Sway

Everyday is born within,
tired eyes, create thick skin,
guilt bubbles absorb dark sins,
splashes of hope lift heavy chins.

A brighter day chases the old,
warm smiles melt hearts, frozen cold,
change of views help wounds unfold ,
adhesive scars grip to hold.

Choose today to make a mark,
bright dreams circle dread like sharks,
hopes ignite all hidden sparks,
pushes light deep into dark.

Time ahead moves head to feet,
as logic and feelings meet,
march to musical heartbeats,
while sitting still in your seat.

Back in Place

Took a pause,
that ran too long,
fell off course,
distorted song.

A quick breath,
went on and on.
Endless length,
built a new dawn.

Missed you all,
glad to be back,
writing calls,
center unpacks.

Home sweet home,
return again.
Superdome,
words represent.

Mighty breeze,
clears away fog.
Inner peace,
help visions jog.

Time transcends,
stories transport.
WordPress friends,
greatest support.

Me (Published at Spillwords)

I am the lessons I have learned,
the cool aloe that covers burns.
I am the songs I hear replay,
creator of my waking days.

I am the breeze that travels time,
made up of bright memory chimes.
I am the start and end of life,
the strength that pulls through grief and strife.

I am loyal forever true,
an inner spice with peaceful hues.
I am of flaws and great mistakes,
decipher truths, discard the fake.

I am the one that gives a hand,
empathizing to understand.
I am present when life gets rough,
at times fragile but always tough.

I am a child, mother, wife, friend,
devoted love without an end.
I am a healer with insight,
guided by higher powered light.

Ruby (Published at Spillwords)

A little girl got her first shoes,
opened the bag but felt confused.
She wished for ones like her mother’s,
but got ones worn by her brother.

Tough little girl as strong as nails,
had a strong will and dreams that scaled.
she often played outside with kids,
but could not run since her shoes slid.

This little girl, she had no clue,
her innocence hid what was true,
she lived within a paradigm,
people in need were seen as grime.

The little girl became so wise,
took every chance, studied design,
she grew up strong created plans,
to help herself and give a hand.

Bright little girl worked hard to share,
inside she always seemed to care.
Built charities at her own cost,
contributed silent support.

That little girl grew up concerned,
promised herself she would return.
Providing shoes, one of her deeds,
so kids could run, hope, and exceed.

Hiatus

Good bye to yesterday,
today meets brighter ways,
serendipity sways,
embrace joy so it stays.

Trust fate, truly believe,
open up, then receive,
wishes that hearts conceive,
become all goals achieved.

Blink away stagnant views,
deep day dreams can come true,
colors absorb gray hues,
positive thoughts pursue.

Destiny settles scores,
good fortune opens doors,
let faith guide towards more,
bright light shines deep in core.

Time clears off stagnant blocks,
opportunity knocks,
through surprise and sheer shock,
watch as pure luck unlocks.

All “starts” follow an “end”,
miracles soon extend,
pleasant blessings transcend,
past what minds comprehend.

– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy
