I got my head in the clouds
Looking at stars
Waiting to catch a falling one
Grab it tight  
To make a wish
Putting it close to my heart
Send it up to Heaven
Blowing a kiss
You are sure missed
I hope you catch it
My falling, shooting star...
Got my head in the clouds.....
Wrote this on a whim in two seconds.... hope y’all like it!

Time will heal,
     relaxation will charge,
               prayers will help and
                         love will continue.
Ashly Kocher Feb 2024
Healing is hard
When you feel alone
Yet, surrounded by love
Silence overgrown
Fading into the background
Darkness overtaking fast
But, one simple smile
May help change that feeling
Finally, at last…
Ashly Kocher Feb 2021
It takes time to heal
Love surrounding you will feel
Just know we are all here
Always ready with our listening ear
Struggles are real
But don’t you fear
We are here, to spread you cheer
It takes time to heal
Love surrounding YOU WILL FEEL!
Ashly Kocher Aug 2020
I hold a healing stone in my hand
Feeling the energy releasing from the ground I stand
Swirling mist around my head
Controlling my emotions which I have not said
Closing my eyes, opening myself up, allowing my soul to be repaired
I am no longer scared
Woven and handmade, hangs on my wall
A dream catcher, just for me, with healing elements, to hold onto my dreams from with inside of me
Healing powers are at your fingertips
Just close your eyes and see that magic happen...
Ashly Kocher Mar 2020
The sun peeking through the clouds
Rising above the the ocean waters
Majestic colors start to unfold
Painting a masterpiece of a beautiful still picture
Capturing its beauty behind the lens
Bringing calmness, peace, and happiness Giving our hearts a major cleanse
Just as we walk to the top of the pier
We feel the the negativity lifted and letting go of our fears
May you all who read this poem and see this photo
Take a moment to reflect on your individual journeys that connect us to where we are in this moment
Releasing your doubts into the unknown today
The reality is that we are not alone and one single picture and poem
Can unite us together just like the oceans waves always flowing
Continuing to let our hearts keep growing...
Wish I could attached the picture I’m referencing here that my sister in law took at the beach in Florida. Just use your imagination;)

As we ALL carry the weight of the WORLD on our shoulders right now
Look for the HIDDEN messages that once may have been LOST but now can be FOUND
In this time, let us all REFLECT and PRAY
That the WORLD may HEAL and we ALL will be OK
Ashly Kocher Jan 2022
Healing from something that has traumatized you is like trying to mix oil and vinegar together and not have it separate…
Ashly Kocher May 2019
At the end of the day
You are the heart of it all
Ashly Kocher Jul 2020
We have hearts in our eyes
That we wear on our sleeve
If you listen very closely
You can hear my heartbeat
That’s just me who wears her heart on her sleeve
Ashly Kocher Oct 2017
My heart
Your heart


LOVE....
Ashly Kocher Dec 2019
When I put my heart and soul into a writing, it’s gets no response
When I just write and post, it goes wild!


Hmmm!???!
Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
My heart skips a beat when I'm with you
My hearts skips a beat and says I love you...
Ashly Kocher Sep 2018
Horse drawn carriage
                       coming down the street
Click
        clack
              click
                     clack
          Just like my heartbeat
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Just like the ticking of the clock
You keep the beat of my heart
Ashly Kocher Sep 2020
The beating of your heart is music to my ears
Playing a melody, a song, beautifully created, solely by your heartbeat, just for me to hear...
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
The feeling of loneliness
Of a broken heart
Since now we are apart
Isn’t getting any easier
But the love you gave us
Is stronger then the pain we are feeling
Trying to be brave
Without you here
Has left us heartbroken
Drowning in our tears
We miss you more
With each passing day
But just remembering
All the memories and love we have
And that we will see you again
                                                Someday...

A fraction of our love....



....equals the whole of our hearts combined.....

...Forever and always in this lifetime...

A thunderous smile yet broken heart, shattered and breaking, yet coming full circle to slowly mend the pieces back in shape
Ashly Kocher Sep 2021
She lights a match
Setting her eyes on fire
Looking for the smoke to settle
Following her hearts journey

They saying goes:
“You wear your heart on your sleeve”
Well I wear two hearts on my sleeve...
One for you and one for me
Ashly Kocher Apr 2019
I had a heart to heart with someone tonight and was trying to help them through a difficult time. I sit here and think of my past and the things I have personally dealt with in life. The mistakes, the regrets, the things I wish I would have done, the thing I have done and much more. I often ponder my choices and the path of where life has led me. I have always said "everything happens for a reason" and I stick with that to this day. The "what ifs" are just a formality of the choices you have made. I had to go through the bad times of relationships to get where I am today, married to my best friend and couldn't be happier.
I had to deal with my dad becoming sick and not being able to take care of himself. I watched him wither away to nothing, and saw him dying. I wouldn't change anything I did during that time of his life because I did and said all I could to him. I still haven't dealt with him passing but I know he is always here with me.
I had to deal with my families home catching on fire and our childhood home being destroyed. Even though things were damaged and destroyed, no one was home, so we didn't lose anything. Things are replaceable, people are not. I wouldn't change how that day happened because it gave me a better perspective on life.
I, as everyone else, deal with things differently and emote their emotions differently, but I know no matter what life throws at you you can get through it. Everything does happen for a reason, good or bad, it's just they way to want to deal with it at the time or when you are ready to deal with it.
I can fully admit that I have no confidence in myself in anything I do, or think that I'm the best at anything but I do believe I am here for a reason. Be a great friend, work hard, love everyone, and be a supporter. This is my role in life.
Take everyday for what you make it and know you have a purpose in life and deal with it. We all have been through a lot no matter how young or old you are but we are all dealing with something. It's how you choose to deal and choose to embark forward on the path of life.
Found this that I wrote a couple years back, but still rings true today.
Not really a a poem but inspirational write.

Our life here on earth

Is just a holding place

Until our time is up

And we are called “Home”

To live our life from Heaven above....
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
Have you ever thought...

Maybe us on earth, actually live in Heaven and everyone in “Heaven” actually live on earth?

Just a little mind tease for the day...
Ashly Kocher Dec 2017
Building inspiration
Crying tears from heaven
Sliding down rainbows
From fluffy white clouds
Releasing butterflies
Singing songs of joy
Missing loved ones
Just a little more
Ashly Kocher Jul 2019
Total miles 4,352
But if heaven had visiting hours
I'd drive forever to see you, again....

Hello?
Is this thing on?
Can anyone hear me?
Do I even make a sound?
Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to hard
Left in the background of someone else's thoughts
Do I even have a voice or an opinion to make
Maybe I need to turn up my volume for heavens sake
I am not the one to always say what's on my mind
Hopefully that will change in do time
For now I'll sit back and let the pieces fall
Holding in my feelings, for now, maybe to be heard
Once and for all
Ashly Kocher Mar 2020
Hello?

Is anyone there?

Is anyone seeing my work?


Have I disappeared?

I feel in a rut that no one can find me!

Hello?

Hello poetry
Has helped me find
Myself in ways
I never knew existed

All the support
All the love
From all of you
Who helped me rise above

I have written poetry for many years
But for a short time being here
I’ve grown and learned so much
For just over a year

Almost 700 poems or writes
You have all push me with all my might
Some short
    Some long
       Some fiction
          Some real
But all from the heart

Hello poetry has helped me find me
Pull my own words outside of head
From the bottom of my heart
I thank all of you
For your non judgment and your constant support
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
Depressed
Angered
****** at the world
Mood changes
Every couple minutes
We try and help
Give advice
Push you to be better

But how can we help
If your not willing
To change yourself?

I know it’s hard
You have a “rough” life
But if your not willing
To move forward
Make changes
Listen
Embark in a different direction
Then we can no longer help

Your only 18
You have your entire life
Ahead of you

     Help us, help you.....
We try to take this coworker under our wing, be role models and parents toward him, yet he falls back into the same problems all the time. It’s sad to see it but he doesn’t care but does.

You can’t get
The love and support
Of all around you
Until you
Love and support and
Want to help yourself first...

Sometimes I get in my own head
He said
She said
They said
I wanna crawl back into bed
Get this nightmare off replay
Erase the tragedies from my brain
Waking up to a brand new day
Delete the past of my mistakes
How long will this take to stop...........

You need to be comfortable in your own skin
Love yourself from within
You can’t just erase what has happened in the past
But YOU can make each moment and day last
People talk
Opinions speak volumes
BUT
If you be true to yourself
Live for YOU
Be happy with YOUR life and choices
The nightmare will end and your love will shine through
Over shadowing the
He said
She said
They said
That’s when you can rest your head
Knowing your staying true to
YOU!

Hey.....

Hey you....

Reading this....

You are loved and worthy

Always remember that!

Sincerely,

A friend. :)
Hid
Ashly Kocher Oct 2017
Hid
Do you hid behind the clouds
Of someone else’s dreams you have for yourself
Try to emerge like a butterfly from its cocoon
Falling at first but catching wind like a free flying balloon
Rising up to the shining lights
Your time will come soon
For then you’ll be in the spotlight
Ashly Kocher Sep 2021
A part of your life is always hidden behind the surface
That’s ok, the sun and moon aren’t always full and shining all the time
Sometimes your meant to be closed off….
Ashly Kocher Jul 2021
The hidden emotions are inside of you
Searching for guidance, looking for advice
Hesitation subsides
Letting your heart pour out
Never thinking twice
Water it with love and it’ll grow
Support is all around
Accept it and go…
Ashly Kocher Jun 2021
Beauty lies within nature of mother earth around us, we just have to look deep within the chaos of life that surrounds our hearts and look for the hidden mysteries that are out there…
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Look closely into the tree
A hidden treasure singing beautifully for me
Big and red extravagant beauty
I was standing in my patio reading a poem that popped up In my memories that I had written the day before my dad passed away almost 5 years ago. Something told me to look up and there is a gorgeous bright red cardinal staring at me and singing away.
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
To be afraid
To show your armor
To face your fears
Covering it with a smile
Breaking the barriers and the wind around
Embracing my feet upon the ground
Struggling to find piece of mind
Holding on to what’s left of mankind
Capturing the moment of light within the darkness
Surrounding yourself with a protective armor
To be not afraid of your fears
Even shedding a few tears
Releasing a real smile
Through the eyes of a warrior
Not afraid of the pain and struggles
Exposing yourself to the world like an underexposed blurriness of a picture
Showing your battle scars but not dwelling on them
Looking forward to a better future
You are a warrior even if it’s hidden like a buried treasure
Ashly Kocher Apr 2019
Hide and seek
Waiting for the right time
To take a peek
For now I’ll just wait and see
For the right time
To take that leap...
Of faith
Oh, come and find me
Ashly Kocher Feb 2018
Hiding behind your smile
Won’t get you anywhere
Faking it for hours of the day
Trying to mask the pain
Who are you fooling
Lying your life away
Wipe off the fake smile
Remove the mask
Show the world your flaws
Hidden insecurities
Self doubt and no confidence
For then you can be embraced
By the world around you and
Be happy
At last
Ashly Kocher Aug 2018
Always in the background
           Never to be found
Yet always seem to be in the spotlight
           Standing on solid ground...
We all know someone like this....
