A drop of love,
can change a life,
sent from above,
to dissolve strife.

Swiftly travels,
through space and time,
to unravel,
powerful climbs.

Compassion grows,
deeply within,
heartfelt smiles show,
positive wins.

Fulfillment flies,
until it lands,
brightens blue skies,
kisses warm sand.

The smallest pinch,
is all it takes,
give just an inch,
joy will not break.

Reflect good will,
to all around,
affection spills,
harmony found.

Another day filled with dreams,
heartaches fight, one wins with screams,
shadows fill what hearts won’t hide,
emptiness crawls deep inside.

Solemn gulps brings bitter tears,
signs of hope convert to fears.
Inner panic soon consumes,
every thought leads to pure doom.

Step outside, resist sunshine,
set boundaries, draw the line.
Bask in pain to feel whats real,
watch as ego swiftly peels.

Flash above turns grim to light,
provides love, laced with insight.
Feel its warmth provide a chill,
take a breath as all stands still.

Gratitude comes to possess,
comfort slides to ease unrest.
Bright outcomes conquer the dark,
golden rays heat inner sparks.

Life can feel like a circus,
tribulations hit with purpose.
Allow emotions to show,
sorrow will dissolve then glow.

Toxic positivity,
pushes happiness after loss,
ignores negativity,
pretend sorrows shine like gloss.

Make believe that all is well,
bad comes with a good reason,
hidden bruises will never swell,
false zeal cradles cold seasons.

Hold tears back, swallow all cries,
focus on the brighter side,
do your best or at least try,
blues and grays forever hide.

Feel a lump stuck in closed throat,
heavy heart makes feelings choke,
panic steals reasons to gloat,
suppressed thoughts cheerfully poke.

Knock so loud, no one is there,
trust emotions, really care,
shove true feelings till thoughts dare,
to accept what seems unfair.

Allow tears to escape eyes,
a pure heartbeat can not lie,
sometimes life can offer sighs,
lessons blow wisdom flies high.

Could it really be so bad?
to ignore what makes us sad?
At times ignorance can add,
room to force mad into glad.

Do whatever will work best,
to run, hop, or skip life’s test.
A deep breath, maybe some rest,
could provide warmth in your chest.

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.

– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy

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.
