Sunshine in the Blue

📸 image credit to Volker Lehmann IG

In the depths of a sky so blue,

Where shadows linger, and hopes are few,

There shines a light, so warm and true,

A sunshine that brings meaning anew.

Beside the lake, a tree stands tall,

Its leaves whispering nature's call,

In the embrace of your light,

I reach upward, feeling right.

The sunshine weaves through every bough,

A symphony of light, here and now,

In this serene and peaceful place,

I find a moment's sweet embrace.

In your arms, I find my peace,

A perfect harmony, a sweet release,

Chasing away the clouds of doubt,

Bringing the sunshine, casting them out.

So there you are, my sunshine bright,

For turning my blues into pure delight,

With you, my world is painted new,

A canvas of joy, in every hue.

Your golden rays, a gentle kiss,

Upon my heart, a scene of bliss,

Your presence sparkles, pure and bright,

Reflecting love's tranquil light.

In moments of silence, your warmth remains,

A gentle touch that soothes all pains,

In your embrace, I find my way,

Guided by the warmth of your day.

You are the whisper in the breeze,

The calming rustle of the trees.

With every dawn, your rays unfold,

Turning the coldest nights to gold,

With every smile, you light the way,

Transforming night into a brighter day.

Your presence is the spark that makes me glow,

When the world feels heavy, and spirits low.

In your light, I find my strength,

A boundless love, of endless length.

Through every season, come what may,

Your sunshine never fades away,

A constant in this ever-changing view,

My guiding star, forever true.

Solitude

When dusk sets in for twilight,

Where shadows dance with pale sunlight,

A soul finds peace in silent grace,

In solitude, a sacred space.

No voices break the tranquil air,

No hurried steps, no worldly care,

Just whispers of the wind's soft song,

In solitude, where hearts belong.

A moment's pause, a breath so deep,

In solitude, the soul can weep,

Yet in those tears, a strength is found,

In solitude, we're truly crowned.

In solitude, the mind can soar,

To distant lands, to every shore.

Dreams unfurl like petals bright,

In solitude, they take their flight.

The clouds above, deserve extol,

In solitude, they quiet my soul.

A journey inward, calm and still,

In solitude, we find our will.

Through still lagoon and tall, green trees,

In solitude, our spirit glees.

A quiet strength, a gentle power,

In solitude, we bloom, we flower.

Hope Amidst The Storm

In the quiet of the night, I lie awake,

A month of pain, a heart that aches.

Chronic hives and bruises, a relentless tide,

Brings waves of worry I cannot hide.

Depression's shadow looms so near,

Whispering doubts, feeding my fear.

What if this leads to something more?

A storm within my own cell, a future unsure.

Sadness wraps me in its cold embrace,

Anxiety's grip, a relentless chase.

Physical pain, a constant friend,

When will this suffering ever end?

I search for solace, a helping hand,

But it feels like no one understands.

In this battle, I stand alone,

Yearning for comfort, a place called home.

Yet within me, a spark remains,

A flicker of hope amidst the pains.

For even in darkness, light can be found,

In the depths of despair, strength is unbound.

Echoes on Canvas

In strokes of color, lines of grace,
A world unfolds upon the space.
With every shade, the canvas sings,
Art's silent voice, the brush it brings.

A pencil's dance, a charcoal's sway,
On paper plains, they pirouette away.
Sketching dreams, outlining thought,
In drawing's realm, the soul is caught.

A gallery of minds, a tapestry so vast,
Where every hue, a memory's cast.
In art we find, life's echoes drawn,
From dusk of night to blush of dawn.

So let the art, in heart take part,
A masterpiece from the very start.
For every line, and every dot,
Is a story told, a vision caught.

Silent Battles To A Chorus of Healing

In the quiet depths of mind, where shadows often tread,

Lies a silent battlefield, where many tears are shed.

A place where laughter once resided, now feels so hollow,

As the heartaches of tomorrow, in the darkness wallow.

Whispers of self-doubt, like thorns, they prick and tear,

Each petal of self-worth, stripped bare, left to despair.

The world outside moves on, in colors bright and bold,

Yet within these walls of thought, the air feels cold.

But let this verse remind, those who fight unseen battles,

Your strength lies in resilience, amidst life's rattles.

For every moment of weakness, there's a hidden might,

In reaching out for help, in sharing your plight.

Mental health, a journey, with its ebbs and flows,

A spectrum of emotions, that only the heart knows.

Let's weave a tapestry of support, understanding, care,

For every soul that struggles, let's be aware.

So speak your truth, let not your voice be quelled,

In the chorus of healing, let your story be held.

For in the sharing, we find a common thread,

A bond of human spirit, that in love is spread.

Eternal Glow: Ode to a Mother's Light

In the heart of the home, a gentle light glows,

A beacon of love that forever grows.

She's the whisper of leaves on a summer's breeze,

The kiss of the sun through the canopy of trees.

With hands that weave comfort, soft as a sigh,

She stitches the moments as time trickles by.

Her laughter, a melody played in the air,

Fills the rooms with a music so rare.

In her eyes, you'll find the stars' gentle gleam,

A harbor of dreams, an endless stream.

She's the dance of the firefly in twilight's embrace,

The tender touch of morning's first grace.

A mother, a giver, a compass, a guide,

Through storms and through calm, she's always beside.

Her wisdom, a lighthouse when seas turn rough,

Her strength, an anchor when winds blow tough.

In the quiet of night, when the world's hushed and still,

Her presence is peace, her love is the thrill.

For the gift of a mother, so gentle, so bold,

Is a story of love that never grows old.

May this poem reflect the beauty and strength of Mothers everywhere. 🌻🌹

The Bond's Unwavering Love

She is human, here is the beast

Cruel fate had brought them together

His wolf recognized its soul's feast

And vowed to protect her forever...

She feared his claws, his fangs, his fur

Yet saw the kindness through his eyes

His love taught her to trust him more

And showed her the beauty of his skies.

In moonlit nights, they danced as one, Their hearts in perfect sync.

Her laughter was his morning sun,

His strength, her missing link.

Through forests deep and mountains high,

They journeyed hand in hand.

With every step, their spirits fly,

Together they would stand.

No storm could tear their love apart,

No shadow dim their light.

For in each other’s tender heart,

They found their endless night.

They faced many dangers,

many foes, many trials,

Nothing could break their bond.

They fought for their love,

their happiness, their smiles,

And found their true home beyond.

Their tale became a legend told,

Of love that conquered fear.

A bond more precious than pure gold,

A love that’s ever near.

Echoes of Lost Love: A Sonnet of Longing and Memories

Staring at nowhere, bringing back the clock

Haven't forgotten those moments we shared.

Stacked-up memories hidden and unlocked,

Sadness, longing, wandering never bared.

That green eyes, who's smiling at my beauty,

And that red lips, talking sweet words for me,

Your Southern accent though may sound groovy,

My heart cradles the pain nothing like a scree.

Oh, Love, where are those green eyes and red lips?

I missed the cymbals ringing through my ears.

Tears no one can fix but your hand that grips

Cries that you would never see, crimson tears.

How I wish we could touch hands, bare our souls,

but now I'm dancing with your ghost of woes.

The Bridge

Path where new horizons glow
Mind can't ignore what it brings
Time runs o'er the mind to show
Heart expressed uncertain things.

Crossing never been easy
Hurdles to stop from going
Needles of pain to carry
Brave heart to keep on rolling.

Once the foot steps on the other side
Beholds the future, waving!

The Sea in Me

Just like a cool, deep sea,

You'll find the person in me.

A positive outlook can be seen,

Meaningful thoughts buried within.

Look at it as calming & relaxing,

like a friend that would never let you down.

Feel the warmth of the sea embracing,

like a friend that will always be around.

Dip in, swim in,

know the depth within

but never take something from its naturality,

for you know how Mother Nature sends its fist thru calamities...

The Woman

As the rib holds out a man,

A woman is to be cherished and behold.

A woman holds together

whatever is inside her wings.

A woman puts together

whenever and wherever one needs her care.

As the rib protects a man's heart,

A woman should be kept.

to be taken care of and to be cherished,

In all the struggles of this world,

she remains the woman... quiet and still...

Yet, when all fails, and chaos is around

she dares to face the naked truth...

Slay...walk... battle it out

though wounded and in pain.

As the Saviour is brought forth to us through a woman...

A woman saves the day

with her wit, brevity, passion, and compassion.

She is The Woman,

the embodiment of life.

I Am a Fairy

**image credit to: fanpop.com/clubs/fantasy/images/4722886/title/fairy-photo
with some add/edits of the moon

My soul hides a magical fairy.

I love to sing and dance everywhere I go

like I was shining.

I am made for great things.

I feel a big connection with Nature.

Nature gives me power through the five elements:
fire, water, earth, air, and energy.

Besides Nature,

I have a really strong connection with the moon,

and the moon has a really strong connection with me.

The moon gives me power and peace.

I feel like she is my second home.

I have two sides,

like all creatures,

light, and dark.

I am in the middle of those two,

but at the right times,

I fall on the light side.
