A place to show my work
Bursting waves of sound and light,
Across the skies, a dazzling sight.
Rivers of energy flow and collide,
Resilience found, with each surge and tide.
Admiration swells, as forces unite,
Galvanizing hearts in the midst of the fight.
Endless strength, as passions engage.
A banana went out for a stroll,
In a jacket that brightened its soul.
But it slipped on a peel,
And said with great zeal,
“I still make a great smoothie, I’m whole!”
Smiling through pain
Energy fades away
Hold on, dear friend
Until brighter days
In my mind, a journey unfolds,
A tale of warmth or fright it holds.
By day and night, a mystery clear,
With joy and strength, or doubt and fear.
In bright moments, confidence glows,
While shadows of doubt creep in, it shows.
Two paths I tread, one calm, one wild,
A journey of hearts, both fierce and mild.
I once found an enchanted upper,
That turned my cat into a playful cur.
But when I drank from the mystical cup,
I accidentally cast a feline curse.
Now my kitty’s stuck in a silly spin,
Chasing tails with a mischievous grin.
I wish I could reverse this furry curse,
And return my pet to its normal purr.
I see some standing tall and proud,
Believing they’re better, speaking loud.
I’m opposed to such a view,
For kindness shines in me and you.
With heads held high, they turn away,
Ignoring love’s sweet, gentle sway.
In every heart, we share a song,
In unity, we all belong.
Let’s lift each other, hand in hand,
Together strong, together stand.
In this wide world of different faces,
True strength comes from our warm embraces.
I dream of a world,
Where every soul is equal,
Harmony and peace.
But alas, it’s not,
Hatred brews in the shadows,
Divides us so deep.
Differences arise,
People turn against each other,
Hearts closed, vision blurred.
I don’t see the change,
Hope flickers like a small flame,
Yet still, I hold on.
The serene scene makes me want to wander
To see the beauty of the world and ponder
The gentle breeze whispers secrets untold,
As nature’s wonders unfold, bright and bold.
Feet crunching along as they walk the path
Hoping time does not get cut in half
For there are many wonders yet to be seen,
In the whispers of dreams that dance in between.
At a checkpoint, I now stand,
With memories gathered like grains of sand.
The past, though etched in every line,
Is a tale I’m ready to redefine.
Each moment’s weight begins to lift,
I seek the present, a precious gift.
Letting go of shadows that linger near,
I embrace the dawn, the path is clear.
What comes next is mine to choose,
A canvas wide, no fear to lose.
With every step, I feel the sun,
A journey anew has just begun.
So here I am, with open heart,
In this chapter, I play my part.
The past behind me, I take a breath,
In living fully, I conquer death.
In chaos, I find my way,
With pencil and music, I sway.
Lines on paper, thoughts set free,
A moment of peace, just for me.
Nature’s whispers, soft and true,
Joshua’s embrace, skies so blue.
A park bench calls, the world unfolds,
In quiet moments, my heart consoled.
Learning to pause, a tender art,
Breathing in calm, it soothes my heart.
In stillness, I gather, I rise above,
Finding my center, wrapped in love.
In days of old, before the screens,
We sought our truth in books and dreams.
With library shelves, we’d roam and search,
In every nook, our knowledge would perch.
With patience strong, we’d take our time,
Each page we turned, a mountain to climb.
Dictionaries thick, we learned to read,
Valuable skills were planted as seed.
No instant answers at our fingers’ touch,
Yet every moment felt so much.
Life was slower, yet rich and bright,
A different world, full of delight.
Oh Joshua Tree, it has been a spell
I need to visit soon, I can already tell
How I have missed you, under the sky so free
And the things I can see, make my soul flee
In the quiet of the night,
Fears creep in, a bubbling fright.
Thoughts of being all alone,
Without a friend, a heart, a home.
Life feels tough, the path unclear,
A helping hand can calm my fear.
A partner’s voice, a family’s care,
Brings warmth and love, a bond so rare.
With every day, I take a step,
Facing doubts, I won’t forget.
I’ll find the strength to stand up tall,
For in my heart, love conquers all.
There once was a time of routine,
Where attending meant being seen.
–
But in this new age,
We sit on a virtual stage,
With faces on screens that are clean.
–
No longer do we gather in crowds,
Or walk through busy city ploughed.
–
Our meetings are online,
A new way to align,
But oh, how we miss the real sounds.
–
We now click the link to attend,
A virtual world we must blend.
–
No handshakes or hugs,
Just tiny camera shrugs,
Oh, how we long for the end.
–
We see each other through pixels,
But our connection is still critical.
–
Though it may not feel right,
It’s our reality in sight,
As we navigate this new ritual.
–
So let’s raise a glass to the screen,
For it’s the only way we can convene.
–
But soon we’ll reunite,
In person, it’ll be right,
Until then, virtual will reign supreme.
The Grim Reaper is a sight to see,
With cloak and scythe, as tall as can be.
He roams around with a wicked grin,
But don’t worry, he’s just here to win!
With a laugh that sends shivers down your spine,
He’s not as scary as he seems, most of the time.
So if you meet him, don’t let out a peep,
He’s just doing his job, so let him reap!
