Invisible Monster!

Invisible monster

You don’t hear it coming
You don’t see it coming
Like a tornado that leaves only destruction
A force to be reckoned with rips into our lives
And in a whirl disrupts everything
You feel the after effects for a long time
And you wonder what you did to deserve a visit;
From the much feared invisible monster!
Its power is deceptive, its stealth uncanny
But it doesn’t bear good tidings-
Just merciless surprise.
With surgical precision it cuts deep
And your life is in shreds before you know it.
A phoenix rises from the ashes so there’s hope-
That tomorrow will be a better day
And in the aftermath, you will find yourself again!

Thawed!

Thawed

You took a chisel to the ice that surrounded my heart
Then you massaged it with your bare hands
And I could feel the heat transfer to the cold, cold places
With one touch you brought me back
I am suddenly warm from the inside out
And the blood pumping through warms and comforts me
I am alive… and grateful to feel once again!

Intentions

Intentions

We start out with the best but in no time find the conundrum that is life sitting heavily on our shoulders, in no time we are in the doldrums screaming; “rescue me’! To no avail.
The heavy clouds roll in the sky and the threatening rain doesn’t offer much solace, I know it will be merciless yet I have no shelter. The only option is to learn how to enjoy the rain and ignore the lightning as it flashes across the sky and believe that’s God wondrous hand at work and smile and feel lucky for the miracle I witnessed.

Quick... Too Quick!

Quick… Too Quick

Quick to judge, quick to decide what’s right or wrong,
Your ideas aren’t always right or best for ME.
It’s easy to think you know best when you are on the outside looking in
You aren’t qualified to impose your opinions on me
Be slow to pass judgment because it’s not your concern.
Just mind your own business and let me be.
At the end of the day, I am not thinking about you
I am thinking about me and living MY life
So go on and do you, and forget I exist in your space
Because I don’t, never did really!

Fearless

Fearless

I hesitate momentarily at the entrance
I stand there fearless yet I don’t open the door
Am I more afraid of what’s beyond the door or
Do I just not want to find out?
Leaving my comfort zone is easier said than done
But I am warrior and I am always ready
I am here to battle every force until I achieve
That which I was born to achieve.
Nothing is standing in my way,
Except my own self enforced limitations.
I am leaving the shackles that hold me back behind.
Now its do or die.
Here I come world!

UnBurdened

Unburdened

Swaying in the wind in sync with the trees
How peaceful, how beautiful the motion.
Just listening to the wind as it whispers;
As it passes along messages of love and peace.
The branches and leaves tenderly caress and hug each other
This must be heaven, I think.
I know this moment won’t last forever
So I choose to savor and enjoy each second
For life will soon intrude on this safe haven!
I am as light as a feather, no worries, and no cares.I will bask in this moment for as long as I can…

Wishes

Wishes

I woke up one morning and I was a toy out of my box, oblivious to the fact that I wasn’t human anymore. I called and cried out but no one heard me so there was no rescue, I wasn’t real after all!
I wished upon a star and went to sleep hoping that when I woke the spell would have been reversed and I was alive.
All the kids wanted to play with me the next day but all I wanted was to be a kid myself.
I hope when I wake tomorrow I will be real!

Myth or Truth

Myth or truth

Chasing the unicorn,
The state of nirvana is the goal.
The feeling of euphoria is my wish.
Can I find this utopia?
Unattainable, unreachable, unsearchable?
What’s left?
Where do I start?
Is it even possible?
Search and not give up, is what I’ll do!
Its out there I know.
I will try to get as close as possible at least.
