Walking in the direction of the beach.
The surfers and the swimmers enjoying the waves.
Sunscreen applied.
The heat is abated when the water is entered.
Rest and relaxation rejuvenate the soul.
The List
Direct the anger into a positive result.
Give up the impossible dream of control.
Respect the ones who deserve it,
even if you don’t think they are.
Love yourself and let it flow unto others.
Be kind to yourself for you are worthy.
Never give up hope that a miracle will happen.
The day you give in, is when I still love you.
A Beautiful Soul
He lacks confidence
but is extraordinarily kind.
He is thoughtful and precise.
His laugh is genuine and his smile indescribable.
He thinks of things that mean something to you
and then plans for the best way for it to be received.
He is there for me when I need a friend
and I will do the same for him.
I will cheer him up when he gets sad.
I will join him on his excursions
as we navigate the days adventures.
He leaves a lasting mark on my heart
and I will cherish him and these memories!
A Thousand Fools
One wise woman to rule
can not do so alone.
Advisors and councils
benefit the country.
It is keeping the
unwise ones occupied
that require most of the attention.
For if they joined the ranks
of the wise and powerful
she would no longer have a say
in what they wanted anymore.
The country is made up of fools.
The leader the most foolish of all!
No Ideas Forthcoming
Can not decide which one to choose.
The most special thoughts are not available.
Who am I going to talk about?
Or should I just admit that I can not formulate a proper sentence.
Give myself a break and let it be.
I am going to have a busy day so enjoy the quiet moments when you can!
Invalidation
Your trauma does not invalidate my trauma.
Your injury does not invalidate my injury.
Your feelings do not invalidate my feelings.
Your decisions do not invalidate mine.
Your opinions do not override my opinions.
You do not invalidate me or my experiences.
We both need help and not belittlement.
Experience
Watching them as they learn the hard way.
Sympathizing with their frustrations.
Letting them experience what you already learned.
Words have a huge impact but nothing
prepares them more for the world
then letting them learn first hand what life is actually like.
It breaks the heart as they figure things out
but you can only prepare them for so little.
The rest is up to them!
First Day of School
Excitement through and through.
Fear underlying the surprise.
Getting ready for the day.
Everything that can be packed is in the backpack.
Standing for the bus.
Wave good-bye and see you later!
Status Quo
When you are spending time
with your ex-boyfriend
and wonder if you are “just” friends.
What happens when he no longer wants
to hang with you?
Would you want to return to being
a couple again?
Why does he think he has your
undivided attention?
Are you still in love with him?
Do you yearn for the day
he says he wants more
or are you fine with the status quo?
My Hope
I hope the future is brighter.
That the children can inherit a better world.
One where the people who hurt you are gone.
A world of peace and sustainability.
Wars are meaningless and useless.
To imagine a world where only ambitions push you.
Not the bully on the playground…
Wait, did I just describe Star Trek?
