Flying Free

M.A.D. Works

In the open sky,
A kite flying free and high,
Dancing with the wind.

Graceful and serene,
It soars above the treetops,
A colorful dream.

Tugging at the string,
I feel its energy,
Connecting us both.

The sun shining bright,
I watch as it dips and dives,
In joyful delight.

A symbol of peace,
Floating on the breeze so light,
Bringing me release.

In this moment, I,
Am one with nature’s beauty,
And the kite up high.

With each gentle tug,
I guide it through the sky blue,
A dance of pure love.

The world fades away,
As I lose myself in flight,
Soaring high today.

Oh, kite flying free,
You bring me such joy and peace,
My heart dances with glee.

Embracing the sky,
In unity with all things,
A kite flying high.

The Cost of Vanity

M.A.D. Works
vain

Try not to be vain,
It will get you nowhere,
A heart wrapped in mirrors,
Reflecting only despair.

In the glow of false beauty,
You may dance, you may shine,
But in the silence of shadows,
You’ll find no hand to entwine.

With each boastful echo,
You build walls made of pride,
Cutting ties with the true ones,
Leaving love cast aside.

So cherish the simple,
Valleys deep and wide,
For in humility’s embrace,
True joy cannot hide.

Seek not the fleeting glory,
Let kindness be your guide,
In a world that’s ever-changing,
It’s love that will abide.

Your three words today are:

HAIRLINE
ITCH
SPOT

In a hairline so fine, what a sight,
An itch made me squirm day and night.
On a spot that I found,
It danced all around,
Now I’m scratching with all of my might!

Increase in Empathy

M.A.D. Works
increase

In a world where chaos seems to reign,
Let’s sow the seeds, let go of the pain.
If we increase our empathy, just a little more,
We’ll find the peace we’ve longed for at our core.

With open hearts and listening ears,
We can soften the violence, diminish the fears.
Each act of kindness, a light shining bright,
Bringing us closer, erasing the night.

So let us embrace the love that we share,
For when we are united, we lighten the air.
Increase your empathy, let compassion be known,
And watch as tranquility flourishes and grows.

Watching Eyes

M.A.D. Works

Eyes are watching
Every move that you make
Or are they

Or is it
Your imagination playing tricks again
To scare you

Making you believe
That you are being judged constantly
What’s the truth?

Bold Signature

M.A.D. Works

There once was a man named John Hancock,
Whose signature made quite a shock.
With a flourish so wide,
In history, he’d bide,
A bold patriot on the clock!

Between Heart and Mind

M.A.D. Works
RDP Wednesday: MINGLE

The therapist says to mingle and make friends,
Your heart knows that’s true, but your mind just pretends.
It whispers of judgment, the fears that it sends,
A battle within as your spirit contends.

Each laugh feels like armor, but doubt weighs you down,
In a room full of faces, you wear a frown crown.
What if they see you, the cracks and the flaws?
What if connection is lost in the pause?

But deep in your heart, there’s a spark seeking light,
A yearning for warmth in the coldness of night.
With courage, step forward, let go of the chains,
Embrace the uncertain; it’s where freedom gains.

For friendship’s a garden that flourishes slow,
With patience and kindness, its beauty will grow.
So heed the soft whisper that pushes you near,
For the joy of connection can banish all fear.

Cleansing

M.A.D. Works

Raindrops dance and fall,
Cleansing the earth with each drop,
Life reborn anew.
Whispers of the storm outside,
Nature’s lullaby begins.

Whispers of Truth

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM177

Your three words today are:
PROVE
FALSEHOOD
BLATANT

In a world where truth can often move,
Amidst the shadows, we strive to prove,
That what is real shines bright and clear,
While falsehood lurks, a whispering fear.

With blatant lies that weave and spin,
They cloak the light, inviting sin,
Yet through the darkness, hope takes flight,
For hearts united can restore the light.

So stand we strong against the tide,
With courage bold, we won’t divide,
For in our quest, we’ll always find,
A truth that echoes in the mind.
