't ever

get forgotten

Always Friends

I'll be there for you
if you ever need me
not asking anything
in return
except honesty
no matter how often
I see you
or
how often
I talk to you
I'll always love you
and value you
Friendships can take many forms
all are valued in my heart-
never to be forgotten

Happy Thanksgiving Blogger Friends

When thinking of things

in my life that are true

my thoughts lead me to you

My friends who take the time

to read

everything I write

My friends who think

I just might

have some kind of

talent or gift

and give my

day a lift

by leaving sweet comments

The Passing Clouds

Just like the clouds roll by
so does life
some clouds cause storms that
we want to pass
some clouds produce a
much needed watering
this is how life is
we need to go through
the storms to know
how to live in the light
to know how to drink
in the refresher rain
feel the feeling
in order
to move forward

Contrasts

There is something about contrasts of color and shapes, that I find peaceful.
Just like the contrasts between people. We are all different but ALL of us have something to offer, something that only we can give....to make the picture complete. :)

Make Sense of Why

Why is a question I ask a lot

about anything I don't understand

everything connects to something

there are no coincidences

to sit and think about the invisible

thread that ties us all together

helps me make sense of all the

WHYS

The Path

God Knows all

he planted the path

for us

in our hearts

sometimes we

have trouble seeing

it

we have so much

to do

so much to see

it is important not

to miss

the clues

the stepping stones

leading to the path

they are there

to lead us to

the places where

our gifts are

most needed

For my Friends

It is okay

to

take some time

to understand

yourself

to ponder what

you want

and

what you feel

there is encouragment

you can feel

from others

take it

it will help you

when you

are trying to

follow your heart

Embrace Change

If everyone could

step back and see

things

from others

perspective

it would lead

to more people

walking on the

peace path

arrogance leads

to soul disturbance

humility leads to

JOY
