On Edge

A few words and now I am on edge,
Thoughts swirling fast, like leaves on a hedge.
The world feels heavy, shadows creep,
Lost in worries that won’t let me sleep.

A kind smile, a gentle tone,
Can chase away the thoughts I own.
So I breathe deep, let calmness in,
Finding peace where doubts have been.

Step by step, I’ll find my way,
One bright moment can change the day.
A few words spoken can ease the dread,
And lift me up, on joy instead.

Poetry

Resilience

Contrary to your belief,
I am stronger than you think,
still hanging on,
though edges may fray,
each storm makes me blink.

With scars like my armor,
I rise from the fall,
a spirit unbroken,
I stand through it all.

So doubt if you must,
but my heart will not break,
for deep in my being,
I know what’s at stake.

Poetry

Apology

Acknowledging my mistake,
Promising to make it right,
Opening my heart,
Letting go of my pride,
Only seeking forgiveness,
Genuine in my intentions,
Yearning for your understanding.

Windows of the Soul

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.

Increase in Empathy

In a world where chaos seems to reign,
Let’s sow the seeds, let go of the pain.
If we increase our empathy, just a little more,
We’ll find the peace we’ve longed for at our core.

With open hearts and listening ears,
We can soften the violence, diminish the fears.
Each act of kindness, a light shining bright,
Bringing us closer, erasing the night.

So let us embrace the love that we share,
For when we are united, we lighten the air.
Increase your empathy, let compassion be known,
And watch as tranquility flourishes and grows.

Challenges, Poetry

Beyond Physical

You don’t need fists to cast your chains,
For words can echo and leave deep stains.
Actions can wound without a fight,
While shadows linger, stealing light.

No need for physical to leave a scar,
Silent harm can reach so far.
In gentle whispers, pain can lie,
With every word, a soul can sigh.

Uncharted

To the voyage unknown
Is the greatest fear of all.
Not knowing what lies ahead,
Yet growth demands we push on through.

The winds of change may roar and call,
Yet courage within us must stand tall.
Embrace the dark, the thrill, the dread,
For only through storms can we be led.

Can You Tell A Story In…

  • EAVESDROP
  • SPACE

In the quiet burger joint, I could not resist eavesdropping on the next table, their secrets spilling like ketchup, creating a connection despite the vast space between us.

Poetry

A Call for Understanding

Please take a step back, hear my plea,
Not everything revolves around thee.
You’re not always right, take a pause,
Lend me your ear, consider my cause.

I have some knowledge, a thing or two,
Let’s share our thoughts, me and you.
In this conversation, let’s both be wise,
Open your heart, and we can rise.

Until Change Awakens

Life’s a game, not so hot,
A stagnant pace, a tangled plot.
But something shifts, a light breaks through,
Until then, it’s just me and you.

Inner Tempest

Beneath my skin, a torrent brews,
A tempest waiting, longing to choose.
Boiling water, fierce and wild,
A quiet storm in the heart of a child.

Anger rising, no more contained,
A flame igniting, unchained, unfeigned.
Pounding heartbeat, a restless plea,
This raging fire demands to be free.

In silence it simmers, in darkness it dwells,
A thirst for release, like ringing bells.
The rage inside, a primal song,
A call to break free—I’ve waited too long..

Challenges, Poetry, Word of the Day

Breaking the Routine

Every day is the same,
Nothing new, just a frame.
In routines, we find our way,
Yet within, sparks long to play.

Everyday moments softly blend,
Time drifts on, around the bend.
In the silence, dreams may bloom,
Breaking free from this dull room.

MLMM Wordle #426

Your words this week are:
leaf, recess, balance, ditch, nothing, blind, change, beauty, donate, buy, bob, natural

In the leaf-strewn recess of a quiet glen,
I found a balance ‘tween now and then.

A ditch carved by time, where reflections flow,
In the beauty of nature, I let my worries go.

Though blind to the chaos that buzzes around,
I change with the seasons, my peace to be found.

To donate kindness, to buy moments bright,
I bob like a feather in soft morning light.

In the Glow of Phones

Here are this week’s prompts:

  1. Write a post inspired by the word phones.
  2. Write a post in exactly 12 sentences.

Silent whispers through the screen,
Connections made, yet unseen.
Fingers dance on glass so bright,
Worlds apart, we share the light.

Messages sent with just a tap,
Moments captured, the perfect snap.
Ringing echoes fill the air,
Voices linger, everywhere.

In the pocket, in our hands,
Life unfolds through text and plans.
Though we’re close, sometimes alone,
A heartbeat shared through our phones.
