Inspiration from nature

Look past what you see
There are so many paths you can take
Even if they all don't run smoothly
Stay still
Stay calm
new things will open up
If they're not right
Take flight
'Cause the window of opportunity is yours.

(this poem I wrote over a year ago but it's one of my all time favorites. It was inspired by nature pictures from an old calender... I wrote a line for each one and arranged them into this)

Portrait of Olga in an Armchair

Alone she waits

And stares with a pale expressionless face

It is he she blames for the tragedy her life has become

No makeup can hide her eyes that swell with obvious misery.

Vibrant colors surround her fragile body

But the cold black empowers all with its bold embrace

It clings to her body’s shell

But also to her longing heart.

Her life

Is a train car full of coal

With no fire to spark the desire within

Nothing to consume her

And make her move forward

Her little hand holds tight to a painted wooden fan

But it feels a loaded silver gun

Something to make her feel better

And smile in the end

Love is there

And when I watch you fall like rain
I'll wipe the tears from your eyes
Baby know I'll always be there
Because love can't be left alone for long
Your love, my love
It keeps us coming back for more
All the little surprises
Surprises that make the frowns turn to smiles
Making the day a little less gray
Love is stronger than me,
Stronger than you.
It just keeps growing with every little thing that we do.
Good, Bad
Together
I love you.
This I know to be true.

Art as you wish to speak it

There's an art of spoken words,
But also of unspoken words.
Thinking, the way you think is art.
You'll never find another person that thinks just the way you do.
Art is being creative.
The originality of your soul.
Even your thought to keep things unspoken is an expression of personality.
Personality is an art,
You can try to change it.
But the way God shaped you from the beginning is the source of the magic.
Magic doesn't have to be all sparkles to shine.
Magic could simply be the soul's expression shining through

Where have I come From..

I am from the flashes of events this world has held for me.

Each person goes through their own sequence creating individuality and beauty.

Who am I?

Where have I come from?

I am from my own unique world.

Where thoughts prance in and out of my mind when I least expect them.

I am from each new day that buds like a flower and falls like rain as the sun sets.

I am from memories others have abandoned,

They lurk in the very depth of my soul.

I am not only from the gentle breeze that kisses the tree tops.

But also from the whispering winds of the night skies.

I am  from questions answered,

And the questions who's answers are still missing.

I am from the moments of my past,

And will become from those waiting in my future.
