Shovels

She dug a hole
to hide away -
she couldn't face
the same new day...

She didn't have
a word to say -
so she found a place
where she will stay.

Mist

Release it all
as you go with the flow -

The more you live
the more you know -

What needs to come
and what needs to go...

Hold your feelings near
and your thoughts so...

You only water
what needs to grow.

Courtyard Shadows

It's quiet as the sun
shines in -
staring out the window
once again...

Only I can change
what I need to do -
only I can make
my goals come true...

So once again I vow
to be a better me -
forgiving myself
and let it all just be.

Drop Kick

I won't anymore
I've done all that before...

Now I will decide
to open up the door...

As I see the exit
and follow it through...

I won't anymore
there is no me and you.

JW

I had a great time
with the top down -
just me and my husband
riding around...

In my brand new toy
that he bought me -
my black BMW convertible
so I can ride free...

I wouldn't trade him
for anything or anyone -
he lets me be me
and likes to have fun...

More vacations coming
and we'll work hard too -
to my sweet wonderful husband
I so love you!!!

Ice Cold

Regrets stab
like twisted metal
in the back...

Running away
from the thoughts
when they attack...

Learning wisdom
through the lies
and truth they lack...

Realizing 
they were only ever
talking smack.

Pathways

I wonder how
it would have been -

if I did things differently...

Said no instead of yes,
Said yes instead of no -

left when I wanted to go...

If I never wasted time
on people or places -

that were a poor decision...

Would I be near water?
Would I be near mountains?

Would I be what I dreamed?

I guess there's never
any way to know

how things might have been.

Dimes and Pennies

At the time I thought
I was broken -
Chewed up, spit out,
a used token...

Then I glued myself
back together -
Utilizing my strengths
I've had forever...

It's my life and my right
to be happy -
I don't care what anyone
might think of me...

I know I'm kicking ass
and doing well -
and so glad I'm no longer
in their hell.

Just Fly

I'm thankful
it is all behind me -
the cocoon is broken
I was set free...

Now things are
how they should be -
and I couldn't be
any more happy!

Smile

So what if they don't
so what if they do -
their opinion
doesn't define you...

Yeah, some are gone
and some are still here -
you know who matters
as you keep them near...

I'm embracing change
as it flows on bye -
no time to worry
and no time to cry...

because everything
is at it should be -
with a promising future
and living happy!
