what we see

i travel
with grace
in the shell
that holds me,
my gracious soul

my divine
and beautiful body
carries me

within this world
of decorative bliss
eternal trees
and light that shines
to bless us
to feed our plants
that feed us

love to fill our hearts
books to feed our souls

so full with everything
that we allow ourselves to see

twisted chick #5

So, I was going through some poetry I wrote in my 20's - here is 1

Twisted Chick 5

it's a wonder
you're still alive
you can dance
still can jive
one more line
you might die
one more hit
you will fly
living only
to get high
life is one
twisted lie
good bye
your soul is dead
before 25
it's a wonder
you're still alive

bells

signal to switch classes

adorn the cat so it
won't catch the mouse

a jolly bracelet that
dangles from her wrist

entwined in a young girl's
delicate ringlets - her mom
can always find her

her daughter that giggles
and chases the cat
that is still trying
to catch the mouse

in September, she will start school

Bells

beauty part 2 or 3

beauty is

being, loving yourself

being hurt and feeling beautiful anyway

the arms of those who hug us,
to make our hurt melt away
like butter on a sunny day

the smile of child
whose fleeting troubles
have just been solved
my mom's hug

to know what bothers you now
will barely be a thought in five
years

letting go of the things that
weigh you down

being surprised at your lightness

until floating is normal

beautiful life

beauty is

open to love,
brave and kind

a person that smiles
and shares cookies

beauty
grows inside you
and
learns something new
like how to dance
or to sing
or anything

beautiful is

being who you expect
yourself to be

being the person you want
to see again tomorrow
because you like her

the raindrops' dance

next to me you shall
be sheltered, lost in the song
of the raindrops' dance

kindness a rainbow
the color of our daydream
of love and chance

our words a window
into the seat of the storm
and then silence

two friends knowing
no words need be said
the sun rises

earth affirmation

at one with this earth
i breathe in only goodness
and radiate light

i step with grace
upon fertile ground
i am nurtured by the wind's sound

the sky and its birds
sing to me a joyous life
that is always near

when darkness threatens
a tumultuous storm
i shroud my soul's soft form

as it always does
it passes promptly by
leaving a steady sky
