Dreams Never Die

drops of rain cool my skin
as a chill runs down my spine
I lift my chin towards the sky
and breathe deeply in and out
as I search through clouds 
of white and grey for a sign 
of sun's light, a pinhole of hope
a dream lingers close
I feel the pattering of my heart
thump, thump in my chest 
I make a wish and blow 
a kiss to the sky
my eyes smiling wide
as I dare to dream....
and in my heart - this life....
Dreams Never Die

Are you a Poet? It's World Poetry Day!

When Time Stands Still

temporary healing
brings about fleeting hope
those moments when the hands
of time stand still
as I dream, the clock has stopped
an untamed heart, wonders, ponders
and believes that someone
is watching, waiting
seeing these scars
as badges of insurmountable courage
fueled by a heart that refuses
to let go
an eternal dreamer just waiting
for the final fantasy, the last
train when two hands become
intertwined forever
locked together for
the purpose of dual strength
a magical duet, the finest
performances striking
high, hopeful, happy chords... 

On my way...

I would feel empty
though, I already knew
the truth before I even tried
to ask for help - so simple a task
yet they didn't reach back
I should  feel sad yet,
I don't because I felt it before I tried
I have my few and that's all that matters
the others won't drag me down
no they will not make me frown
they just ask and ask but don't give back
a change has shifted in my heart
and I will never feel the same
but I feel strong now as I face it head on
and the rejection won't stand in my way
I'm building dreams and facing them head on
this girl has found her way...yes,
I have found my way

Tower

I pause and reflect
upon the mosaic of my existence
recollecting scattered thoughts
as the ill mood of irritability
blows away like a dandelion
in the ferocity of a powerful wind
I allow realization to surface
and readjust my frame of mind to
accept that the fire within is deep
it is wild - it is fierce
it may dwindle but
only for so long as it takes
to revel, recharge, and reassess
for it fuels long lost dreams
and ignites passion owned by
my courage and desire to
confront the unknown
as the myriad of feelings
both unwanted and undesirable
work cohesively to draw the shades upon
my world as I know it and jade
my view of hope and serenity
though they stand powerless
against the omnipotent tower within

"I was made for chasing dreams..."

Life can be so challenging at times yet, I really do feel more beautiful today than I ever have before.  I have made some dreams come true and more are to come!  My second book is almost ready to be published, I have had more sales on my first book (still sharing proceeds from sales this month) and I am in the midst of so many more blessings!  Life really IS truly subject to change, don't sweat the small stuff - a process, I know...still learning here but embracing the spirit of allowing and letting go!!  xoxo
