Seven years in the making, my first published book, This Phoenix Speaks , is now a reality. The tireless and tiring work invested to ma...

beauty




Beauty is in the details of

This life that sometimes even 

Ofttimes does not seem so 

Beautiful unless you examine 

The threads with care. 


Black thread, grey thread, 

Purples, reds, and even green, 

Have a common thread of golden 

Roped around and in between every 

Single thing. 


The shine and shimmer can barely be

Perceived when the seamstress busies 

Herself with the grey of the day, yet 

They are there, waiting for you.


Beauty looks like waking after a long

Night of struggle and tears

When the sun comes up and warms

Our slumped shoulders and

Lends us energy anew. 


you are okay




It really should not be this 

Difficult

To keep breathing and living

Each day


Or should it?


Maybe we are supposed to 

Feel

Maybe we need to struggle and think

Each day


What do you think? 


Your experience matters 

100%

Your ability to cope 

Each day


Are you doing okay?


If you can answer this question

Yes

Maybe everything is okay

Each day 


Will you remember and just breathe? 


every turn




Don't mind me

I'm just figuring things out

As I go 

With gusto


Time keeps running out

At every turn

And the turns 

Are unceasing 


And somehow 

I keep going

It doesn't seem possible

Yet here we are 


Running in a race 

That isn't a race

Walking, not fainting

And learning at every turn


belief




a hope that keeps you afloat

in times that keep you wondering

about everything that might be true

and everything that is 


a word, the word which

hits your heart and flips a

switch in you


keeping you in 

the arms of God's love


a choice
