She is fine
Until she falls
And then
She crawls.
But no one sees you when
You are beneath
Their feet,
It does not occur to them at all,
Unless they too have
Been
Below
For they know without a doubt,
Recognizing the sound
Of a barely beating heart.
I am running all over,
Falling apart.
People talk at me.
Their eyes darting
Anywhere else but mine
Looking for escape.
And I tell myself I am fine,
There is nothing wrong,
But every message I get from humans
All around
Is i am not.
And I choke back the tears sometimes
And I laugh out loud at myself
Sometimes.
And they walk on,
Walk on by
And I wish them love.
Nothing but love
Because I see their pain swirling around their hearts and minds.
And they still won’t look me in the eyes.
They turn away
And turn away again.
And I turn to the Angels
All around us
And thank them believing they see me.
I keep going and going
Knowing We are all here for a reason.
……
And
I need reminders
Today
Of
Hope
And strength.
My knees are weak
And
It feels as if a corset has been tightened
Around my ribs a
Cinch too tight.
Inhaling little bits;
Shallow and dizzy.
I am on a slippery slope.
Can’t seem to get a grip.
And what if one day
I just don’t have
Enough
Of me
To
Keep a hold of,
If i am not strong enough to fight myself?
Embrace.
They try to reach him (me)
But
They do not know how.
He is lost (I am lost) only in this realm;
Found out there beyond.
I see them (he does too)
They do not see us.
And his voice sounds like
Music, silence and heartbeats.
They only know words.
Be bold.
Look into your own
Brilliance.
For you will go blind,
But for the first time
You will see.
Never give up on humans.
(Yourself included)
We are all doing the best we can
Wherever we may be on the
Wild journey
Called life.
All from different backgrounds,
Different families.
Some come from steadfast foundations,
Some grew up in battlefields.
Patience.
Compassion.
Some feel stuck in places they don’t belong
But we get frustrated with them.
We see things differently.
Perspective.
Relativity.
Gentle speak,
Steady love.
Believe in one another.
There is more good,
There is more beauty than
Some choose to see everyday.
Stop listening to the noise
And listen.
(If you are ready)
Stop giving up
And sit in stillness.
Go back to the beginning.
Look
And see.
Hold your gaze in one place
And see.
(we all get lost)
Sing softly to those who are lost
And help them return
To themselves.
(When you are ready)
Do not be discouraged.
There is a big
Beautiful world out there.
Go see it.
See it all
Then
You might wish to return home after all.
You might not,
But sometimes
You just might.
Look at life as if your muse.
There she is right in front of you,
In the sky, the earth, the creatures around you.
The air that touches your skin.
The fruit that grows on the trees.
Look and see. Breathe and feel
Everything,
Everyone
As if new everyday.
So mysterious,
Magical and deep.
Fall in love again and again.
The Magnolia trees are
Blooming. The flowers are stirring.
I watch the shades
Of color change on each leaf
As the sun rises.
As the greens brighten so
Quickly in response to the
Slightest touch of light,
As they come to life.
Anticipation trembling from
Root to top in realization there has come
Another
Day to grow.
The squirrels chitter.
The butterflies dance and the
Trees keep company as they do.
They sing in sweet harmony,
“Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.
Open your eyes and heart.
See. See. See.”
If you never stop and look
You will never see
Went for a drive today.
Forgot about everything for a while,
But the clouds and sky.
Went for a drive today.
Stopped wondering why for a little bit
And let my mind wander to softer thoughts.
Life is as good as you see it to be.
