Daisies dance in warm sunlight
Nature’s quilt unfolds
Greeted by deafened silence
With only the wind speaking…

A place to show my work

Wide fields kiss the sky
Daisies dance in warm sunlight
Nature’s quilt unfolds
Greeted by deafened silence
With only the wind speaking…

Drippity drop, off to trot,
Skipping puddles, lost in thought.
Nowhere in sight, yet off to seek,
Wandering dreams, mild and meek.
–
Drippity drop, whispers grow,
Patterns in the rain that only I know.
What to do? I do not say—
Drippity drop, and I’m swept away.

In the quiet moments, take a part,
And listen closely to your heart.
Your mind may wander, restless and free,
But it often craves chaos, can’t you see?
Thoughts like storms may swirl and spin,
Breeding doubts and worries deep within.
Yet your heart whispers, soft and clear,
Guiding you gently, drawing you near.
When confusion reigns and chaos calls,
Let your heart’s truth break down the walls.
It knows the way, through joy and strife,
Leading you toward a peaceful life.
So pause, reflect, let feelings start,
And always trust the words of your heart.
For in its depth, you’ll find what’s right,
A shining path, your guiding light.

A twinkling star bright at night.
Where everyone makes their wishes.
So they do not end up in plight
Deeply wanting all the riches
Whispered hopes in silent ambition
A guiding light for all who dream.
In the dark, I silently wish.
As the moon casts its silver gleam.

Sally the Sun wanted some fun,
She dreamed of a bright, merry run.
With her rays all aglow,
She’d outpace the day’s flow,
Chasing light ’til the day was all done.

A lonely leaf
drifts away
slowly

Peek-a-boo, I see you
No need to hide who you are
I know, and I like you the way you are
So come out and play with me,
Together we’ll laugh and roam free,
With smiles that shine just like the stars,
Let’s share our joy, no matter how far.

Be still my beating heart for love is surely near,
Someone just for you, to hold you close and dear.
A gentle touch, a laughing smile,
Together we can walk a while.

Journey through the night
To reach the wish of your heart.
Whispers in the stars

In every street, her passion found,
The dancer twirls, the world around.
With graceful leaps, her spirit soars,
A dance that echoes, forever endures.
In moonlit nights and sunny rays,
You’ll find her joy in endless plays.
With every step, she paints the air,
A love for dance, beyond compare.

Some days, I can brush my thoughts aside,
But others, they linger, refusing to hide.
Negative whispers echo, a relentless refrain,
Looping through my mind like a relentless chain.
I'm not good enough for anyone to truly like me.
People only stick around for what they can gain from me.
I'm too boring; that's why friends drift away.
I have to change who I am to be liked.
I always end up disappointed by broken promises.
My need for acceptance is pathetic.
No one really understands or sees the real me.
I don't deserve love or happiness.
I fail to meet the expectations of those around me.
I'll always be alone and unimportant.
I'll never find someone who truly values me.
I will always struggle to connect with others.
My efforts never lead to any meaningful relationships.
I am constantly let down by others.
I am not worthy of friendship or love.
Most days, I know that this is not true,
But at times, it is hard to fight the thoughts,
And then I start to believe them.
Therapy has been my guiding light;
I’ve learned skills to cope and fight.
Though they help me more often than not,
Negative thoughts still creep in and cloud my thoughts.
Friends and family lend a hand,
Yet only a few truly understand.
Their efforts, though kind, sometimes fall short,
More hindrance than help in the emotional sport.
Here I stand, pushing through,
Some days weigh heavy, it’s true.
In the battle with my mind,
I fight hard, but peace is hard to find.
Yet I promise I will rise anew,
Just a little time, and I’ll break through.
Though the struggle might seem long,
I’ll find my strength and carry on.

Yikes! It’s time to rise and shine,
Can’t be late for this event so fine.
With a hurried leap,
Out of bed, I sweep,
Ready to greet the day’s grand design!

Each day I rise with courage strong,
Facing the world, where I belong.
Through ups and downs, I stand tall,
Braving the moments, I won’t fall.
With every challenge, I find my way,
Fighting through colors of night and day.
Courage within, like a light so bright,
Guiding me forward, through every fight.

Hot
Sun
blazing
down on us
Sweat is dripping down.
We find shade to escape the heat.

Silent shadows fall,
Whispers of hope now faded,
Despair’s heavy breath.
