To find the light in a darkened cave, may be difficult but suddenly realizing, it’s your heart that shines bright showing you the way...
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Where the light and darkness meet at the same time...
Casting shadows above and below
....sunrise...
...sunset....
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Why me?
Why them?
Why us?
It is only God
Pushing us
To our limits...

Liquid rain falling
From your eyes
Sunshine glowing
From inside
Your heart
Forever mine
Ashly Kocher Apr 2019
Liquid strength running through my veins
Releasing the hurt, draining the pain
One droplet  at a time
Before you know it
All will be fine
Rejuvenation
Being saved
Restarting
Life
With
Me
Ashly Kocher Apr 2022
Hear the whispers
Listen to them cry  
Softly telling you
“Everything is alright”
Ashly Kocher May 2021
Listening to the words flow out of your mouth, like a ruptured water pipe that you can’t turn off. Spilling over, flooding around, trying to fix the problem, yet not wanting it to stop. Emotions build, anxiety sky high, drowning in sorrows, life flying by…STOP the madness, fix the pain, tread the waters of the life you need to regain. Take a step back, look around, opening your heart to what’s going to be found. Don’t live in the past, live in the moment, reaching for your tomorrows that will fill you with hope. Your stronger than you know, your braver than you think, dream the (Im)Possible, your challenges are your dreams!

A little bird came to me
Saying “ it’s ok, and you too will be”
Time will soar just like me
Stay calm and you will see
When in doubt
Just look out
There I’ll be
Giving you the calming feeling
That you will need
Just wait and look for me
As I am alone while my husband drives his mom to Florida, I’m
Trying to keep busy as we are also having a winter storm. I was feeling alone and I glanced out my patio window and a little bird flew unto my patio light, looking Into the door and singing... just in that moment, as dumb as it may be, I felt a sudden calmness, like this little bird was telling me everything is alright and time will fly by...

A Robin sitting on the back of a chair
Not a worry or a care
Enjoying the warm springlike air
Oh little birdie would you like to share...
Save a spot for me on the back of the chair
So we can sit together not have a worry or care
Keeping one another company in the warm springlike air
Oh little birdie.....

Today is your wedding day and
All though I can not be there
I wanted to show up and play
So snow I send you as you start your new life
Showing you how much I care as you become a wife
Your flower girl I will be from heaven
Making your day as precious as me
Snow softly falling will show you my love
All the way from heaven above
Ashly Kocher Dec 2019
I do hate the cold
I do hate the snow
But the tiny little icicles
Really make a glow

Dangling off the branches
Lightly covered in snow
Makes for a beautiful sight
When the day turns to night

Not a fan of the cold
Not a fan of the snow
But something about the darkness
Makes light shine through the morning glow
Ashly Kocher Jun 2017
Little red riding hood I will play
I'll take you on an adventure as we f*ck  all day
You tease me so
Getting me close
Run your lips down
Down my body
Making me shiver
Turning me on
Making me wet
I flip you over and slide it in
Riding it slow
As you beg for more
Rub me hard
Make me drip
Ride it hard
Like were dancing in rhythm
Hearing the pounding like drums on our bodies
Screaming at the top of our lungs
**** it feels good
Slow it down as we release
Our juices flow
Taste so good
Lets go again
You take the lead
You grasp my hair
And pull me close
Better get a raincoat because
               CAUTION
            YOU
                 MAY
           GET
                WET....
Just a little something that came to my head. Kinda hot.
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
I feel so low
When you don’t talk to me so
Not giving me water
Allowing me to grow
Digging the hole deeper
Guess I’m not your keeper
This way is much cheaper
I’ll look for another keeper
One who loves me
Someone will see
From a little seed
Who will water and take care of me
I’ll be loved and grow into a beautiful tree
Just you wait and see
Ashly Kocher Dec 2019
Don’t just live in the moment but live for the moments that have yet to come
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
Live from the experience not let the experience let you live in sadness.
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
You are brought into this world as a individual
To learn
To grow
To make mistakes
To fall and rise
To make a change
Be a voice
Make a statement
To be YOU
Love yourself
Love your life
Live everyday
Learn everyday
Make everyday count for something
In the end you will feel amazing in what you have accomplished....
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
I tried to talk to you
But got no response
I thought you were rude
But that you were not
You didn’t understand
Couldn’t comprehend
Looked at me in confusion
Eyes glazed over, like water over sand
Then something clicked
I raised my hand
Waved it at you
A smile, is where it began
You weren’t being rude
You just didn’t respond
You didn’t understand me
Because silence is all you know
Even if you can’t communicate in the same way
A smile, a nod, a wave, is just ok
Don’t jump to conclusions about someone you don’t know
Living in silence, is harder then you could imagine or know...
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
For I look to the sky
See one lonely star
Knowing it’s you
Missing me too
Ashly Kocher Jun 2018
Look left: Say hi to a stranger
Look right: Say hi to a friend
Look down: Say hi to the critters
Look up: Say hi to all your loved ones
Look back: Say goodbye to your past
Look forward: Say hello to your future
Ashly Kocher Jun 2022
Nothing is wrong
Nothing is right
Maybe everything is right
And nothing is really wrong
All about comes down to perspective and how you personally look at the things around you
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
Do you look at me
              and
Think happy thoughts
              Or
Do you see pure regret
In the choices you made...
Ashly Kocher Sep 2019
Forever

Look....
Way up in the night sky...
That shining star twinkling so bright...
That’s my dad waving and saying hello...
Dear Lord, do I miss him so...

When you see a twinkling star in the night sky
Look up smile, wave and say hi
It may be your loved ones or someone else’s
But it’s someone looking down from heaven saying hello and protecting you from high above...
Hello to all the shining and twinkling stars
Thank you for watching over us from a far
Ashly Kocher Sep 2019
Look closely and you will see
A little squirrel hiding within the leaves
High above on a small branch in the tree
Look closely or you may miss me
Ashly Kocher Sep 2019
Sitting alone in a quiet place
Tears start to stream down my face
When I think of you, missing you
Wishing I could just see you
Suddenly, to my surprise, you were there right before my eyes
A beautiful butterfly
A radiant cardinal
A pure white feather
A colorful rainbow
Look for the signs when you need it the most
They are always with you helping you cope
If you listen closely
You just may hear them
Whispering “I Love You” in your ear...
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Looking forward
Never looking back
If you continue to look back
You’ll drive right off the track
Spinning out of control
Heading backwards, losing mobility
For you should always look forward
Then hopefully your vision won’t be blurred
Ashly Kocher Sep 2017
Always look forward
Never look back
For if you look back
You may miss something that's in front of you
Ashly Kocher Jan 2018
Clouds roll in upon the night
Snow is falling
Casting shadows through the night
Waking up to snow fallen on the ground
Kids are happy since school is out
Snow has faded away from dawn through the day
Leaving a mess behind for us to clean away
Temperatures keep dropping but look to the sky
Beautiful colors are passing by
Pinks and purples flow magically in the sky
Painting a majestic picture as we settle in and say goodbye
Goodbye to today
Hello to tomorrow
What exuberant future will be given to us when we look
Just once more....

Ashly Kocher Oct 2018
Static noise
        Haunting feeling
Pit in my stomach
        Losing control
All alone
         Emptiness
Inside my head
Ashly Kocher Jul 2019
Losing control
The air is thick
Cutting the tension
With a sharp knife
Hard to breath
Losing strife
Oxygen low
Help me
Anxiety
Out
Of
Control
Ashly Kocher Aug 2021
Losing control isn’t a form of failure, it’s called being human and understanding when it’s ok to take a step back and take control of yourself again…
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
Losing touch
      within yourself
          While trying to
               help others with
                     their insecurities

Learn to put yourself first
       Before helping others
        That maybe don’t want to
                help themselves
Always put yourself first especially when others don’t want the help they need or want.
Ashly Kocher Dec 2017
Month to month
     Having hope
Wanting something so bad
     Yet never happening
I think I’ve come to terms
      It’s not meant to be
Why did this happen to me?
            I live by the quote
“Everything happens for a reason “
      But I’m starting to lose hope
Accepting Gods plan
      That I will never become a parent
Holding a child in my hands....
Ashly Kocher Mar 2021
You don’t lose yourself, although you may get lost but don’t fear those you have lost along the way, it makes you stronger when you  stand out knowing you’ll be okay...
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
Speechless
Silence
Overwhelmed
Emptiness
Broken hearted

That feeling of losing something that you couldn’t even feel or touch yet....
For all those who have lost a baby at any point of pregnancy..... I wrote this for you...
Ashly Kocher Jul 2020
Loss completely stops you in your tracks and ruins your life’s adventures but yet at the same time is a learning experience opening your eyes shining a light onto the darkest of times....
Ashly Kocher Oct 2020
Darkness grows each day
Knowing that you’ve gone away
A loss is a loss no matter what people say
Whether in the early stages, close to giving birth or only here for a couple days
No matter how it happened
No matter how long it was
It’s that haunting feeling that will never disappear
(Your heart is crushed)
It may not be something you personally want to share
But for me writing is helping me heal
So many out there have suffered from this tremendous pain
One thing we all can agree on together
Our losses, are now our angels that we have gained....
For all those who have had miscarriages, still births or have lost their babies. I am here for you. I know the struggle. It’s hard. It *****. It’s haunting.

Ashly Kocher Sep 2021
It’s ok to feel lost because sometimes being lost actually leads you to the path your meant to find…
Ashly Kocher Oct 2020
I feel
Lost
Drowning
In my own
Tears
That I’ve yet
To cry
As they fill
Up inside
Of me
Getting ready to
Burst like a
Teapot steaming
On the stovetop
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
I may look lost and no clue of what I’m doing....

.....but if you were only in my head and could see my dreams brewing....
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Living in a world where you always seem lost, gets you nowhere...
...maybe you should change your way of living and find what’s been lost....
Ashly Kocher Aug 2020
Feeling lost
Loss for words
Doing your best
Yet it’s never enough
Trying your hardest
Getting picked on
That’s it
I’m done
Ashly Kocher Jan 2022
How can you forgive
When you’ve lost something
You’ve always wanted the most
Ashly Kocher Mar 2020
I get lost in the music

I get lost with you

I get lost in my dreams

I get lost through dance


Sometimes being “lost” doesn’t mean your really lost, it means your escaping from something to detoxify yourself with something that you love
Ashly Kocher Sep 2020
Why do I worry so much?

Because I worry about the things I lost or love...
Ashly Kocher Oct 2018
I’m crying for help
But without making a sound
Am I’m really crying for help
If my mouth is shut and hands are bound
Someone please find me now
Otherwise I’ll be left in a box called
“Lost but not ever found”
I don’t know why I wrote this.. just came to me in the perspective of those who are lost but are never found...
