Words of Amber
burn within my heart
this is their home
this is the part
I want to give
but I hold them close
Far too often I offer freely
these precious words then
I realize I need them most
My desire to share
To be known
Led me here
Looking for a home
for my
Words of Amber

When you are looking for a safe place to land

When you’re looking for a soft place to land

A safe place to rest your heart

As the song plays… softly as you go

I look back once more…I realize

I can be my own soft place to land

so I do

To my broken tribe…Lost in sadness

Broken Tribe art by MichelleMarie

“Why am I so sad,” she asked?
This is to my broken tribe of loved ones, those I hold dear, those I sit with as they cry~with no answers but to offer a word of comfort. What do you say to the broken one who comes from years of emotional abuse? What do you say to the one who has been suddenly left without a trace of love? What do you say to her when her beloved dies, leaving them to pick up the pieces? How do you help someone that is lost in sadness? Lost in the past and the memories and thoughts that play over and over in her mind, tormenting her soul? I’m not sure if there is anything I can say to make it better. All I know to do is tarry with you as you find your way back to wholeness. Someone did this for me and I’m forever grateful she reached out her hand and held this beautiful space of healing for me. 

To my broken tribe of sweet sad hearts, I offer my hand and this space to you. I’m here, you know how to find me. 

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.

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

Day Dreaming

Art by MichelleMarie

I was just day dreaming
Writing my plans
Making a way
Perhaps in my head
I’m not really sure
What happened next
Then opened this door
Out came a Stallion
With a good hearty snort
He bid me to follow
That’s just what I did
Cause day dreams are magic
I felt like a kid

Day Dreaming

Sometimes…I wander the streets of my mind

Sometimes I wander the streets of my mind
I notice along the way, the drifting of time
It seems like yesterday, I went this way
Or was it the day before?
It’s hard to really know
When thoughts tap upon my door
Come out they say, let’s play
And you know that’s what I do
Before you know I find myself
Whistling a tune or two
Something sweet like that

Ya know?

Firefly Inspirations

Maybe it’s the twilight
Maybe June & Summer fireflies
I’ll never know why, I cannot stop
Sitting & waiting for you
First a hinted whisper like wind
Oh, it’s nothing that I did
To cause this flood of emotion
And elation that you are still here
No one knows & I’m not pretending
No spaces, no blades of separation
But me & you inspiration
I live to meet you here
