Daily Prompt:Float

That moment when you spoke the truth for the first time to me.

Floated around my mind for hours after we talked and I just can’t get over how it all went down.

I felt like you were walking on thin ice and so how you got out of all the trouble you caused by saying a couple of words.

You were surely going to take back sooner than later.

But, some how you bent the truth to avoid the lies that were just floating on the surface.

You never wanted to come clean completely, you just wanted to feel like no one was going to call you out.

And it was too late to turn you in when there was nothing left to say for the lies had all but floated away.

Daily Prompt:Tempted

I’m tempted by the dreams that come to me as I sleep at night.

Some seem so real that I can feel like I’m there in that moment.

And when I wake up I feel like I’m tore because all the amazingly great/weird things are gone and I’m just me again.

I’m so tempted to go back to those dreams when I wake up in the morning but when I try to go back.

I can’t and so the dream is never finished and so it disappears and it soon fades from my mind.

To maybe tempt me another day.

So strong

is  your will to carry on and some may say how can you feel this way when the world is not always a great place to be.

How can you smile and skip when you have the same struggles in your life as I do and I just can’t seem to pick myself up?

But, there you are smiling and going with the motion and not letting all the craziness get you down.

But, you see even the happiness person can be sad too but they choose to let that emotions be in that moment and move on to better things.

They don’t let it bubble up inside because, they have learned that lesson many times over and over again.

So, smiling to them and being happy in the moment is the brighter side of their life even when they have so many questions in their life that is still not answered.

They have learned to keep moving but to not just be getting by but truly throwing themselves into the fire.

And when it gets too hot they back out just a little bit, yet they never give up.

They choose to change their mind set and believe they can do this all they must do is take a minute and breath because life only gets better if you are fully in it and fighting with all your have.

Because no one is your biggest cheerleader then yourself and once you believe and trust yourself, you will be unstoppable on your best and worst days.

Crossing path with you on such a rainy day just took my breath away

As we walked past each other our eyes locked and it seemed like for the first time in a long time I felt like I was in the right place at the right time.

And as we both took a mental picture of this moment, time speed up as you smiled at me and continued your walk to wherever you had to go.

Crossing your path was great day to me and we continue to see each other with nothing but sunshine in on our path to the unknown.

Daily Prompt: Interior

Her interior is something not everyone gets to see.

You see this girl is filled with so much light that all she wants to do is share it with the world.

But, you see the interior is overlooked for it takes time to see past her walls to see the light that is sometimes blinding.

Her interior is not always bright for the darkness comes out to play from time to time.

It spills out of her interior and comes out into the world that sometimes brings out the nasty in day that started out so great.

S0metimes, the interior isn’t the brightest star when observing someone’s life but when the interior isn’t the greatest it doesn’t matter how beautiful the exterior can be.

Because, beauty will fade and what truly matters is the interior.

It’s the one thing that you always can count on and it makes you who you are and when you bloom from the inside that’s what truly makes the person so much better to know.

Daily Prompt: Year

The new year is here and this is the year for so many great things

I can see it in your eyes as they light up with so much hope as the ball begins to drop

and the new year is cheered on.

You slowly get up and go to bed for the celebration is over and you don’t want to fight the yawns anymore.

As you lay down to sleep you realize the year is here and it’s just another day as life goes on.

And just maybe things will seem different but, only time will tell as this new year begins and life begins to throw you some curve balls.

Happy New Year’s

As New year’s eve ends , I realize I’m sad to see 2016 go but so excited to see what 2017 has to offer me.

I’m excited for the direction my life is going and my writing and I know I have nothing to worry about next year.

Because whatever happens I will embrace it all with open arms and enjoy the roller coaster I have to go on to get to the side I belong on.

Letting it all go and letting God take care of me and my life has been the best decision I have ever made.

My baggage is no longer suffocating me and I am free to walk away from the past with no string attached.

I’m light with nothing weighing me down as I walk through life with so much hope and faith and determine that it will all work out for me.

 

Happy Year’s everyone, I hope 2017 brings you so much hope and blessings that 2016 didn’t.

I know that WordPress community surely blessed me in 2016.

I know nothing but great writing is coming my way and my fellow bloggers.

This Year we will continue to inspire each other and support each other. Our work will touch many hearts and bring the joy someone may be looking for.

Thank you for following me and reading my work!
