Which way to go
Right left, I never know
A decision needs to be made
Right left

The Itch That Wouldn’t Quit
Your three words today are:
HAIRLINE
ITCH
SPOT
In a hairline so fine, what a sight,
An itch made me squirm day and night.
On a spot that I found,
It danced all around,
Now I’m scratching with all of my might!
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.
Watching Eyes
Eyes are watching
Every move that you make
Or are they
Or is it
Your imagination playing tricks again
To scare you
Making you believe
That you are being judged constantly
What’s the truth?

Bold Signature
There once was a man named John Hancock,
Whose signature made quite a shock.
With a flourish so wide,
In history, he’d bide,
A bold patriot on the clock!
Between Heart and Mind
The therapist says to mingle and make friends,
Your heart knows that’s true, but your mind just pretends.
It whispers of judgment, the fears that it sends,
A battle within as your spirit contends.
Each laugh feels like armor, but doubt weighs you down,
In a room full of faces, you wear a frown crown.
What if they see you, the cracks and the flaws?
What if connection is lost in the pause?
But deep in your heart, there’s a spark seeking light,
A yearning for warmth in the coldness of night.
With courage, step forward, let go of the chains,
Embrace the uncertain; it’s where freedom gains.
For friendship’s a garden that flourishes slow,
With patience and kindness, its beauty will grow.
So heed the soft whisper that pushes you near,
For the joy of connection can banish all fear.
Cleansing
Raindrops dance and fall,
Cleansing the earth with each drop,
Life reborn anew.
Whispers of the storm outside,
Nature’s lullaby begins.
Whispers of Truth
Your three words today are:
PROVE
FALSEHOOD
BLATANT
In a world where truth can often move,
Amidst the shadows, we strive to prove,
That what is real shines bright and clear,
While falsehood lurks, a whispering fear.
With blatant lies that weave and spin,
They cloak the light, inviting sin,
Yet through the darkness, hope takes flight,
For hearts united can restore the light.
So stand we strong against the tide,
With courage bold, we won’t divide,
For in our quest, we’ll always find,
A truth that echoes in the mind.
Pit of Lost Dreams
My heart drops to the pit of my stomach,
With those words you whispered, hope took flight,
All my dreams now feel so platonic,
Fading away into the night.
Nature’s Touch
Nature’s gentle touch
Whispers through the swaying trees,
Sunlight filters down,
Peaceful, tranquil moments pause,
In the breeze, our worries fade.
A Culinary Ode
In the kitchen, the game is on
Poultry roasting, a savory song
With spices and herbs, a feast to create
Excitement sizzles on the dinner plate
But let’s not forget about the beef
Tender and juicy, beyond belief
Grilled to perfection, a flavorful delight
A meal so divine, it’s love at first bite
The Hold
Make sure your grip is tight.
Don’t let go, for you don’t know what lies below.
Beneath the shadows, secrets loom,
A world unseen, where echoes bloom.
With every heartbeat, a whisper calls,
Of hidden depths and ancient walls.
Thread carefully, let caution steer,
For in the darkness, doubt may leer.
The winds may howl, the tides may shift,
Yet in your hands, you hold the gift.
A chance to soar, a chance to fall,
But fear not the plunge, just heed the call.
So take a breath, embrace the sky,
With every moment, let your spirit fly.
Hold on tight, the journey’s begun,
With dreams as your compass, you’ll find the sun.
Embracing My Authentic Journey
Cherishing who I am
Owning my truth
Moving at my pace
Perfectly imperfect
Accepting all parts
Seeing my worth
Staying authentic
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.
A Friend’s Plea
Please consider my feelings,
If we are truly friends,
Things cannot continue this way,
With silence that transcends.
Our laughter used to echo,
In the warmth of shared delight,
But now a shadow lingers,
Where once there was pure light.
I long for honest moments,
For trust to fill the space,
To mend the fraying bond we share,
And restore our friendship’s grace.
So let us speak the truth now,
No more fear or disguise,
For in the heart of friendship,
The strongest love always lies.
