Allow Wings
Sometimes we just have to
Try making friends with fear
So to see your way clear
To live your life
Fear only blocks your way
Hopes that you will not do
What you need to get through
The clouds and rain
This is all part of life
The dark will lead to light
And soon you will take flight
Because you can

The Secret To Thriving

The secret to thriving in life and living
Is in nurturing the very qualities
That creates wellbeing
In ourselves and around us
Generating goodwill
Strengthens the interconnections
Helping create a more resilient world
Empowered in empathetic humanity
Than just the survival of the fittest.
Savvy

The Turnover – A Quadrille – Poetry For Healing
The fragrance of night lingers in the evening air Leaving scented memories of sun-kissed days warming the skin

Princess Treasures
Sweet little sisters
Linger over each shell found;
Assessing whether
the newest one
just might be a little better
than the one before;
Washing the sand away
putting each precious find
into their bucket of memories
to carry home
with them at days end.
Today at d’Verse, Linda asked us to linger on the word linger, and write a Quadrille (exactly 44 words) using it in some form! My poem is about two sweet little girls we saw who were next to us at the beach last week. They were having so much fun collecting shells in the surf, they did not know anyone else existed.

The Promise
His eyes I hope that one day will only wonder for me
His jaw. Oh, his jaw…
I have the strange urge to touch it and run my finger down the length of it
I pretend he isn’t invading my entire mind, thoughts and my being
Dear god, his gaze…
His gaze felt as if it was piercing right through me,
As if he could easily see though my deepest, darkest desires
.
But I couldn’t let him,
I’m trying to protect my heart
Built a wall to shield it
And the fact how badly I was trying to resist him
Only pushed him a thousand mile past his limit
He wanted me
Bad,
Real bad
.
He’s going to fall in love with me
I know it,
I’m falling for him too
Who knew
If he were to kiss me,
I’d have to let that kiss demolish that wall

The Deep End
Everything felt safer on the shore, the water was clearer and the sky was brighter. Even from a distance each wave looked huge.
She swam to the deep end intentionally knowing that once she was there it wasn’t over yet. She feared the big waves and feared being pulled down.
Once the big waves passed she floated on her back enjoying the clear water and staring at the bright sky again.
She knew it would be a matter of time until another wave came along. However, she was prepared to do whatever it takes to keep her head above water.
