Juxtaposition

Opposes all the others

From their point of view

Arguing while suffering

Contrasting views must be heard

Barefoot

Remove shoes and socks

Then walk on the ground barefoot

The earth holds your feet

Feel the connection to earth

Nature’s energy flows deep

My life can’t be beat

I live in pineapple street

A pleasure to meet

The sun’s warmth on my head feels sweet,

Nature’s embrace is so complete

I Like…

His insecurity
His kindness
His creativity
His poems
His humor
His friendship
His dreams
His determination
His competitiveness
His eagerness
His loyalty
His generosity
His stubbornness
His empathy
His stories
His sensitivity
His uniqueness
His thoughtfulness
I like him for who he is
And not for what I think he should be.

Tighten up your belt 

It’s the thriftiest you’ve felt 

Don’t worry you won’t melt

In the end, it will all be heartfelt.

Buckle up and save every dime

Many small bubbles 

Are in this refreshing drink

With sweet tanginess

With orange delightful taste

Don’t hesitate take a drink

Breathe out more than in

Increase CO2 within

Relaxation wins

Let those thoughts and worries 

Disappear into nothing

Fresh buttery bread

Delicious, moist, juicy meat

Satisfying bite

Ketchup, mustard, and mayo

Dill pickles, or relish too…

Dreams can come true, dear

Upon a star, wishes fly

Poetry

Frustrated Soul

Oh, frustrated soul, so full of pain
Bound by thoughts that can’t be tamed
You long for things that can’t be rearranged
But oh, dear one, you must embrace the change
The past, like a heavy weight, you carry
But it’s time to let go, it’s necessary
For life moves on, it never stays the same
And clinging to the past will only bring you shame
The present, a canvas, waiting to be painted
But you’re stuck, feeling so suffocated
By things that can’t be altered, no matter how hard you try
But dear one, don’t you see? It’s time to spread your wings and fly
For change is the only constant in this world
Like a river, it continues to unfurl
And though it may be scary, it’s also beautiful
For it brings new experiences, and lessons crucial
Let go of control, and embrace the unknown
For within it lies opportunities yet to be shown
You’ll find peace in accepting what can’t be changed
And open your heart to a life that’s rearranged
So don’t be frustrated, let go of that pain
For change is not something to be restrained
It’s a journey, a chance to evolve and grow
So embrace it, dear one, and watch your spirit glow
Let go of the past, and open your mind
For the future holds wonders, waiting to be aligned
With the path you were meant to take
Just have faith, and embrace the change, for goodness’ sake.
Dear frustrated soul, it’s time to let go
And trust in the universe, to guide you and show
That change is not something to fear or dread
But something to be embraced, and willingly tread.
So spread your wings, and fly towards the light
Let go of your worries, and take flight
For change, my dear, is the only way
To find true happiness, every single day.

-M.A.D.

Resurrance

In times of doubt, when skies are gray,
Know that brighter moments are on the way.
Though challenges may try to bring you down,
You’ll overcome, and joy will come around.

Three Things Challenge #M776

PANTS
WEARY
SHATTER

Wearing weary pants with a tired seam,
Carrying a burden, like a broken dream.
My spirit feels shattered, frayed and worn,
But still, I carry on, though I feel torn.

Mystery in My Jacket: Missy’s MAD Challenge #001

Oh my! what is this
hidden away in my jacket
I haven’t seen it in ages
what am I going to do with it?

Perhaps it’s a forgotten note
or a trinket with a story to tell
An old photograph or a coin
Lost in time, waiting to be found

Whatever it is, it’s a little mystery
A glimpse into my own history
I’ll savor the moment, take a pause
And appreciate this unexpected cause
