My heart drops to the pit of my stomach,
With those words you whispered, hope took flight,
All my dreams now feel so platonic,
Fading away into the night.

Nature’s Touch
Nature’s gentle touch
Whispers through the swaying trees,
Sunlight filters down,
Peaceful, tranquil moments pause,
In the breeze, our worries fade.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. –Anais Nin
A Culinary Ode
In the kitchen, the game is on
Poultry roasting, a savory song
With spices and herbs, a feast to create
Excitement sizzles on the dinner plate
But let’s not forget about the beef
Tender and juicy, beyond belief
Grilled to perfection, a flavorful delight
A meal so divine, it’s love at first bite
The Hold
Make sure your grip is tight.
Don’t let go, for you don’t know what lies below.
Beneath the shadows, secrets loom,
A world unseen, where echoes bloom.
With every heartbeat, a whisper calls,
Of hidden depths and ancient walls.
Thread carefully, let caution steer,
For in the darkness, doubt may leer.
The winds may howl, the tides may shift,
Yet in your hands, you hold the gift.
A chance to soar, a chance to fall,
But fear not the plunge, just heed the call.
So take a breath, embrace the sky,
With every moment, let your spirit fly.
Hold on tight, the journey’s begun,
With dreams as your compass, you’ll find the sun.

Do what you can, where you are, with what you have. –Teddy Roosevelt
Embracing My Authentic Journey
Cherishing who I am
Owning my truth
Moving at my pace
Perfectly imperfect
Accepting all parts
Seeing my worth
Staying authentic
Beyond Physical
You don’t need fists to cast your chains,
For words can echo and leave deep stains.
Actions can wound without a fight,
While shadows linger, stealing light.
No need for physical to leave a scar,
Silent harm can reach so far.
In gentle whispers, pain can lie,
With every word, a soul can sigh.

“We must reach out our hand in friendship and dignity, both to those who would befriend us and those who would be our enemy.” —Arthur Ashe
A Friend’s Plea
Please consider my feelings,
If we are truly friends,
Things cannot continue this way,
With silence that transcends.
Our laughter used to echo,
In the warmth of shared delight,
But now a shadow lingers,
Where once there was pure light.
I long for honest moments,
For trust to fill the space,
To mend the fraying bond we share,
And restore our friendship’s grace.
So let us speak the truth now,
No more fear or disguise,
For in the heart of friendship,
The strongest love always lies.

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.” ―Martha Graham
Wonders Within
Your three words today are:
BOTTLE
BUNG
CORK
In a bottle, dreams reside,
Underneath a wavy tide.
A bung seals secrets held so tight,
Whispers of the stars at night.
Cork pops forth, a joyful sound,
Unveiling tales that leap and bound.
Each drop a journey, rich and bold,
In the bottle, stories told.
Tired of Deceit
I am tired of all the lies and deceit,
Every promise broken, never complete.
Trust has faded, like a setting sun,
What was once bright, now feels overrun.
Words like whispers, lost in the air,
Secrets hidden, it’s hard to care.
I seek the truth, clear and bright,
To find my way back to the light.
No more shadows, no more pain,
I long for honesty, freedom to gain.
Let love be real, let kindness flow,
In a world where the truth can grow.
Quote for September 12, 2025
A Path to Change
See the errors of your ways,
You can always change.
Life’s a book with endless pages,
Turn them, rearrange.
In shadows, doubt may linger,
But hope can light the way.
Embrace the chance to grow,
Don’t let fear hold sway.
With each new dawn’s soft whisper,
A canvas fresh and bright,
Paint your dreams with courage,
Step boldly into light.
Though storms may rage around you,
And paths seem hard to find,
Remember every moment,
Is a chance to redefine.
So take a breath, let go of past,
With every step you take,
You’re not just walking forward,
You’re weaving your own fate.
