“I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now.” —Edna Mode
Quote for November 4,2025
Whispers of Change
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.
Betrayal
Trust shattered in dreams,
A knife hidden in silence,
Wounds cut deep and wide.
One Passion
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
I
Dream
of you
In the still night
Whispers of love’s glow
Hearts united, forever so

Snap, Crackle, Pop
Your three words today are:
SNAP
CRACKLE
POP
Snap, Crackle, pop and you don’t stop,
Morning’s here, let the world hop.
Cereal crunch and milk so cold,
A delightful breakfast tale unfolds.
Taste the magic, bite by bite,
Each little puff, a morning delight.
With every crunch, our spirits rise,
A joyful start, beneath the skies.
Snap, Crackle, pop, the day’s begun,
Adventures await, oh what fun!
So fill your bowl, take a seat,
Life’s simple pleasures are oh so sweet.
Graceful Ribbons
Ribbons in the wind,
Graceful arcs and loops that bind,
Gifts wrapped in beauty.
Whispers of color dance and sway,
Tales of joy in bright array,
Nature’s embellishments at play.
Appearance
Now you make an appearance,
Where were you when I needed you the most?
In shadows deep, where silence sings,
I wandered alone, a desolate ghost.
Each echo of laughter, a bittersweet rhyme,
The moments we shared now drift far away.
I reached for your hand through the barriers of time,
But you turned a blind eye, lost in the fray.
I gathered my courage, I built up my dreams,
But storms rolled in, and they tore me apart.
Now you’re here with your comforting gleams,
Yet I’m left to mend this once-fractured heart.
Still, hope flickers like candles in night,
Perhaps we can stitch what was worn and frayed.
With patience and kindness, let’s set things right,
In the warmth of your presence, I won’t be afraid.
So linger a while, let shadows disperse,
Together, we’ll find the light in the dark.
In a world full of questions, in this universe,
Your return is the spark that ignites a new arc.

Dance of Chaos
Manic, crazy, chaos, oh my,
In this wild world, we’ll give it a try.
Embracing the frenzy, we’ll dance through the night,
Letting go of worries, feeling the delight.
The stars above shimmer, igniting our souls,
With laughter and love, we’ll break all the molds.
In the whirlwind of life, we’ll find our own way,
Together we’ll shine, come what may.
A Taste of Togetherness
Simmering, bubbling,
Creating comfort and delight,
Magic in one pot,
A dance of flavors, a savory sight.
Whispers of spices, aromas embrace,
Warmth of the hearth, a cozy place,
A gathering of hearts around the flame,
In every spoonful, love is the game.
Navigating Darkness
Had therapy today,
Started off rough but ended better.
Black cloud that was hanging over my head
Not fully gone away but is less.
Obtained skills to help through the struggle.
I learned I need to let the negative thoughts float away.
Sometimes the path is dark and unclear,
But a glimmer of hope appears near.
Therapy brings light and a guiding hand,
Easing the burden, helping me stand.
The black cloud may linger, but I’ll find my way,
Learning to let the negative thoughts float away.
