Looking up at the sky as my day finally slows down.
And I can finally appreciate the beauty and peace this world has to offer.
Sometimes, I wish that beauty and peace came with some patience and a little more kindness.

Daily Prompt: Meddle
I don’t want to meddle into your business
but lately you haven’t been yourself and I just
needed to know that you were okay.
You seemed a little annoyed but, soon you seemed to be okay
with it because you knew I just really cared and wanted to help.
That day meddling was the best thing I could ever do for our bond as friends became so much stronger that day and you knew I’d always have your back no matter what.

Quote of the day
“Man improves himself as he follows his path; if he stands still, waiting to improve before he makes a decision, he’ll never move.”
– Paulo Coelho
Daily Prompt: Relieved
She walked out the door feeling so relieved.
Her hard day at work was over and done
and it had ended on a good note.
She just wanted to relax and not stress out about anything for once.
But, she knew this feeling of relief would be over soon.
And all she could hope for was a better opportunity to come her way.
And right now she had to get through the storm before she could see what was truly in store for her.

Quote of the day
” The love of one’s country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?”
— Pablo Casals
Daily Prompt: Bottle
Nothing seemed to make my thirst go away
but the cold bottle of water I carried with me on this
hot day.
No wind in sight to cool me off as I headed back inside
hoping from some rain to come and cool things down.
For my thirst was becoming the only thing that was cooling off
besides the fans inside.
blowing hard to keep me cool on this long and brutal night.

Life
is not simple and sometimes
there are days when it seems so good and I just want to smile and thank the lord.
That today is a little easier for me and those around me.
For the stress has yet to become too much and that all you want to do is relax and not be so out of your mind.
You’re functioning but you are moving with the motion and you are not letting it get to you.
You become a brick wall and hope that nothing can knock you down for you don’t want to let the ugly of the world into your safe place.
You want to be yourself and not change because of the difficult things going on around you and with you.
You smile not because things will get better but because you believe and trust that it will all workout.
And so you try to focus on the simple and joyful things that come into your life and not worry about the other things that are out of your control.
For even though life is not simple, you like the moments when everything almost seems perfect and on its way to something greater.

Surrounded by everyone and feeling so excited that this journey is over, yet the feeling of saddest washes over me as we all walk off the stage.
And take our seats again, the thought that I don’t get to spend most of my day with these people, my friends is coming to an end and as much as I wish we would stay connected.
The reality is it’s been years since that day and I only talk to some of you once in a blue moon and it’s sad but I’m living my life and so are you and I’m just glad for the memories.

Daily Prompt: Blossom
It all started as a long morning and to see you
made the love inside me blossom into a million little flowers, making my heart fill with more love than I thought possible.
Time is precious and I’m glad I got to spend some of mine
with you today.
A lot of the time I’m just going through life and not focusing on the things that are not here with me.
And I want to say I’m sorry for I don’t seem to give you the time you deserve but I will try harder from now on because I know being 80 and 100 years old that you both have lived long lives.
And I want to be apart of all the moments you have left with this world for your words are always with me and I’m just as grateful to see you as you are that I came to see you.
I will carry you so much closer to my heart and mind for now on for I want to know I gave you all the love and memories that I could.

Daily Prompt: Create
I wake up everyday waiting to create a new piece
hoping it’s better than the rest.
That I’m improving and moving forward with my work
and the growth of it.
That I’m creating something that is telling a story about me or something I came up with.
To create something that can mean more to someone else than it does to me is what I really look forward too.
To create something great would be nice but the feeling of writing something and, it just feels so awesome to complete it and free when all the words are left on the screen and not in my mind anymore.
Is the feeling I like to feel when creating something new.

I’m broken and as I sit here pouring my heart out to you I hope you hear the love and pain in every word I say.
for what I have to say is important and I need you to know that you are not alone and I’m always here for you.
Some nights may seem lonely when I’m on the road but, my thoughts and heart are always with you.
