I see the way you look at me
With lust in your eyes
No real love to be found there
Underneath your disguise
And I’m tired of being the girl
Who says she doesn’t care
When nobody ever sees her
As if she’s really there
I can fulfill all your fantasies
But my true worth you’ll never see
As long as you keep looking
At the outside of me

The end of the beginning is here and I am honored by our dear friend, the talentedand beautiful Rachel of In Mind and Out who asked me to read her poem, “A Night Full of Subtleties”.
If you have not yet visited Rachel’s blog–you are missing out on so much tenderness and grace–now is your chance.

When Rachel first posted this lovely poem, I read it aloud to my husband–who smiled. 😊
I hope this spoken word piece puts a smile on your face as well. It was a joy for me to create for you, Rachel, and a perfect ending to my own story.
Thank you. 💓🤗💓
WLaG,

Nothing they know about each other
Life puts a fense between them
A full stomach speaks a different language
Than an empty one…
However, there is one food which does not differentiate:
Food for the soul, sunshine for everyone…

I’ m staring at a reflection
That My tablet screen is showing me
The reflection of my ceiling fan
It’s not moving but perfectly centered

They tell us success requires a laser-like focus on a single goal. Then they suggest we create a work-life balance. They say it is necessary to spend equal time on our finances, personal growth, health, career, family, relationships, social activities, spirituality, creativity, attitude, and amusement. The demands are overwhelming, and the wheel of life bumps over us imitating the proverbial bus.
The creatives among us are perhaps more sensitive to the underlying need for harmony. We wrestle with the tension, channeling it into our creations. The stress creates conflict, which we try to harness and incorporate into our work. If we are successful, we convey those feelings to our readers. It allows us to form a connection and tell a story that resonates.
How do you maintain balance in your life?
