Holy morning light
Dances on my skin.
I begin again.
New eyes open.
Limbs stretching.
There is anticipation in
The beat of my heart.
The stir of possibility
In the autumn air
Tickling my senses.
The morning bird shares her
Glorious song,
All life sings along.
Awaken!
Awaken!
The thing is,
You actually believe
There is such a thing as normal,
Yet
You refuse to believe in
Magic,
Serendipity,
Dreams
And
Love.
It seems the ones who are so eager to announce
Judgement and shout
“I would never”
Have never been there,
Where they would
Never.
for most of her life
(more than less)
she was in a state of heightened
fight or flight
her head dizzy
her breathing uncontrolled
her senses and mind wired as tight as a cat ready to run
watching body language
reading expressions and eyes
listening to tone
holding her breath waiting to bolt or duck at any given moment
her whole body racing while standing still
as soon as someone spoke to her, her mind flooded with confusion.
why me? can’t you see i am the ugliest, stupidest most disgusting person here. i am slow
of thought and of no interest.
you must be mistaken.
I am no one.
But you would never guess. Or you might consider then brush it off. she smiles and nods her
head.
Have a nice day, she might say.
by the way she quickly moves away
you would never guess the weight she carries is so very heavy.
You are still trying so hard.
Trying to be different
Is the same as trying
To be the same.
Just be yourself.
Oh darling
Don’t say a word.
Don’t say a word.
Just move closer.
Mama never made us come inside
When it rained.
That is how i know that it is just like any other day,
whether sunny or stormy.
Embrace each day as if as beautiful
As the next.
It does not matter the weather,
It matters your heart
your eyes,
your soul.
Everyone is made of fire.
Some have had their flames doused by self
Doubt,
Or snuffed out by careless actions and words.
They have forgotten the heat
Of their soul.
Let us help remind
Them
They hold the kindling.
Eternal embers remain within.
Let us help one another restart
Our bonfire hearts.
I took a moment
To swim
To the shore
Of the ocean,
This my life.
And i stood and pondered once again.
My bare feet in the warmth of the sand.
My breath taken away by the wind.
This beautiful ocean
blue, green and gray
Is me.
It Is deep and endless.
The reflection
Stuns me as the sun rises,
As does everything in between.
That which begs still to be explored.
I am ready
Come what may
To dive back in.
What unknown part of me shall i delve into Next?
Chole Into Diamonds
