Bothered by the infest of thoughts
A nuisance that never seems to fade
Chasing peace, but it cannot be caught
These worries, in my mind, have made a trade

Infesting Thoughts
Author: M.A.D. Works
Real Truth
Let’s be real and true,
Nature’s whispers in the breeze,
Moments meant for you.
Solitary Moments
Solitary moments stretch into eternity,
As I yearn for a connection, a sense of fraternity,
Kept away from the laughter and the cheer,
I seek solace in the silence, holding my dear.

Mindful Moment
Did you know ironing could be a mindfulness practice? Focus on the weight of an iron as you extend your arm back and forth and notice how the fabric changes as you iron out the wrinkles. Stay present, and when your mind wanders, use your senses to come back to the moment

Soft Notes
Soft notes fill the air,
Nurtured dreams in sleepy eyes,
Peaceful nights await.
The Fear
Overcrowded places.
Bring out my anxiety.
Remember to breathe.
Don’t let it overwhelm you.
Just be brave and keep going…

Settle the Knight
Oh, once there was a knight named Settle,
Whose armor was quite shiny and metal.
In the jousting ring, he aimed for gold,
But alas, his skills were not that bold.
He clashed and clanged with all his might,
But always ended up with bronze in sight.
He’d hang his head, feeling quite glum,
While the crowd would cheer for the number one.
So Settle the knight, so full of grace,
Would polish his bronze with a sad embrace,
And though he aimed for the highest throne,
Bronze was the metal he made his own.

The Beauty of Chaos
Tess made a mess, oh what a sight,
Paint on the walls, and glitter so bright.
She twirled and she danced, with laughter and cheer,
Artistic expressions, without any fear.
Her crayons went flying, her papers were strewn,
A masterpiece born by the light of the moon.
Though chaos surrounded, her joy couldn’t wane,
In the heart of the clutter, creativity reigned.
So let her make messes, for this is the way,
To learn and to grow, to dream and to play.
For in every spill and each smudge on the ground,
The beauty of childhood in chaos is found.
