Daily Prompt: Tree

mywords2228

You used to look up at the trees with such big eyes.

For you never see something so big and green.

Now, you don’t seem to appreciate nature the way you used too.

Nature isn’t something that interest you and so you pass by the beautiful things in life with a frown on your face.

Wondering why everyone is making such a big deal out of trees and flowers.

You don’t seem to care about the beauty of nature until everything you once had is gone.

And so you focused to fall back in love with the first thing you saw outside your back down.

The tree your eyes grew big for is still standing strong and waiting for you to come back and admire its height, different colored leaves.

Daily Prompt: Daring

mywords2228

I’m daring you to just trust me and just jump with me.

Let your body just go and fall so easily down the water fall.

Don’t worry about how long it may seem before your body hits the water.

Just fall in and then come up for air and be amazed at how you will feel as you just for once truly let go.

To have fun, to experience for the first time a new view of the world.

Though the eyes of a risk taker and then take a deep breath and,I hope you realize these are the moments in life you will remember the most.

Daily Prompt: Breakthrough

mywords2228

I want to breakthrough your chains of doubt.

And your chains of fear that wrap around me until I give up and hope to be brace another day.

I want to say that I have few chains to breakthrough today.

But, I don’t so it may take a lifetime for me to truly feel free from things that haunt me in the night.

The things that hold me back in light and the things that seem so unbearable at night.

Maybe my chains are more than you can handle but we all have baggage.

And maybe one day I will meet the one who truly set me free from my chains, before it’s too late.

And the chains become apart of me and forever I will roam through life weighted down by these chairs of many things.

Daily Prompt: Graceful

mywords2228

You danced across my heart so gracefully

at first I thought I was imagining things.

But than you were always around doing little things that put and kept a smile on my face.

You gracefully pulled me into your life and nothing has ever been more enjoyable to me.

Days and nights seem too short and I’m always begging for more time in each day.

I know I won’t ever be as graceful as you and I know that’s okay because you take me as I am.

And in the end your grace will be enough to glide us both through the joys of life.
