And what if she let loose
With feelings large and unruly
From having never seen
The light of day
What if she gave them their way
Would anyone still love her
Or would everyone turn away

Daily Bliss – November 12
Daily Bliss – October 26
When things start to seem
Repetitive
Over and over
Again
She digs deeper
For the buried treasure
Within
Her gifts are emerging

Daily Bliss – October 7
At the edge of surface-level
Awareness
Does she dare go deeper
Into the dark waters
Of solace and sadness

Daily Bliss – February 19
Her quiet soul persists
Though her weary mind resists
Rest comes in pockets and in between
Her fears of paths not seen
Nevertheless, her voice is clear
Peace resides here
{POEM} You Are Not Alone
When you stray too far,
We weep,
For your distance
For your safety in the world alone
We draw you near,
You pull away,
Yet you are not alone
We cradle you in golden wings,
Bound loose with cords of gold,
You have your freedom
And you run,
Yet you are not alone
Always calling,
Gently pulling you
Back into the fold,
Gathering strength enough to survive
A dark world on your own
Dearest angel, come home
You are not alone

{POEM} The Sin of Forgetting
This pain,
It can’t envelope you,
It can’t become you
For you are more,
You are not it,
Your worthiness does not lie
In lack of comfort,
Suffering the cause of nothingness,
You are not punished
For past sins,
Your only sin lies
In the forgetting to let go
