A place to show my work
Still
searching for the light,
Still
fighting through the doubt,
Still
carrying this hope,
Bringing dreams about.
Still
holding onto visions,
Still
yearning for the truth,
Still
believing in the future,
As I embrace my youth.
Still
finding my own way,
Still
learning how to be,
Still
the heart that craves connection,
In this journey, I am free.
I desire for closeness,
Does not have to be a lover,
A gentle touch, a whispered truth,
In the silence we can uncover.
A shared laugh in the fading light,
Moments wrapped in warmth’s embrace,
Friendship deep as a starry night,
In the company, we find our place.
Conversations that flow like streams,
Eyes that catch and hold the gaze,
In simple things, we find our dreams,
A bond that shifts through time’s maze.
So let us walk this life together,
Through every joy and every test,
In the tapestry of now and forever,
It’s the closeness that makes us blessed.
“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is a quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.'” —Mary Anne Radmacher
SHUDDER
STUTTER
SPLUTTER
In shadows deep, where whispers shudder,
Echoes dance, as thoughts begin to stutter.
A breeze sweeps through, the leaves a-splutter,
Carrying secrets that the night can utter.
Moonlight glimmers on the waters’ face,
Each ripple a story, time can’t erase.
The forest sighs, the stars commence to flutter,
In this quiet realm, the heart starts to mutter.
Yet still, there’s beauty in the faintest glimmer,
As darkness wraps around, the hopes grow slimmer.
But in the stillness, even fears may sputter,
Finding peace in silence, where shadows scatter.
FOOT
YARD
MILE
In a yard where dreams are sown,
With flowers bursting, colors grown,
A footstep echoes, soft and light,
As whispers dance beneath the night.
A mile away, the stars alight,
Guiding hearts through darkened plight,
Each step a journey, vast and grand,
With hope and courage, hand in hand.
So tread the path with faith anew,
With every footfall, life will ensue.
In the yard of time, we’ll plant our fate,
And walk each mile with love, not hate.

Your challenge for this week
“Do not wait for the perfect time and place to enter, for you are already onstage.” —Unknown
Fury in the wind,
Life’s unpredictability,
A whirlwind unfolds.
Lilly longed for friends,
For she had always faced taunts.
In a world that felt so cold,
She sought warmth and kindness to hold.
Together they will create a bond that never ends.
The silence in your words
tells me more than you can ever say.
In the quiet depths, emotions swirl,
A hidden truth beneath the fray.
An excellent poem that is also a reminder to us all.
“If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.” ―Jim Rohn
Screws, tacks, and nails, oh my!
In the workshop, they all do lie.
The screw got twisted and turned around,
The tack got stuck but didn’t make a sound.
And the nail, oh the nail, so strong and stout,
It held it all together without a doubt.
With hammers clanging and pliers in hand,
Each tool at the ready, we make our stand.
Crafting and building, with teamwork we strive,
Creating new wonders, our spirits alive
Loyal friend, purest,
Love and comfort, warm and true,
Heart’s connection strong.
In laughter’s embrace, we find our way,
Through shadows and light, together we stay,
In every moment, precious and rare,
A bond unbroken, beyond compare.
In a realm of chill and ice,
Olaf the snowman rolls the dice.
With a joyful grin and a nose of orange,
He navigates through ice, never at a loss.
He cherishes warm hugs and sunny skies,
Yet in the heat, he never sighs.
Olaf’s heart is kind and bright,
Bringing joy to all in sight.
