Measure

Posted on by

Do not take lightly the pain
Of another because they do not hurt like you,

(measuring with your eyes

that which cannot be poured into a cup)
Honor another’s soul (and your own)
And know that pain is pain;

Yet again relative only to each persons heart And soul experience.
We need to sit and listen more
Be gentle
Be love
Laugh
And validate
Look each other in the eyes
And say  (to yourself as well)
“I know you exist.
I see you,
I feel you.
You are worthy
And you are enough.”

With Only A Sigh

Posted on by

You cry out loud

And they all come running.

Instead

She stifles herself.

Covers her own mouth.

Maybe she is too proud.

It is all relative.

Life.

And what we perceive as disaster.

Our minds comprehending the thick and thin

From different angles.

Maybe she finds herself not good enough.

 Her worries

Less worthwhile.

She has held back so far,

The cry.

Thinking she would use it only

In her last effort

To hold the velvet curtains

Open.

But perhaps

She will slip

Into the

Silver twilight

With only a

Sigh.
