Eyes drift
From this to that
Sharp edges protruding
From the pieces of my shattered heart
How can I hide them?
Sand them down smoothe again
Keep calm now
Step forward
Leave the past where it is
Remind myself I can
Start again

You know it's just too little too late
When the experience comes before
& the advice comes after.

It's just too little love and too late to listen.

You know how it is, like when you already fell but 10 minutes later  someone yells  "Hey!  Watch out! There's a giant crevasse under that blanket of snow!" ...because the light already went out for you,  you're broken; bleeding in agony yet who can save you when you're so far down?

You're all alone so in despair you give in to sleep.  Just then  someone remembers you from miles away but the sadness can only linger now because no one can save you from what has happened ...

just too little too late.

Who knew there was a Fibonacci sequence to a spiral shell or constellation?

Who knew the seeds of a sunflower were so intricate; 30 something this way... 53 that?

Who knew roots needed fungus
Who knew water could rise 60 ft. or more through trunks to branches, twigs and leaves?

Is your mind boggled yet?
Well thought out creation does not come about by chance

A girl once had a precious jar, it held inside all of her heart. It was filled to the top with special things, like trinkets and pictures and memories. It was painted all pink and glittery. Across the top read her name, she kept it safe behind a frame. Then one day a school friend came by,.... ever so curiously, poking around her jar of special things. Clumsily asking her what was inside, "oh it's really just nothing " she quickly replied.  Honest to God she doesn't want them to see... her very private  personal memories. Some of them good and some not so much,... "You can look at the outside but please don't touch". And this truly was all she'd ask, it shouldn't have been such a very hard task. Alas and still he waited until to the ladies powder room she wondered. He felt the glass, the glitter and paint picked it up and shook it! To the ground it shattered! All over the floor her memories were scattered. Quickly he rushed stumbling this way and that, ripping some papers stepping on glass. In the blink of an eye and it was all over, as quick as he came he ran out the front door.

What's the meaning?
The deeper meaning
The suffering and constant stress
Anxiousness is so confusing
It makes your mind a mess

So why worry about the why
Just remember the Proverbs
When you must cry
And never lean
on your own understanding
Pour out your heart
As you remember to
Never be demanding

Always remembering too
This picture
Is so much bigger
Than just me and you

So never start to worry
About the next day
Cause the next day might be
Just as bad as today

Focus on what's good and true
He clothes the lillies and feeds the birds
What makes you think
He doesn't care about you?
Prov.3:5&6, Matt 6:33 &34

Swepped away by moments of benevolence

Staring in a haze of emotions

Overflowing
tears of gratefulness

Overwhelming gratitude
for the royal excellence

Sunrise
and
Sunset

*I am in awe of you, Jehovah God

You think I'm bitter
No darling not bitter, better
I am glad the wheels are in motion
I am not bitter; only stronger
A fighter
I thank you for that
Call me not bitter
But a survivor!
A giver
Call me what you like
Call me a forgiver
A poet
A songstress
A mother
A friend
Call me a lover if that's what you wanna
But if I am a lover
I am a lover of Jehovah
Not of pleasure
Or of a persona
Judge me harshly
Judge me fair
Only remember
to look in your mirror
And I will not hold it against you
I won't remember
Because like I told you
I am not bitter
