The vigorous wind,
strong enough to snap a tree.
Intangible force.

Strength
Roam
Be my prized guest,
come stroll with me,
on a dream quest,
magic journey.
Our hands will plant,
prosperity,
so wishes grant,
effortlessly.
We will have fun
without a fear,
happily run,
laugh till eyes tear.
We will then walk
around the world,
have diverse talks
till our minds twirl.
Embrace all joys,
retaining peace,
as we enjoy
feeling so free.
Let’s hope our light
can sprout and grow,
a future bright
where auras glow.
We can unite
our souls as one,
eclipse at night
melts with the sun.
Create a dome
of priceless worth,
a valued home,
heaven on earth.

Knowing
Once eyes are opened,
they are not easily closed.
Knowledge is a gift.
– Grace Y. Estevez
Optimistic
Stop, pause, breathe, look all around,
break from staring at the ground.
Admire skies filled with sunshine,
opened eyes expand your mind.
Focus on the good in life,
not just on worn troubled strife.
Enjoy short breaks after a hike,
soak fresh breeze riding a bike.
Find great joy reading a book.
Good advice expressed with looks.
Teary eyes from laughing strong,
singing to your favorite song.
Perfumed thoughts start with one rose,
inhale deep, tickle your nose.
Nostrils guide you towards baked treats,
peppermints, coffees, and teas.
Discover joy on a boat ride.
Not winning first, knowing you tried.
A mirrored face that smiles and winks.
Conversations that made you think.
Stolen senses from romance.
Happy memories of a fun dance.
A mountain, beach, or city lights.
Your inner child feeling alright.
Remembering happy birthdays.
Celebrate fun holidays.
Cease from looking back at sorrows,
instead, build pleasant tomorrows.
Heartfelt joy needs no money,
bliss turns blood into honey,
flies like a dove up above,
experience sweet, divine love.
– Grace Y. Estevez-Reddy
Know
Water your palate,
open your closed eyes,
follow the rabbit
towards a surprise.
All things you believed
were simply contrived,
innocence deceived,
interest survived.
Pursue a true path,
answers you will find,
diffuse stubborn wrath
to open your mind.
The life you conceive,
you form and perceive,
all goals you achieve
you choose to receive.
The bad times you live
are steered by pure guilt,
the more love you give
the greater life tilts.
Try to live each day
without fear or hate,
behaviors displayed
create your own fate.
– Grace Y. Estevez- Reddy
Letting go
Full moon in September,
imagined orange light.
A translucent ember,
protects each autumn night.
Overhanging, wound clock,
keeps emotional keys.
Securely fastened lock,
protects all memories.
My breath keeps the sweet taste,
of yesterday’s honey.
Lingered echoes still trace,
blue skies, bright and sunny.
Crumbled paper made dreams,
burn to ashes and smoke.
To bask in blissful beams,
no one needs for death’s cloak.
Mixed emotions arise,
difficult to describe.
Unexpected demise,
lead to positive vibes.
Each day moving forward,
resets my inner clock.
Take steps moving towards,
my well-lit endless dock.
– Grace Y. Estevez- Reddy
Thrill
Euphoric daydreams.
A consistent excitement,
keeps climbing with thoughts.
– Grace Y. Estevez- Reddy
Formation
Endless spark made of bright light,
builds a universal wonder.
In the dark two hearts unite,
quickly crash to form loud thunder.
An abyss is painted blue,
puffy hazed hues of white oils.
Fresh rain waters create dew,
moistening embedded soil.
Cut a bouquet of fluffed clouds,
spring it up to sketch a view.
Floating still to watch for sounds,
in this world, a finger drew.
Hearts that glow like fireflies,
form an eclipse on the sea,
their pure wishes soon arise,
shimmering and flying free.
Rays of shiny illusions,
tightly wrap the beaming sun,
an energy infusion,
balances where it begun.
Sprinkled warmth covers each soul,
ever ready to embark,
physical appears as whole,
always guided by a spark.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy
Existence
As the world spins
does it shed sins?
Making wrongs right
all day and night?
Are problems solved
quickly absolved?
Do winds bring hope?
enough to cope?
Do all our fears,
and guilty tears,
grab hold and steer,
as gloom appears?
Do we throw hooks,
behave like rooks,
in little nooks,
exchanging looks?
Did we invent
outer intent?
A force to blame
for inner shame?
If we decide
to look inside,
what will we find
along with pride?
A tiny light,
twinkles at sight,
a brilliant force,
connecting source.
A silent bell
we know too well,
guides and compels,
within our cells.
– Grace Y. Estevez -Reddy
Empath
A wise empath I know,
carries distinctive eyes.
Her reflective mirrors,
expose secrets that hide.
Feeling every sorrow,
she lessens aches and pains.
Shares tears others swallow,
connecting to their chains.
Lets lies slide unnoticed,
so no one feels ashamed.
Unwanted emotions,
penetrate just the same.
Offers an open hand
at the risk of her fall.
Absorbing great sadness,
then dissolving them all.
Walking angel on earth,
still, will not spare her wrath.
Stands perfectly balanced,
while creating fair paths.
A mystical presence,
aura fills up the air.
Pure lit divine essence,
always driven to care.
