  • Trapped

    Unable to see, The trap’s escape eludes me. Dreams of flight remain. Having a dream, but being unable to see the way to achieving it is a true trap of the self.  Frequently we have a dream but end up so frustrated because we cannot see any way to get out of our present situation and work towards…

  • A Gardener’s Efforts

    One beautiful bloom Carrying  all of the love of a parent’s heart. Who has the harder task, the gardener or the flower? Few would deny that being a parent is hard work.  But perhaps being the child is just as difficult.  One side is trying to learn about the world, while the other side is trying to protect and nuture…

  • Joy

    It wells from inside, unbidden and unconstrained, Joy shouts loud and clear. Sometimes it might seem that joy is either difficult to find or even completely absent from our lives.  Our society would have us believe that joy and happiness are only present when we have new things, expensive things, are madly and freshly in…

  • Opening to Possibilities

    Open to the world, Reach inwards and then upwards, Letting self shine forth. How many times have we thought that something was absolutely impossible for us to achieve?  Or we have talked ourselves out of something before even giving it a try.   I have been guilty of this for quite some time, have told…

  • Shy

    Unsure and timid, I want nothing but to hide. The world pulls me out. How is it that we can both be so afraid of attention, yet as humans crave it so much?  That desire to have attention focused on us, yet the fear that we will, we must be found lacking.  Often times it…

  • Change of Seasons

    Icy winter’s beast, Facing unstoppable change, Embraces new life. A last remnant of Winter, facing the warming of the Spring’s sun and change that cannot be stopped.  Some change we look forward to, like the coming of spring after a long winter or the birth of much wanted child.  And some change confuses and scares us, like the…

  • Courage

    Limited by walls, Anxiety closes in, Courage’s door calls. Sometimes the simplest things require the most courage.  How often do we allow ourselves to be contained by walls of fear?  Fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of facing our weaknesses, so many fears build our walls and keep us in the dark. Often times we…

  • Judgement

    Disdainful hubris, Too cowardly to ask why, Corrupted caring. Judging other people.  Unfortunately we have all fallen prey to this at some point in our lives.  We judge people and situations based on many factors but usually a lack of understanding of an entire situation is at the heart of the matter.  How many times…
