To be

In my element feels so good.

As lately things have felt so stressful and long

And sleep has been not enough.

But here I am, breathing in the fresh air and having no thoughts or insight as I am just in the present moment of great peace.

Oh, how my green wants to blend in with nature’s greens to be so beautiful, grow strong, and handle all the storms with grace.

Staying here feels like home, and if only I could stay more than an hour here and there, I would never have to overthink anything, for I would know exactly how to handle each situation without hesitation.

If only I could stay and not return to the reality of the unknown ahead of me.

My thoughts

I haven’t

Had the joy of staying up late to read a book in awhile.

And this made me wonder have I been truly living.

Or is this story so eye opening that I can’t put it down for I have to know how it ends.

As if my life depended on it but I think I found a gem and I’m okay with losing a little sleep for this book was so good.

It was a breath of fresh air and mystery and just on the edge of your seat good.

It is one of my favorites for the year, and it’s called “ The Oster Driver Secret” by Caroline SafStrand.

What a joy it is to love reading all kinds of books for as long as possible!

Poetry

Cold all around

mywords2228

Me and even un my blanket of protection.

I feel some of it creeping in.

Why am I afraid of the cold

When it is you protecting me

I didn’t know what more connection

I could make to you, but now I feel you, lord.

Your warmth when I feel alone and

A cold chill on my arm when you are protecting me from something or someone.

I’m not scared anymore, for you are always with me.

This way, where laughter is all around us

And there is no worry at this moment in our lives.

The only thing that matters is spending time together, watching out for each other, and genuinely caring about one another.

In one moment, we are one, and in the next, we are not, but today, we will stay in this moment, be great, and appreciate all we do for each other.
