Change of direction today was not what I was looking forward too on a Thursday night when all I wanted to do was go home and sleep.

Now I’m forced to pick another route and slowly but surely guide me home, and It makes me become frustrated because I just want to get to my destination with no complications.

But, the  truth is getting to where I need to go is not always up to me  for in any moment it could change and I need to have faith that it will work out in a way that benefits me.

The lights

Were bright that night as we gather around to celebrate together and oh how long it had been since we had seen each other.

We wanted to show each other how bright and how big we could go for this night was the only night we had time to do the show all together again.

First we started with sparkles and work our way up to bigger fireworks in hope that we can light up the sky and turn this dark night around with lights and laughter.

Let’s

just throw it all a way like a hat on a sunny day, when your mood is great that you feel like your floating above the clouds .

With no worry about coming back down for it is so peaceful with no care in the world on how things are going to worry because you will be back before you know it.

The quiet noise about you is the best time to focus and do what you are suppose to do for a moment like this doesn’t come around often.

Letting go!

Poetry

It’s

time to get away and let the stress wash right off of me as I sit in a new place that replace all the stress with relaxation.

To feel the joy of not having to worry about anything of anyone for right now this is my time to get lost in a good way.

To feel like there is no rush to do what I need to do and to breathe through it all because at the end its me who will have a smile on my face.

Finally

the night of our weekly gathering has arrived.

It feels like it’s been a long time coming since we have all been in the same space.

I’m looking forward to the food and the laughs we will share and the hope of making more plans sooner rather than later.

I’m so excited I can’t stop thinking about what could happen and the joy not just I will feel but everyone that will be there tonight.

It’s going to be great I can feel the great vibes.

A GOOD TIME

Oh how

I love to start my day with a great book to read well attempting to eat breakfast.

I know that I can get lost in a good book and maybe eating breakfast and reading are not all that great of an idea but, I just can’t help myself.

Walking past the kitchen quickly to find the right book before my food greats cold sometimes can be a bit of a challenge but, I’m up for it today and tomorrow and everyday for the rest of my life.

the time out to just enjoy the little things like seeing a field of flowers and seeing the excitement on my face like when I was a child and experienced something new for the first time. 

I know that enjoying this moment while I can is a real joy and right now I’m lucky to just enjoy something so beautiful and be in that moment the whole time. 

My mind was empty and clear and the peace and shine of this day fell over me like a blanket keeping me warm.

I stand like a toy frozen by your words

wonder why you feel you have the right to say that.

You seem to think you are above everything and therefore you think you can get away with so much.

And I’m supposed to stand around as if nothing is happening and not moving a muscle because you are capable of doing so much more.

I have tried so many ways to help you even when I don’t want to push myself anymore.

You are not the answer to my prayers so stop trying to be all I need.

news of the Notre-Dame in Paris going up in flames, makes you  stop and appreciate the things that have always been around and maybe lately you have not thought about.

Until something happens and makes you stop and drop everything to make things better and great before it’s too late to connect again.

Only in time will it heal and be able to rebuild and become great again but without the love and care and attention it could all change for the worst, so lets all stop and help out for once.

a manikin I felt so naked that day in front of all those people when the words I needed to say would not come out.

And there you were looking so calm in the front row sit smiling up at me and encouraging me with your smile to continue on and to not give up or feel down when I happen to stumble over my words.

That day was just the beginning of you being by my side and cheering me on, I know now you were like my guardian angel watching over me when no one else did.

many letters will it take for me to get out of this mess I’m in?

Will the clever ways I use to spell and design something for you be good enough or will I stay on your bad side and what is happening right now just something of the past. 

I see so many and so much can be done and I just don’t care if I get to use it everyday or e every week I just know that I need to use them and do something different for once this time once and for all.

the bridge we go again

traveling to a place that suits us.

A place that makes us happy and fulfilled because at the end we know this place that we are driving away from wasn’t the place for us.

We now have the opportunity to see what other places can show us and what we can show new people and places what we are capable of.

It’s time to stop holding back and doing something we love and not be stuck in a place that makes you feel so much hatred in your heart.

is our time together and it feels like it’s took so long for it to happen but, now that it is here I am quietly embracing the joy that I feel inside at this moment.

I know that we may sit here for a while and embrace the fact that this time won’t happen again for a long time but, we know that our love and bond won’t go away.

Even when we go away from this place I know that there will be more trips and moments for us to come a long.

Our time!

Come

img_2664Image by Bikurgurl

with me and lets travel from place to place

in hope to find some great moments to capture together.

So many we will take in and so many we will snap pictures of in hopes to keep around for a long time.

Maybe we will put them all in a book and make a couple for both of us to look back on when we are not together.

Being outdoor in such fresh air and seeing how warm and green everything is as our surrounds become more beautiful than the one before.

is my place to read and to write

to just smell the fresh air.

To get lost in the beauty of nature

and to not have to worry about how much time I have left before I have to go somewhere.

This is my time to do what I want and need to do.
