Daily Bliss – May 22

Daily Bliss

What if what’s unspoken 

Is more powerful, bolder 

Than even the minutest of sounds 

Ringing through the forest of her mind 

Rustling the leaves of her memories 

Like fire, crackling on the edge of despair 

Only to come back stronger

Daily Bliss – May 19

Daily Bliss

Is power the maker of her world

Or is there something else, imperceptible 

Yet sensed in the deepest parts 

of her intrinsic memories 

As if it were always there,

Seeking and returning, 

As she vacillates between powerless 

and power through

Perhaps there’s middle ground, lost

Seeking to be discovered

Daily Bliss

What if it’s all a joke  

Designed to make her forget  

Her power 

And her strength? 

What if she knows what’s inside her, 

What’s part of her,  

Can’t be taken or diminished?  

What if she has the last laugh?

Daily Bliss

What if she can’t hold it together,

What if it all spills out onto the floor,

Writhing and seeking the light

Only to die in the stale air

So she can finally breathe

Daily Bliss

And in her time

Will she hear the bells ring

for freedom,

Will she hear the cries for love 

be quenched 

With the cool, cool waters of acceptance,

Will she hear her own voice 

and trust its power,

Will she hear its truth?

Daily Bliss

Rest, she hears

But — 

Allow rest 

No ifs, ands, or buts

Float in liminality

Allow rest to wash over and cleanse away 

Every pull to Do instead of Be

Allow rest
