Ropes

Thankful for
another day -

Where I will
believe and pray -

To the one who
blesses me -

Blessed life
and blessed be 

To the one
who sets me free -

From the ties
I let bind me.

Growth

When the memories
no longer sting -
when the thoughts
mean nothing...

It is a sign
you have moved on -
all that was hurt
is healed and gone...

You picked up
and packed it away -
when you thought
heartache would stay...

Now nothing inside
holds onto that time -
believe it or not
it all turned out fine... 

So always look forward
to what is meant to be -
and never focus on
past negativity.

Three Weeks

I can hear it
calling me -
within three weeks
I will be...

Where the water
meets the sand -
on my happy 
sun drenched land...

Flip flops, sundresses
windblown hair -
I can't wait 
until I am there...

Palm trees, flowers
drinks on a patio -
I hear it calling
and ready to go..

Breath in the breeze
and salty air -
within three weeks
I will be there!

Smile

Determination 
drifts through the air -
I awaken to
find it there...

Flowers blossom
all around -
as I listen to
the sound...

of life inching
into the new day -
feeling grateful I am
learning to say...

I'm choosing to 
believe in me -
and doing my best
to live happily.

  

See Ya

Ding dong
the witch is gone -
the wicked witch
has moved on...

Glad to see
with no apology -
that they have moved
gives me glee...

So many people
left in their wake -
one more problem
one more mistake...

Now they have
moved far away -
karma is a friend
and will always stay...

Near to those who
abuse their power -
leaving behind
all those they devour...

Who remember well
their lies and deceit -
no longer is the world
at their feet.

Cleanse

It was attached
clinging to me -
yet they helped
and broke it free...

Symbolic how
it happened then -
it will not happen
ever again...

Already it is
a lighter feel -
already it is
starting to heal...

Just like the hell
I used to know -
I felt relief
to watch it go!

Road Blocks

Mistakes 
will be made -
Regrets will
appear...

Showing 
forgiveness -
helps 
with the fear...

Sometimes
it's you -
and sometimes 
it's them...

Accidents
will always -
happen
once again...

Learn 
from the sting -
then just
let it go...

Use all
your lessons -
then watch
how you grow.

Droplets

In the way
on a rainy day -
wish I could 
fly far away...

Maybe soar
way up high -
watching life
as it flies bye...

left alone to 
ask myself why -
I even ever 
start or try...

Never matter
much at all -
standing up to
only fall...

fleeting care
left long ago -
can't lift up
what's very low.

 

The Coast

It is where
I should be -
with my family
next to me...

We all laughed
and danced away -
it is where
I should stay...

Happy times
were had by all -
sometimes you need
to have a ball...

enjoying life
with each other -
finding new things
to discover. 

Empty

Going through the motions
on a dreary day -
wish I was anywhere
that is far away...

If only I was upbeat
as some seem to be -
it never lasts long
at least not with me..

It's hard to fly high
when you ride low -
it's hard to smile
when it's just for show...

Nothing is fulfilling
just more empty words -
thinking it will change
is simply absurd.
