Attitude of Gratitude

Thankful for the blessings

The lessons

The messes

The things that molded my surroundings

The things that folded abiding

The experiences turned titanium

The mistakes turned to pages

The beginnings finally ending

My attitude is gratitude

diminished for no one

knowing my worth

because sometimes peace, love, abundance, worth,

is shaped through scorn

Life Happens do Life Anyway

Winter to Spring

Spring to Summer

Summer to Fall

Fall to Spring

Clockwise, Counterclockwise

Seeds Bloom

Seasons Change

Time Flies

Nothing Changes

Everything Changes

Tragedy~Triumph

Death~Birth

Mourn~Celebrate

Life Happens

Ready or Not

Regardless

Do Life Anyway and Regardless

Let Them Talk

If you do, someone talks

if you don’t, someone talks

if you do, someone talks

if you sit, someone talks

if you stand, someone talks

if you are silent, someone talks

if you speak up, someone talks

if you hide, someone talks

if you take up space, someone talks

if you dull, someone talks

if you shine, someone talks

Don’t sit, stay silent, hide, or dull yourself, someone talks

Do stand, speak up, take up space, shine, let them talk

No permission required, unapologetically

Drip or Drop into The Next Year

Drippings of this world

dripping to my core

drip drop drip drop

words flowing through the wind

sights enhancing the air

feelings connecting words

words connecting meanings

meanings connecting signs

signs connecting visions

visions connecting creations

drip drop drip drop

dripping kindness, love, peace, abundance

healing, wealth, wellness

dropping scorns, hate, conflict, scarcity

hurt, ill-fated disease

drip drop drip drop

into the next realm

I choose to release

I choose to receive

Endings are Beginnings

Death is imminent

but so is birth

failure is part of life

success often follows failure

everything comes to a close

and other doors open

what goes up, must come down

but what goes down, must come up

beginnings have an ending

and endings are beginnings

the ashes that were left in the forest

are fertility for trees to grow

mourn the end, if you must

rise from the fire and begin

that’s life

We are but a moment

We are but a moment in life

we are born into circumstances

influenced by environments

shaped by words and thoughts

developed by our own beliefs

we morph through life

and if we are wise enough

we learn, accept, and grow abundantly

regardless

we are but a moment

granted life on earth

If You Only Knew

If you only knew how brave you are

you would not bow your head to slander

you would not make pain your normal

you would not silence for comfort

you would not put yourself last

If you only knew how capable you are

you would take on that job

sing that song or dance

you would ask that question

without fear of the answer

If you only knew how much room there is

you would take up space

wish everyone well

you would be abundant and give

you would overflow

but you must know yourself

to know how brave and capable you are

to step into any room and shine

Celebrate Anyway

when someone is happy

some are happy for them, some are not

some mean well, some are just mean

some congratulate, some discriminate

some wish you the best, some wish at best

when someone is happy, the ones who are sincere

will be happy and cheer

some will pretend, then just wait for you to clear

your job is not to change people, or yourself

your job is to learn the difference

in some

celebrate anyway
