In times of sorrow
hold me near.
In times of joy
show me you care.
In times of worry
protect me from my fear.
In times of peace
help me stay aware.
In all times, in every way
show me your love, my dear.
Dreams Fighting Reality is a poem I wrote a while ago. I recorded it as a poetry reading back in 2014.
Dreams Fighting Reality
My dreams danced away together
from my very own reality.
Like ballerinas trapped within my mind
They danced away
so I could not find the love I wanted;
The love I wished was mine.
Yes, my dreams slowly danced away
when reality told me
he was here to stay
But he seems to have strayed
because here comes my dreams
on this new day.
My dreams once again dance near by
as I force my reality to be mine.
Because this fight for what is right,
what is fair and what must be
has left a hole deep inside of me
so I fight to keep my dreams
and I fight to change my reality
I'm changing this fight
into a dancce.
I will not war
not against my own life.
Instead the trumpets
will be the rhythm of my feet.
Turn the battle cries
into songs of praise.
This will be a new day,
one with no more fighting
not against my own life.
I'll allow the ebs and flows
to direct my dance,
know it's God's will.
I will follow.
I will go.
He leads, I follow,
without a fight,
just a dance.
I’m so thankful for those who support my book. I know that not everyone has sent me pictures of them reading their copy. This is just a sample of the wonderful people who thought my book was worth their money.
I’m so grateful and happy that I have their love and support. I feel so accomplished and thrilled when someone mentions that they’re reading my book or like a certain section in it. My heart does a mini happy dance.
This was such a long process filled with life changes and editing struggles. Honestly, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I started this. I didn’t even know what the book would be by the end. The only thing I knew was I had to write it. That is one reason why it thrills me so much when I hear people are enjoying what I wrote.
Again thank you all who have bought and/ or read my book. It brings a smile to my face.
Side note: If you want to purchase “To Love” you can. It’s on amazon.
One, Two, Three, Four
Where is the open door?
Is there an opportunity for me?
Am I walking closer to you?
Are all the right things done?
Four, Three, Two, One
The race will be won.
As I draw close to you my spirit flew
each opportunity will set me free
to follow the one I adore.
Every month I do these quick update videos on my YouTube channel. They are my version of video newsletters.
They are focused specifically on my art business, which includes both my visual art and writing. I do sometimes add personal life updates since they may affect my business.
I will be starting to add them here, on my site, so that it is easy for all to access them. Starting next month the updates will post here a bit earlier in the month. However, you can always get notified of them if you subscribe to my channel.
Life is a dance,
swirling and twirling
moving all around.
Life is a journey,
learning and growing
moving all around.
Life is a battle,
striving and fighting
moving all around.
Life is always changing
as we dane on journey on
fighting our battles as we stand our grounds.
I'm boiled and bruised
Just like you.
No longer liquid inside
Life has cooked me,
There was no place to hide.
I was heated on all sides,
Break down my walls,
my outer self.
I'm ready to be consumed.
Let my life nurish your body.
Egg is a short poem that relates me to a hard-boiled egg. It is meant to be both fun and moving. I enjoyed writing it, so I hope you enjoy reading it.
Come easy please
with no pain or alarm.
Be at peace when you come,
a hopeful meoldy
one filled with joy.
Come to me easy please
with no struggle or strife.
Calmly enter
and be with me.
It's all I want
all I desire.
Come easy please.
Come Easy is a poem about how I would like things to come easy to me. This can relate to both successes in my art business and love life.
Come to me
o ocean breeze.
Gently Dance your way
under and over the midnight sea.
Come take away
all my stress
release my anxiety.
Come to me
oh ocean breeze.
