Precise, holding fast,

Stitching fabric and story,

Securing our world

Making some sense of it all 

Can seem like a fool’s errand…

Nature’s sharp embrace,

Talons grasp with fierce control,

Survival’s strong hold

Grips quite tightly as they hunt

All hinges in their success…

Balancing act, light,

Softly touching the earth’s floor,

Dancers’ silent grace

Like swans in a glassy lake

Gentle movements as they glide…

Forming fragile melodies 

And many delicate chords…

ACCEPTANCE
REJECTION
DISAPPOINTED

In life’s winding road, we seek acceptance,
Hoping for love and inner peace,
But faced with rejection, we feel the sting,
Leaving us disappointed, searching for release.

The Man With a Heart of Gold


A man with a heart of gold
Everyone who meets him, their hearts unfold
A smile that lights up the darkest room
With him around, there’s never any gloom

His determination, an inspiring sight
No challenge too big, he’ll take it on
With him by your side, you’ll never feel alone

His love for life, infectious and true
He’ll do anything for the people he knew
A friend to all, he’ll lend an ear
His advice, always sincere

So here’s to a man like no other
May his light continue to shine forever
In our hearts, he’ll always stay
A man in every single way.

My Name

Where did your name come from?

When my mom was young, she watched Little House on the Prairie and absolutely fell in love with it. The heartfelt stories and strong characters made a lasting impression on her. She was particularly taken with the actresses Melissa Gilbert and Melissa Sue Anderson, who portrayed the characters of Laura and Mary Ingalls. So, when it came time to choose a name for me, she decided to use the names of these two actresses.

Motivate

Daily writing prompt
What motivates you?

I find having a few close friends really gives me a boost. They’re always there for me, whether I’m going after my goals or dealing with tough times. We cheer each other on, celebrate when things go well, and create a safe place for talking about worries. Their upbeat attitude and strong belief in me keep me going, even when times are hard. Knowing they support me gives me the courage and confidence to chase after my dreams with excitement.

Inhuman snarls, growl

Hungering for flesh and blood

Who will it strike next

Darkness falls, fear fills the air

Eyes gleam in the night’s embrace…

Poetry

Nonchalant Breeze

In a nonchalant world, I stroll with ease,
Carefree and light as a breeze.
Sunsets come and troubles go,
Nonchalant, embracing the flow.
