Chapters

 


Chapters

I walk into a new chapter

A chapter of renewed thoughts

A chapter that can embrace more of my loves

I however even though excited to embrace it, I feel a bit nervous

But time for this next chapter and the chance to go forwards

Sleeping Beauty

 


Sleeping Beauty

I’m awake and you are asleep.

Pondering how you are.

Wishing our worlds collided more often.

Needing to be content with this.

But still desiring the worlds could converge more often.

See you next time or in the next world.

Enjoy that beauty sleep.

Futuristic

 


Futuristic

Feeling calm and content

Excited for the future

Future of renewing licenses

Future of traveling and seeing the world

Future of breaking out and trying something new

Goals and motions shaping themselves now

Knowing I can break out of my current shell

Excited to see the future

Midlife Crisis

 


Midlife Crisis

Midlife crises 

You and me both

On the same journey but yet on different paths.

For now, we intersect

But down the road, do we still cross paths

Or do our journeys stop converging?

Whichever happens, I’m grateful for the chance to converge. 

Be safe on your journey.

Arms

 


Arms

Into your arms, I wander

Feeling safe and secure

Knowing I belong and you want me there

Feeling the embrace 

And feeling the uncertainties melting away.

Those arms signifying the moment and what is to come.

Those arms inviting me back again for a visit.

Thank you arms for holding me.

The Future

 


The Future

Looking into the future

I see trips

But do I see a way to move on and to improve oneself?

Moving forward is better than regressing and moving backwards.

Moving forwards means improvement and solidifying life is a journey. 

A beautiful positive journey of self improvement.

What does the future hold?

I know it can be the chance to grow 

And move forwards towards the person I deserve to be.

❤️

 


❤️

O heart that raceth?

Why do you race so?

Are you feeling anxious?

Do you feel foreboding?

There is no need for gallivanting.

You know life is secure

And the emotions are calm.

Pondering and Reflecting

 


Pondering and Reflecting

Sitting here pondering. 

What is in my cards?

Hearing the noises of people talking and a piano in the background.

Knowing this I don’t fully fit in nor the desire to do so.

But what is me?

Where do I belong?

Won’t force myself online 24/7.

Knowing I do have a creative outlet somewhere.

But do I have a talent?

A purpose yes I do have but pondering what is that talent.

A Birthday Poem

 


A Birthday Poem

Yearly we have birthdays.

Do they make you ponder you are getting “squarely older”?

Or do they make you pause and reflect on the past to improve the future?

Either way, you can use the day as you wish and desire.

I choose it as a day to move forwards and count my blessings.
