Will

Doing what she must
as ways to survive.
Smacking her own face
just to feel alive.

Numbed to all the pain,
seasoned to betrayal.
Holding her weak heart,
knowing she will fail.

Crying without tears,
she screams, no one hears,
cover her own ears,
to shelter her fears.

Falling to the ground,
with no one around,
Finds strength to stand proud,
fixes her tilted crown.

Exhales all the hell,
she had to endure,
then takes a full breath
to feel reassured.

Stands on her two feet,
her head in the air,
as her inner force,
tempts her to now dare.

Knowing deep inside
her aim can build towers.
Cradles brighter views,
embracing her power.

Changes

It starts from inside,
I am often told,
try hard to control
the space that you hold.

Dig deep from inside,
to release all cares,
becoming aware
of everything there.

Change happens inside,
perceptions transform,
cradle all ice storms,
turn cold into warm.

Balance from inside,
removing extremes,
extracting old scenes,
then sewing the seams.

Feel free from inside,
let all the bad go,
your pure smile will glow
all joys will then grow.

Find strength deep inside,
grab hold of pure light,
all day and all night
it always shines bright.

Spirits

A shot of hope to mask all fears
A pint of faith to capture tears
Light appears
Troubles clear
Painful years
Disappear

A cup of bliss eases the shakes
A glass of charm is all it takes
Fix mistakes
Balance quakes
Soothing lakes
Eases aches

A flask of pride to be kept strong
A flute of wisdom corrects wrongs
Joyful songs
Sing along
Fateful prong
All belong

A bottle of peace helps trauma heal
A crate of love so all can feel
Ego peels
Light reveals
Bright appeal
Shine for real

Form

Most people crave
positive flows,
so hard to give
what goes unknown.
So hard to see
when never shown,
cradle your heart
until it glows.

When negative
is all you see,
it hides all hopes
with lock and key.
One must dig deep
to set it free,
emotion waves
flow like the sea.

Break all restraints
along with chains,
do not let fears
provide constraints.
Found inner strength
will dictate gains,
watch as all goals
pour down like rain.

Create your own
positive vibe,
great energy
hard to describe.
Once it arrives
keep and subscribe,
when possible
share and prescribe.

Gift

Pretty pebble
thrown in the air,
left all alone
nobody cared.
Carried powers
way deep inside.
Unseen by all
but the wise eye.

Young girl in search
for some control,
all by herself
taking a stroll.
Aims to fulfill,
numbed voided spots,
that broke apart
within her heart.

Finds slightest shine,
within a rock,
for the first time
feeling a spark.
Keeping it safe
deep in her pocket,
the perfect link,
for her prized locket.

Instantly clears,
all of her fears.
All sadness steers,
when it is near.
Every old tear,
transform to cheers.
Glad it appeared,
she holds it dear.

Pretty pebble,
felt loved at last.
Never ignored,
like in the past.
All special gifts
can now be shared,
emitting love,
deleting despair.

Finding her way,
warmed by sun rays.
Embracing days,
from where she lays.
Feeling amazed,
empathy raised.
Rewards that pay
are vowed to stay.

Graceful pebble.
Secure young girl.
Gifts to this world,
like a fine pearl.
Connected fast
attached they curled.
Enjoyed their dance
united twirl.

Unity

In between my heart and mind,
lives a voice quite hard to find.
clear to speak from deep inside,
giving truths while being kind.

In between my heart and mind,
ample taste for lives designed,
not staying within the lines,
all fun games are undefined.

In between my heart and mind,
expired thoughts fall far behind,
choices grasped if so inclined,
tearful eyes strong lights can blind.

In between my heart and mind,
loyal acts are ties that bind,
essence felt become aligned,
past scented times dance entwined.

In between my heart and mind,
inner conflicts are declined,
brilliant wisdom carry shine,
innocence perceived divine.

Pearl

A muted voice sings in your head,
the opaque words can not be read.
Loud blurry scenes live in your mind,
imagined lines left undefined.

Stardust hues create happy thoughts,
blinding both eyes from wars once fought.
Comfort your skull on silky sheets,
while all you seek is what you meet.

A glowing beam sets on your face,
shining your skin each waking day.
Sliding on rafts through streams foreseen,
living so posh, feeling so clean.

Melting my face in your deep eyes,
I meet myself, what a surprise.
All that I know, at once I see,
finding the key that lives in me.
