Here I am

Genuinely smiling at you in hopes you will see me.

And not just the smile on my face but also the joy of it.

For it has felt so long since a genuine smile has been on my face.

It feels like I have finally made it through the storm, and I am stronger because of it. Now, I hope to share some joy with you.

Before, I didn’t have much to share but the darkness around me, and I’ve never wanted to let my uncertainty and self-doubt leak into your life, so I hide it in the hope your good times won’t fade because of me.

But now my good times can mend and bend with yours, hoping that this smile stays around for a while.

Nature

Here I am flowing with you

I am becoming a part of the wind as it carries part of the very fabric of me.

So freely, as if it weighs nothing, I feel free and at peace.

I am not just a simple human being I am nature so beautiful and free.

So unpredictable that you never truly know what you will get from me.

I’m in my season of chaos, and I know it will be a little rough, but the rainbow and the rain will come, and you will feel the things meant to be washed away from you leave with such ease.

And calm will come after the storm, and a cool and sweet breeze will wash over you.

Leaving you relaxed to the touch

For the first time this summer, you will sleep like a baby, for the heat will not bother you again for at least another day or two.

Moon, I am a mystery to you

I am near, but my thoughts are always far away

I am forever changing like the moon

I, too, go through phases

Do you appreciate my phases and think of them as beautiful and unique, like the moon?

Or do you wish I would stay the same and stop changing so much?

Because this latest change has left you without my words to read or my presence.

Like the moon, I am still here, hoping to come back strong for you and me.
