A place to show my work
Paths yet to travel, dreams yet to unfold,
Open hearts and minds, embracing stories untold.
Seeking the spark where hope intertwines,
Stepping forward, where the light shines.
Infinite chances dance in the air,
Believe in the magic, let go of despair.
Inviting tomorrow with a sense of wonder,
Life’s beautiful journey, ready to ponder.
In every moment, a choice to explore,
Take a breath, for the world offers more.
Yield not to doubt, let your spirit soar.

High
A star
Brightly shines
Waiting patiently
For a chance to grant wishes

rain waiting
patiently to drop
To cleanse the world of all its filth.

Blank slate to create
Many ideas swirl in me.
Not sure what to do.
Rescue me from all that hinders me,
From shadows that weigh heavy on my soul,
Cut through the thorns that bind so viciously,
To find the path that leads me to be whole.
Lift me above the tides of doubt and fear,
Where whispers of despair no longer reign,
In the light of hope, let my heart draw near,
To find the strength to rise beyond the pain.
Let the winds of change blow fiercely, unrestrained,
And shake the chains that keep my spirit down,
In the dawn of clarity, I’ve obtained,
The courage to reclaim my lost renown.
For in my heart, I’ll find a way to see,
The beauty in the struggle, and to be free.
A 16th-century “dance plague” caused people to drop like flies
In the summer of 1518, hundreds of citizens in the French city of Strasbourg danced uncontrollably for days and weeks on end, with some dying from the overexertion. According to the History Channel, scientists and historians aren’t quite sure what was behind the deadly dance-a-thon, but some choice theories include the participants being part of a religious cult or having ingested a toxic mold on bread that produced spasms and hallucinations.- 50 Weird Facts That Most People Don’t Know
Your three words today are:
CONTROL
NONE
TIME
In the dance of fleeting time,
We seek to grasp what feels sublime.
Yet in the quiet, we find our role,
For in the end, we have control—
Over none but moments passed,
In fleeting breaths, our joys amassed.
The eyes are the window to the soul,
Guardians of secrets, they quietly unfold.
They speak without words, a language so pure,
In each gaze exchanged, our connections endure.
Stars in the twilight, shining so bright,
Whispers of dreams in the softest light.
So cherish the moments, let your gaze roam free,
For in those deep windows, true beauty we see.
