A poem I wrote a long time ago but it rings true present day.



We went down many winding country roads that day.
Sometimes wondering..are we going the right way ?.
I saw a sturdy but bent tree temporarily shifted...
With the help of some staking poles, it lifted...
No longer bent out of place,..
now straight as could be, with a brace...
I am funny about things like that...
I can find analogies from things I look at...
Looking at that tree as if it were me...
Living ..breathing..alive...yet bent...
From past storms & their natural events...
My roots are clutching through such rich soil,..
but the years show through branches coiled...
And then come along people dear to me...
Stepping back they look at me to see......
That in my heart I am strongly built...
But the wear and tear of all of my guilt.....
It shows through the weather and time....
And they come to help at the drop of a dime....
Acting as staking poles, they surround me...
Feeling as tall as the tallest cedar tree....
My family - My friends - My Staking Poles...
It's an embracement of beautiful souls....
So many roads and kinda displaced...
The hot wind was hitting my freckled face...
We eventually found our way home..
Content , and being greeted by our gnome...

You can call it love, if you want.

I took these two photos yesterday when I heard the wind start actin up. Cotton Candy pink skies on my balcony. A beautiful sunset on the other side of my building. Then the storm came and fed the Earth.

This is the expression my friend's dog makes when he gets caught. Lol. Makes me giggle every time I look at it.

Me.

I had to share this. A very good friend of mine messaged me and said this to me,"I read eyes pretty well. I can see ya got plenty of strength. I am NOT comparing you to a horse but what it makes me feel like is a horse thats never been allowed to run. But, really, the only thing keeping you from running now... Is you. I say run. Gallop. Let er buck!"

These are words that will cling to my heart! I wholeheartedly know what they mean. Sometimes I feel the urge to just run as fast as I can - so fast my feet are like air. I'm in awe of the love around me.

When I'm bored and have no one to talk to...I take tough selfies and also peek aboo selfies. Be entertained.

I want this hedgehog so bad! Who wants to spoil me lol

I want to run as fast as I possibly can....
..until my feet become so light,
that I catch air and take flight.

It is only then that I could feel I am
at my closest to ever being an angel
Not spreading these wings to fly
is what would be painful.

I want to stand tall
among a field of sunflowers.
Feeding off of natural beauty
is what empowers.

I want to stand there long enough
to witness speckles of gold
in the sunset and in my soul
Sunflower Eyes that are so bold.

I want to float on.
Becoming one with the sea.
Feeling every ripple and wave
I want to look up at the sky
and just be.

Find beauty & strength in small things.
Like a flowered weed finding a way
to survive through cement cracks.
I can relate to it and it impacts
my heart.

My heart becomes heavy and
I recognize the beauty
within myself
It shines like speckles of gold
built on a love I dearly hold.
