I love seasons…& I love winter

I  ❤ Winter

P.S. I heard Christmas music at lunch today and I thought to myself…OMG I’m not over summer
but I guess it’s over me…so I better get myself ready.

I’m just a simple man

artbyMichelleMarie

      • I’m just a simple man

nothing much matters to me

except for this corner chest

inside a silver dollar from my dad

and this here leather chair

where I sit

      • I’m just a simple man

as long as I have food

and a roof over my head

life is good

today my breakfast tasted different

somedays it tastes great but not today

      • I’m just a simple man

he said not much matters

but the things that matter

today the simple man was sad

a foreboding sadness that dogs him

chases him down and sets upon him

      • I see the simple man

in his simplicity, in his sadness

I didn’t know it was that simple

Didn’t realize he was simple

Nothing is ever simple to me

except the simple man

Transformation

Transparent transformation

paints her soul teal green

translucent invisible…ღ…love…ღ…

of self…ღ…she paints…ღ…

”Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Do you love yourself? Do you love your neighbor? Something to ponder. ღ

We all have layers

We all have layers
I’m afraid that
mine are showing
Only a matter of time
Then you will be knowing
The things I try to hide
That scream at me inside
I promised I would muffle
and I even tried to shuffle
But nothing could chase
the voice that spoke inside
Close down
Go away
Just shut up
Stop speaking
there’s no use in even pleading
for reprieve or grace
cause girl, you’ve lost your place
Just shut up and be quiet
Lay down and take it quietly
No one will notice twice maybe
Baby, please don’t fade
Remember you are made from
Love, Peace, and smiles
Leaving traces in the hearts
of those who love you!
We all have layers

P.S. For someone who is struggling. I hear you, even when you aren’t speaking.

She lent me her wings

Over here please follow
You see the tree of hush
Is where the fairy wings grow
Please try them you simply must

Oh no, I said to her
I simply cannot fly
I know you won’t believe me
So let’s not even try

She wasn’t having any
Of my words to stop her there
She plucked from the hush tree
This beautiful blue pair

I can’t fly I said, I just can’t
I’ve tried so very long
I began to realize, and I think
I don’t belong

With a little twinkle of her eyes
I arose up in the air
Now you’re flying, she said and laughed without a care

Remember to not look down
When you see the hush tree
Do not make a sound
Fairy wings grow there 😉

For my sweet Pink friend Jeanne Marie.

Childhood is but a whisper

Childhood is but a whisper
I turned around and you are grown
part of me grew with you
part of me misses you child
part of me wants to go back
part of me wants to run
part of me wants to tell
the other parts of me
that your childhood was….it was a whisper
I’m sitting with that today
letting it sink in! 
Childhood is but a whisper

Lost in a world of words

Along the streams, the Stoney brook
Took me to the other side
Reality, yet a fantasy
I hurry deep inside

Your words they seem to capture
They memorize me so
They show me that my world
It is little, just…  And so

I get tired
My head gets full
I stop reading

I think I have gathered enough words, to last me a lifetime… Peace

 

Disclaimer: This is not about anyone particular person, but more about the state of my mind that gets full of words. It’s hard for me to sort it all sometimes. So I get lost in art and such. Just so you know…I never tire of reading just, processing so much. ❤

 

I saw you dancing

I saw you dancing
I reached out to catch you
You were moving so quick
You never caught my hand
Reaching out, out for you

I’m the butterflies
You asked to come
I’m the wind
The sweet breeze
that kisses your face

Slow down sweet sister

 

Paradise…among the flowers

Paradise found among the flowers
Love found floating on the breeze
Makes me think…anything is possible
If we only believe
