New Season Poem
As I ascend into a new season, I must not look back. For what’s ahead of me is too sweet to give back.
I am she…
I am not a shadow, nor a second option
My voice may be quiet to most but I am she
To the public eye she is a fly on the wall
Watching calmly from the sidelines…waiting for her moment to shine
She sits patiently waiting to be heard.
Days pass, months pass, years pass.
Until one day, she looks at herself hard in the mirror, ways few have when looking into her soul.
Turns around and realizes that she is the person she has been waiting for.
Braver than most, stronger than most see. She is I AND I am ME.
As I turn off all the outside noise.
I sit back and rejoice!
I feel at peace.
You may ask what is peace?
It is silent, still. It doesn’t bother with anything more than it is.
Peace isn’t nothing it’s something.
As I breathe in and out, I let go of yesterday and today’s problems from my lips.
If peace is a drink I may want another sip.
My mind shuts down all its negative thoughts.
I’m here in the now. Not in the future/past.
Opening my eyes I see the beauty all around me. I’ve never seen anything like it before.
I get up, walk towards a light, hearing a voice saying “Welcome Home.”
Behind the screen
We look at ourselves in the mirror
Is there something we are trying to see
Is there a difference between you and me?
I love you, I tell myself, but what exactly do I mean?
I don’t know who I’m speaking to behind the other screen.
I fall, I rise
I feel like I’m drowning.
Can someone save me from what’s happening? I allow myself to descend.
Once I hit rock bottom, I rise up again. Up and down, running in circles, happens to be life. When will the pathway ever be right?
I start to learn that there’s no straight pathway. I endure and led God lead me.
Through his guidance, love, and support.
I conquer all. I’m much stronger now when I fall.
The World
As my wings expand
I soar down to the forbidden land
A place where no one wants to go
Why did I ever leave home?
It was so peaceful and serene
Now I’m exposed to everything
Sin, lies, and horrible things.
How will I find the good in anything?
I decide to look deeply within myself
There’s the good with God’s help… I find peace and serenity
In the forbidden land that isn’t so heavenly
