As the day turns in to rest,
A reflection on the day.
We took control,
We made amends,
And said as much as we could say.
Now the night creeps up on us –
Silence seeping in.
A deep breath,
A restful mind,
A sense of peace emerges within.

Our Touch
What is it
To Touch a soul?
To feel a connection,
Something so bold?
Connection to one another,
Or connection to a thing.
Touch isn’t always physical,
Touch can make your soul sing.
Anyone can Touch another.
Could be a stranger or a friend,
Or even an object or a place,
Or things we may not comprehend.
That feeling when your inner self
Feels full of love and light –
You radiate a gorgeous glow,
And everything feels right.
Emotions truly run so deep
When experiencing life.
But what becomes of that graceful Touch,
When we’re experiencing strife?
Touch could be something
So graceful & sweet,
But on the other hand,
Can be so deceitful & weak.
A Touch of love,
A Touch of hate,
No Touch at all,
Makes one insane.
Some prefer to feel any way,
As long as it’s not lonely,
Sometimes things turn to gray
When all you want is someone to stay.
One can Touch the lives of many,
Or many lives can Touch one being,
It all depends your way of seeing others,
And recognizing a true purpose of living.
That’s why we must be conscious
Of how we interact
With every being in the world
So our universe can stay intact.
There’s so much more to life,
Than money, work, or school.
We must Touch each other mindfully
And use this as a tool
To see that we are in this together.
To embrace and uplift each other.
There’s nothing more important in this world,
Than to be united with one another.

Late Afternoon
The sky is blue, the clouds are scarce
Late this afternoon.
The sun just started setting,
But I can kind of see the moon.
She’s almost full,
A waxing gibbous, floating in the sky.
Sometimes I never realize
That she’s really quite so high.
The weather’s warm,
With a nice cool breeze blowing here and there.
But when it blows, it truly blows,
And things fly everywhere.
There’s leaves, there’s branches, some bottles and bags
Rummaging across the ground.
The wind picks them up and twirls them in the air
Like they’re dancing all around.
Sometimes it can be frightening
When the wind picks up its speed.
The sound and power behind it –
It sounds like it’s be freed.
Imagine this;
As if the wind was almost like a beast,
And it was held and kept away,
And only knew defeat.
It’s been released
From some cold dark cave,
Howling through the sky
And it’s no longer afraid.
While I stare off in the distance
Shadows cast upon the ground,
The trees look like they’re waving
Without making a sound.
The birds and frogs are loud.
They’re chipping in the distance.
Then there comes a heavy gust
And its quiet in an instant.
A sense of peace accompanied by
Nature’s presence all around me.
I know I should never feel alone
Because I’m right where I should be.
Feeling nature brush my cheeks
With gusts that feel like kisses.
It’s hard to ever feel alone
In such a loving universe we live in.
Thoughts
Sometimes words pop into my head
Effortlessly and it begins to thread
And weave into something I wasn’t expecting.
Something like a poem or story I’m telling.
Then all of a sudden I’m super distracted
By the words flowing so smoothly. I feel I contracted
Some type of illness that lets my words flow,
My mind goes free and my pen just goes.
It’s funny sometimes because I notice
When I have things to do I tend to focus
On the ease of words and rhymes flowing.
Most of the time I don’t even know where this is going.
So I just let my pen in hand do the talking.
These thoughts don’t move fast, it feels like they’re walking
And taking their time picking my brain
Of the right words to say and to be able to explain
That when I allow my pen to keep moving,
I feel this energy, it’s something soothing.
Like I’m doing what I’m meant to do, which explains the ease.
It’s my superpower, it feels like I’m freed.
It’s amazing how things just work the way they do.
When you let go and you feel an energy fly through you.
Like a river my thoughts are put onto paper;
Free flowing, unstoppable, one with my nature.
It’s a beautiful feeling, I truly am blessed
To have the ability of not putting some thoughts to rest.
To the Universe
I want to thank the universe today
For all the blessings that have come my way.
Your help and guidance and love
Fills me with peace from above.
I know that I am special and I mean a lot to you.
I know this because of what I am able to do;
To make light of struggles and still be able to shine,
To feel the love and strength from the divine.
My energy and life is fueled by you.
To the universe, thank you for all that you do.
Wildflower
Her heart was one of the kindest.
Her soul, one of the most unique.
Her body was her temple where she couldn’t help but to paint its walls.
Her mind was unpredictable; not even she knew what to expect.
A wildflower, surrounded by sunflowers and daisies.
Something was different.
Only the luckiest of people, she would blossom for.
When she blossoms it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen.
You’ll find yourself speechless and find yourself falling for her without warning.
But, she won’t realize that it’s happening.
Only you.
Only you realize what she’s done.
She blossoms rapidly, but will only blossom for you.
If you’re lucky, she’ll fall under you just as you fall under her spell.
This is it.
She has you and you can’t figure out how it happened.
You don’t know what you love about her the most.
Is it her smile when she sees the sunset or the moon?
Or could it be the way her whole body glows when she makes someone smile?
Or maybe it’s her vibe. The way her soul welcomes you and makes you apart of her.
She makes it so easy to fall so hard.
You won’t expect it, you won’t realize it.
It’ll be when you’re watching her do her makeup,
Or when she’s sleeping,
Or even when she’s angry with you,
You’ll realize how hard you’ve fallen for her.
You’ll tell her how much you love her,
But it could never describe how in love you are with her.
You’ve never experienced a love like this.
You know she believes you when you say “I love you”,
But you wish you could put into words the feeling you get;
The feeling you get when you make her smile,
The feeling you get when she holds onto you with all of her might,
The feeling you get when you hear her laughter.
You come to terms that you’ll never be able to fully express these feelings with words.
Yet, you still get the urge to attempt to explain this love.
And for some reason, at 2am, these emotions flood your heart and soul.
If she’s not sleeping next to you, you can’t sleep;
If she is, all you do is watch her.
Watch her eyes flutter as she’s far away dreaming,
Watch her twitch and sprawl out, making herself comfortable.
You think about how lucky you are,
How lucky it is for you to wind up with a girl like her.
She’s an angel, the one you’ve been waiting for, the one you need, and you never want to lose her.
She is your universe.
