Can Anyone…?

As a child, I’ve known rejection, of a father’s love, and because of it, lived many years in a silent river. I’ve lived for a time introverted, had my world turned upside down. I have failed at some things, have triumphed over so many obstacles. I have flaws, I have scars, but my wings never tarred. I’ve had my heart mistreated, had my love misappropriated, but yet; never shied away from giving it. I’ve been looked down on, but it never kept my heart from looking up. I’ve swam in love’s ocean, have drowned trying to fathom the depth. I’ve conquered many mountains, waded through deep waters, and have learned; you survive life, how your soul lives and breathes. I’ve known love’s bliss, felt the pain in its agony. I’ve seen loved ones grieve loss, fighting back my own tears. So, they could have the strength of my love, to cry on. I have fallen, but the fall wasn’t from grace, but into grace. I know passion, have been shown more compassion than I deserve. I love deeply, been loved profoundly, more than rejection will ever eclipse. I’ve had my heart shaken, my soul stirred, have never minced my love. Why live, to let your heart seem heroic, but let your love be true. How strength is found, to triumph in this journey! Tell my heart this, can Anyone… relate?

This piece, written for everyone, for we’ve all been through something, maybe still going through some things. Some more, some less, but our humanity’s truth is this; the struggle is not are we living, but through it all, are you breathing?

Wednesday Proverb; Let it Be!

Are you walking through this world, and it barely feels like living? Trying to live, but breathing doesn’t always seem so easy? Perhaps, letting the past be, the past, the here be the now. The heart, learns to trust… the process, the soul, understands how to be. Sometimes, we look through our hopes, but see our dreams are tired of dreaming. Don’t let it be, a heart discouraged, instead, let it go; doubts and fears, to let hope soar. Some days, new heights will surely reach, to heart and soul. When, we don’t let careless smiles, become a callused heart. Trying to let it be, what you let your heart believe, will become what will truly matter. Learning how to see yourself, the way love sees you. How you will discover, you’re always enough. A flower, doesn’t bloom in every season, but we let it be. Until the moment comes, to watch how it thrives, in time. Loving, who you are in this moment, lets the soul be at peace, with whom you need to be, tomorrow. Love, doesn’t intervene to overwhelm with its truth, just be a beautiful display, of its endearing worth. Even, tears flowing in quiet streams, the heart, letting it be, it can become a tranquil river, soothing the soul. The best laid plans, needs faith to let it become, time to let it be. The days of our lives become, moments passing within our hearts, the soul slipping between the sands of time. Whenever, the weight of life gets too heavy, burdens get hard to bear? To find your equilibrium, we have to; let it go, lay it down, let it be!

Pound for pound, the heart is the strongest organ in the body. Be courageous, you’re an overcomer. The way to the other side, what your heart has to go through. Never abandon your dreams, don’t relinquish your hopes, they’re tethered to your desires. Walk the walk, don’t need to talk the talk, be authentically you. You don’t look down, so your feet can know the path. You look up, to open your heart up to the possibilities. Even if you stumble, and your heart gets bruised, don’t give up. On the road called life, scars are inevitable, but flaws don’t define. No need to be strong, trying to keep it all inside, let it out. Even, if the rain won’t seem to end, and the flood so overwhelming, breathe. Tears, don’t mean you’re losing the battle. Peace is a river, love fathoms oceans, and there’s light even in the darkest moments. Look within, you’re stronger than your mind thinks, braver than what critics perceive. What matters, what you choose to believe. Don’t let your heart digress, every little step is progress. Every day, look up at the sun, there’s a light also in you. Every night, gaze at the stars, let it see the twinkle in your soul. Let fear know, not today, life’s circumstances won’t eclipse your glow; it’s your time to shine!

Wednesday Proverb; Abandoned Thoughts!

I can’t, leave that rhetorical phrase, at the side of the proverbial road. The journey your heart’s on, doesn’t need that kind of loaded baggage. When, every other thought has a subtle chuckle, joy gives the heart permission to chuck negative beliefs, out the window of the soul. Systematic chains, keeps the heart in bondage, abandons your worth in a deprived, reality. Feeling not good enough, abandon those kinds of flawed thinking, ditched them in the deepest crevices of your peripheral. And when, your mind’s racing, trying to be there to pick up pieces of your heart; gather your thoughts, be still and know, deep love builds up a broken heart. And if, you ever feel not worthy of love, renounce that thought, burn it up in love’s eternal flame. Let your soul, listen to every heartbeat, the breadth that it holds, makes the love within your story, not yet told. Deserted thoughts, with no return address, will never find its way back to the heart. Insecure thoughts left stranded, in your lowest valley. Will never fathom the moment, your soul has reached the pinnacle. The place where your heart’s journey, finds how abandoning misleading thoughts, lets the soul discover, love’s wholistic essence!

Love’s Anxious Imagination!

When, anxious love washes over your soul, contemplative affection persuades. Beneath, the surface of every heart, lies love’s deepest mystery. The heart’s imaginative exploration, becoming love’s gleeful excitement, beckoning the soul deeper. To let the heart know the stillness, breathless in love’s tranquil essence. With bated breath, with every eager contemplation, the nuances are revealed. Beyond the expression, deep within my soul, words I have found, letting the tale unfold. Profound love stories, eclipses paradoxical understanding. With childlike faith, my heart opens wide, believing in love’s endless contemplating. The love my heart knows, yields the compassion it holds. My heart’s imperfection, don’t negate what makes imagined love have worth. Love, takes the willingness in my soul, and makes the irregularities within my love, become something beautiful. My anxious love, doesn’t worry about pleasing tomorrow, but let my focus be, what needs my heart’s attention, today. My soul, is not consumed with what has passed, but letting all that I am, be enough in the moment. Eager love, doesn’t moan, it yearns… to be more. There’s no greater ocean, a heart should want to be, than fathoming the depth of love’s mystery, finding your soul lost within the breadth. The love deep within your soul, when set to become, the simplicity finds the freedom to be; love’s anxious imagination!

By Design; the Thrust!

Every rose colored soul, sees with its own unique perception. Some conceptions, made of glass, but if the Thrust becomes a fractured perspective, the heart is found in broken pieces. Rose coloured lens, happily puts on a positive vibe, reflecting the soul’s rosy disposition. The question is, has the heart enabled flawed vision to perceive, half full revealing life’s picturesque horizon?

Whether in the valley, whether trying to conquer mountains, whether in the depth of a silent river? True love, has an undeniable reach, in a heart not swayed by circumstances. You, don’t have to be a knight, endowed to conquer the darkest night. Life, Thrusts the heart into battles, but within every warrior, a conquering spirit. With every valiant stance, fear retreats into the shadows. Quaking, never taking the chance. Knowing that with every glance, lies in wait the soul of a fear-less heart!

* By design, a collaboration with my daughter’s spirit, and my heart!

This by design post, was created in loving memory of my daughter, who passed on March 2, 2021. She took graphic design in college, but didn’t have the opportunity to pursue it in full. My heart, has been blessed with the ability to express love through words, and convey it with a picture. For the past year, and from time to time I will be creating my own designs, and share them with you on her behalf. She, may no longer be here, but through my heart, her love will be realized!

Wednesday Proverb; Love’s Reach!

When, love’s essence crawls into the bed of life, it kicks off the cover of darkness, to reveal its benevolent presence. Doesn’t need to reach to be anything, but be love’s proverbial existence. In the midst of the heart’s darkest night, love doesn’t preach, comforting words will always reach, teach with love’s sublime excellence. Giving, hearts the courage to reach across anxiety, and turn off the bedside illumination. Allowing the soul to find rest, within the moonlight of love. Love’s breathtaking dawn, drips the dew of love gently; letting the moistness release love’s reign. The breadth, stretches the heart, equips the soul. When indifference closes doors, love reaches for the curtain, exposing what the heart needs to unveil, the windowed soul. Love is, an extension of the heart, words remissed if not to mention; love’s undeniable reach. When it doesn’t preach, but loving teach, its kindness has a profound reach. True love, doesn’t need to stand tiptoed, to grasp what seems out of reach. Love, reaches to extend, persuades to attain. Whenever, your relevance seems anxious, stretch your faith, hold out your hope, embrace your worth. Deep love teaches, real love reaches. My words, are not here to preach, my love all about the reach, and together, our humanity will teach. Nothing, has a more meaningful existence than, love’s reach!
