Social media lies
of manicured lives
watching
everyone’s highlight reel
versus
what’s real
Dawn’s serenity
Waking up
in love’s embrace
smiling at his
sleeping silhouette
joy circulating
through my body
Cleansing
The ocean
called to her
to heal the
impurities and
insecurities
washing them
away
like foam
on the shore
Swallow
Holding
back
words
feels like
having birds
in a locked
cage
in your
chest.
Analogy
Love is like
a magic trick
best experienced
without
questioning
the how.
Inception
Poems
are puzzles
of interlocking
pieces of
Imagery
Sound
and sentiment
Remedy
Looking for an antidote
for being jaded
To discern wisdom
from cynicism
seeking
healing
light
to wield
together
the broken pieces.
Facing fears
Negotiating with
the unknown
listening to
silent answers
following faith
to a new
familiar.
Breath work
My mat
humbles
me
through
the exhale
and
empowers
with the
inhale.
Uplift
When
your plate
is full
of
challenges
Be grateful
Encouraged
Accept
the compliment
by conquering.
