Celebrating a Life Well Lived

While everyone was grieving,
I celebrated the life of the one who left us.
Yes, I cried, but I also remembered
The good times we had,
Laughter like sunlight,
Moments filled with joy.

Each story we shared,
A thread in our tapestry,
Lessons of kindness and grace,
Whispers of love that linger.

So let the world grieve as it might,
I’ll find joy in our shared light,
For in the midst of loss,
I carry their spirit,
A celebration of love, forever bright.

Chasing Stars in Summer’s Light

In summer’s light, we chased the stars,
With laughter echoing, no distant bars.
Secret paths where dreams would soar,
Each moment a treasure, opening doors.

In innocence, we felt so free,
Joy shining bright for all to see.
Though time may steal and we may roam,
Those memories linger, a lasting home.

COCKY
ALLURE
CONFIDENT

Confident you can get any lady,
But your cocky attitude
Does not allure them to you.
Instead of swagger, try a smile,
Let kindness linger for a while.

For true connection, you must see,
It’s more than boasts or bravado, truly.
With humble heart and open mind,
You’ll find the love you seek, refined.

POLLUTE
POISON
PERHAPS

Your mind is like poison,
Don’t pollute the youth with your words.
Check the facts before you speak,
For truth is a treasure often unheard.

Plant seeds of wisdom, let kindness take root,
Your voice can uplift, inspire, or break.
Engage in dialogue, let understanding call,
For the stories we tell shape us, after all.

Whispers of the Night Sky

Here is another collaboration with Carol Anne. Our theme this time was stars. I hope that you enjoy.
MAD

Whispers in the night,
Stars flicker like distant dreams,
Each a silent wish,
Guiding hearts through darkened skies,
Infinite tales in their light.

Beneath the vast sky,
Stars whisper ancient secrets,
Flickering like dreams—
In the stillness of the night,
Hope dances on the cool breeze.

Poetry

Embracing Freedom in Love

In shadows cast by doubt and fear,
She searched for light, her vision clear.
With every tear, she longed to be,
Embraced for simply being free.

Through heartache’s trace, she found her grace,
Her worth not tied to any place.
In laughter shared and quiet ways,
She learned to cherish ordinary days.

When storm clouds fade and dawn breaks bright,
She’ll hold the lesson, let love ignite.
For in each heartbeat, she’ll always see,
That she is loved, and love runs free.

The Value of Patience

Only fools rush in,
Never taking time to think
Of their actions,
Yearning for quick satisfaction.

Chasing fleeting thrills,
Ignoring quiet calls,
While wisdom waits patiently,
In the shadows, it stands tall.

Let’s seek not mere desires,
But embrace the truth with care,
For those who pause and ponder
Find treasures waiting there.

Pages filled with laughter, tears, and dreams,
Each line a whisper, each word it seems.
Seasons change, and so do I,
Through storms and sunshine, I learn to fly.

As I turn the last page, I take a breath,
Embracing each chapter, life and death.
In this book of memories, my soul is entwined,
Each story I’ve told, a piece of me signed.
