Fresh Starts to Unexplored Paths
New day month to start fresh
New day to truly explore
Explore unchartered paths
Paths that hold new adventurous ways
Ways to grow through each winding road
Ways for each to test their strength
Strength that comes from surviving falls
Strength of knowing who we are inside
Inside our souls lies the hidden key
Inside our hearts we carry the light
Light that shines when intentions are pure
Light that can see us through the darkness
Darkness can grab a hold so tight
Darkness blurs our days and nights
Nights where loneliness eats at the core
Nights that leave us praying for warmth
Warmth from a simple human touch
Warmth of a loving embrace
Embrace from arms strong and true
Embrace that radiates the purest love
Love we all secretly long for
Love that carries us through rocky roads
Roads we travel alone at times
Roads unmarked and unknown
Unknown the path which yet to travel
Unknown what each new day may bring
Bring on the obstacles to test our will
Bring challenges that test our resilience
Resilience that comes from hidden courage
Resilience that is tucked safely away
Away the doubts that used to plague
Away the fear to travel new paths
Paths we walk proudly as we explore
Paths that show us the power within
Within each of us the answer
Answer that speaks to us every day
Answer that says “fear not, you know the way”
Brand New Adventures
Today I decided that it was time to swallow my fears and insecurities and put my words in a publishing format. It was an interesting adventure to be able to pick the selected poems for a small collection of poetry that had some meaning to me.
It was especially powerful to put some very personal poetry in the collection – ones that I have not even shared on my blog. Funny thing is that I am not even sure as to why I shared the poems on the collection – something just said “It is time!”. I swallowed the emotions and decided that I had to follow the direction I was lead to.
Right now, it is in review status and I can feel weird “butterflies” take a hold of my stomach and do magical dances inside me. I am very excited, nervous and scared to have shared my words in an actual published poetry format, even if just in kindle format..
I guess baby steps is better than no steps and I have to walk instead of just trying to fly.
But, the true reason for writing this post is to give a shout and thank you to all whom have encouraged me, supported me and listened to my poetry with an open heart.
I would also like to give a giant hug and thank you to David M. Green for the publishing information!! You helped me reach a small part of my dream..
God Bless Everyone.. Please look for my poetry book on the kindle library “Wings of Hope”.
Love letter
I write this letter for my true love
In hopes to express how I feel
In your arms I know I am safe
Your eyes show me a future of joy
Your kiss sends sparks up my spine
Being bodily entangled with you is devine
Where you go is where I want to be
Your love and support has set the caged bird free
Thank you for all that you do
Without you by my side
I could not make it through
Perpetual Past
Weary body laying so still
A restless soul waiting anxiously
Confusion clouds a once agile mind
Questions plague a scared spirit
No voice left to vocalize her words
Lost in a world of a perpetual past
Time to See Finally
Time has come to move on now
Time for healing has finally come here
Here I stand at the angels mercy
Here I pray to God for my heart to be open
Open to finally receive full joy
Open to love myself completely for once
Once I knew exactly where I stand
Once my heart and soul beamed with joy
Joy of experiencing life’s majesty
Joy of watching all mysteries unfolding
Unfolding delicately like grandmother’s quilt
Unfolding like a mother’s tender embraces
Embraces that are filled with love
Embraces that come from all types of family
Family ties that bind us together
Family that is a woven tapestry to handle with care
Care shared as wounded hearts alike
Care that shows lost souls the sacred way
Way to finding peace and tranquility
Way to be finally set free
Free to love open heartedly
Free to be ourselves as true and authentic spirits
Spirits surround us that guide us to safety
Spirits when asked protect us from emotional pain
Pain that is buried deep in our inner core
Pain that lingers from pasts lives carried through time
Time alone can heal wounds that have scarred the soul
Time releases us from our painful pasts
Pasts that we wish to forget finally
Pasts that have shaped us to be who we are today
Today i look back along the broken road i treaded
Today i say thank you to those on that path
Path of pain it used to be long ago
Path of self discovery is what I now choose to see
See the strength I have gained from surviving the fall
See that I am still a beautiful soul after all

Silent Fears In Laughter
In the silence
Time stands still
Quietly she reflects
Life’s uncertain road
Flashes through her mind
What lies ahead
Silently she asks
With no one to hear
The fear hidden in her laughter

Innocence so Pure
Innocent spirits
Curious little souls
Abundant capacity for
Joy,wonderment
Loving nature
Caring beings
Nurturing abilities
So pure and sweet
