“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” —Carl Sagan

Efforts never cease,
Striving towards what’s yet to come,
Trying to succeed.
Takes a lot of your gumption,
and sheer determination…
-MAD/AAA

Simple, life’s essence,
Nourishing both body and soul,
Foundation of meals.

Proud declaration,
Speaking of accomplishment,
Boastful words are shared.
Enjoy all of your success.
Dues paid and you deserve it…
-MAD/AAA

“The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind the scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.” —Steve Furtick

Knowing without thought,
Instinct guiding the actions,
Intuitive feel.
Have faith and trust in your gut.
It hasn’t let you down yet…
-MAD/AAA

Cursing in anger,
Expletive of frustration,
Goddamn it all now.
Son of a biscuit eater
Make harsh moments easier…
-MAD/AAA

Wonderful moments shine bright,
Inspire courage to take flight,
Never give up, hold on tight!

“I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now.” —Edna Mode

In my mind, the thoughts reside,
Hosting echoes, hard to bide.
For years they’ve danced, both dark and bright,
I work each day to find the light.
Rewiring paths, a steady quest,
Though struggles rise, I do my best.
With every dawn, new hope I find,
Improvements bloom within my mind.

Trust shattered in dreams,
A knife hidden in silence,
Wounds cut deep and wide.

In colors and lines, I find respite,
A world of my own, where I take flight.
They say to sell, to share my art,
But doubts creep in, whispering in my heart.
Keychains and prints, a tempting call,
Yet I wonder if I’m ready at all.
My therapist nudges, “Just take that leap,”
But where do I start? The questions run deep.
In each stroke, I chase away the fear,
Creating my haven, a space so dear.
Perhaps one day, I’ll find the way,
To share my passion, come what may.

I
Dream
of you
In the still night
Whispers of love’s glow
Hearts united, forever so
