Absorb soothing words,
they can relax tense shoulders,
massaging the mind.

Thought
Receive
Removing makes space.
Always remain positive,
blessings refill them.

Festival
Playing charades
Festive games of masquerade
Enjoy the parade

Self assured
I search outside for sparks of light,
transforming my wrongs into rights.
I give advice along with hugs,
yet deep inside the void still tugs.
My heartstrings play a melody,
touching my mind like symphonies.
The sounds I hear distract my brain,
an endless task to fill with gain.
I talk in silence to my soul,
meeting myself gaining control.
All warm inside, feeling so bright,
with hopes upon a flying kite.
A search for what has now been found,
setting both feet on solid ground.
Now those I meet have mirrored eyes,
reflecting what I hold inside.

Just ask
Take a chance and ask
There is nothing left to lose
It is worth a try

Today
A bright new morning,
is an unwritten chapter,
in your clever book.

Sweetened
Candy filled wishes.
Coated with sweet euphoria.
Dissolving the past.

Chase
Money is an entity
needed for stability.
Vanquishes identities
if wanted fundamentally.
It becomes ambition pills
while obtaining greater skills.
Weariness surrounds your will,
green eyed monsters shoot to kill.
People say they want the best,
most can not sit down to rest.
Always filled with new requests,
seeking to find treasure chests.
Many can become obsessed
with the thought of new progress.
A daydream they live to stress,
uninformed that they are blessed.

Storytime
Perfect rainy day.
Stepping into other shoes.
Reading your story.

Blue Boy
Living his life like a dream.
Waiting for his day of luck.
Searching the garbage for food.
Working the streets for a buck.
His face wears a permanent tear in his eye.
His smile is unsure, mixed with hope and pride.
Exhausted by living
a life full of torture.
Holds on to his talent,
and soon finds exposure.
A future so wealthy
it gives him a ride.
It changes his walk
he now learns to stride.
With fame and with fortune
held close to his side,
his confidence risen
no reason to hide.
He fights to accept what he has in him.
A void and unrest that keeps his heart dim.
A lesson he gathered
was obviously shown
as money is useful
but not for his throne
