Dreams can come true, dear

Upon a star, wishes fly

Work for it, they say

No matter what you will do

Remember, “Just keep going”…

All I want is peace

Fear it will never happen

I hope and I pray

That one day it will find me 

Until then, I keep searching…

Vision in my head

Now, I need to work for it

One step at a time

Put ideas together 

Make it all happen for you…

Frustrated Soul

Oh, frustrated soul, so full of pain
Bound by thoughts that can’t be tamed
You long for things that can’t be rearranged
But oh, dear one, you must embrace the change
The past, like a heavy weight, you carry
But it’s time to let go, it’s necessary
For life moves on, it never stays the same
And clinging to the past will only bring you shame
The present, a canvas, waiting to be painted
But you’re stuck, feeling so suffocated
By things that can’t be altered, no matter how hard you try
But dear one, don’t you see? It’s time to spread your wings and fly
For change is the only constant in this world
Like a river, it continues to unfurl
And though it may be scary, it’s also beautiful
For it brings new experiences, and lessons crucial
Let go of control, and embrace the unknown
For within it lies opportunities yet to be shown
You’ll find peace in accepting what can’t be changed
And open your heart to a life that’s rearranged
So don’t be frustrated, let go of that pain
For change is not something to be restrained
It’s a journey, a chance to evolve and grow
So embrace it, dear one, and watch your spirit glow
Let go of the past, and open your mind
For the future holds wonders, waiting to be aligned
With the path you were meant to take
Just have faith, and embrace the change, for goodness’ sake.
Dear frustrated soul, it’s time to let go
And trust in the universe, to guide you and show
That change is not something to fear or dread
But something to be embraced, and willingly tread.
So spread your wings, and fly towards the light
Let go of your worries, and take flight
For change, my dear, is the only way
To find true happiness, every single day.

-M.A.D.

Resurrance

In times of doubt, when skies are gray,
Know that brighter moments are on the way.
Though challenges may try to bring you down,
You’ll overcome, and joy will come around.

PANTS
WEARY
SHATTER

Wearing weary pants with a tired seam,
Carrying a burden, like a broken dream.
My spirit feels shattered, frayed and worn,
But still, I carry on, though I feel torn.

Mystery in My Jacket: Missy’s MAD Challenge #001

Oh my! what is this
hidden away in my jacket
I haven’t seen it in ages
what am I going to do with it?

Perhaps it’s a forgotten note
or a trinket with a story to tell
An old photograph or a coin
Lost in time, waiting to be found

Whatever it is, it’s a little mystery
A glimpse into my own history
I’ll savor the moment, take a pause
And appreciate this unexpected cause

Damp dew covers all.

Just before the sun warms us.

With the morning’s dawn.

Nature’s beauty shines so bright

EGO
PERSONA
SELF

A person named Ego had quite the persona,
Always thinking highly, like a majestic iguana.
But deep down inside, beneath the bravado and pelf,
Lay a tiny, insecure, and fragile self.

All eternity.

Encapsulates all moments.

From the first to last.

Time flows endlessly onward.

Embracing all that has been.

Commentary, Daily Prompts

The Joy of Drawing

Daily writing prompt
Describe one habit that brings you joy.

I find drawing to be a deeply enjoyable and fulfilling habit. There’s something incredibly satisfying about putting pencil to paper and bringing my imagination to life. Whether it’s sketching scenes from nature or creating abstract designs, drawing allows me to express myself in a unique and beautiful way. It brings me a sense of calm and contentment, and I often find myself lost in the process, completely absorbed in the act of creating something new. Also, when I can I enjoy showing my art to my readers.

SHORTAGE
ABUNDANCE
MISSING

There once was a shortage so sad,
The town couldn’t help but feel bad.
But then came a switch,
And now they’re so rich,
They’re up to their ears in abundance they had! But wait, where’s the missing?

HUMAN
CANINE
FELINE

The canine and feline had a secret wish,
to walk on two legs and live like us,
so they dressed in clothes, trying to deceive,
but all they got were chuckles, hard to believe.

Humans marveled at their quirky attire,
gave them treats and pats, never failing to admire,
though mistaken for humans, for a moment or two,
the canine and feline found joy in the view.

Their wish unfulfilled, yet laughter filled the air,
they realized that being themselves was truly fair,
for the love and joy they brought, as creatures so real,
far outweighed the longing to be what they couldn’t feel.
