Sometimes you have to move on
You clean up the shards
Tread carefully
Cherish yesterday
Sometimes you can't fix what is broken
Life is short but even more so when
arguing and fighting is a priority
More important to live fully
When you are a broken you you learn to play differently even if you do that alone but not lonely
c@Rainbowchaser2018

Spoken from experience on all fronts
If it's not there
It's not worth the time, effort, or pain involved
You are so much more and if that isn't enough
Noted or accepted
Don't go chasing love regardless of the source or sources
Either it finds you or its not worth the time or effort
Why should you feel as if you don't matter?
Don't go chasing love

C@rainbowchaser2023

You threw it to the wind
Gusts of regret and unfinished business  
You are good enough to live your life
Muddling through is never satisfying  
The mannequin way of the going with the flow just doesn't suit you  
You are a Maverick and that  is just fine
You fell in love and learned to love yourself as well
It's your mind to change
Aren't you tired of standing still  with shoe prints all over you?
Excuses be gone
Carry on

C@Rainbowchaser2018

Loyal
True
Warrior heart
Private and caring
Quiet and introspective
Traveller and explorer
Small groups not loud noisy crowds
Exception concerts and Broadway shows
Just the way it is
Just the way she is

Watch the rain glisten on the yellow leaves as the sun tries to come out
Even on the windiest and colder days in December her leaves are full of sunshine
Every shade of yellow but lemony and lovely
As you watch the rain circles near the ducks in the pond
The warmer days of December come back to your memories
As the cities come back to life with visitors
As Christmas, Kwanza, and Chanukah celebrations take their shape
The Beech tree kept me company and happy on a lonely December day
Reminding me of better days to come

He seems to know when it is being prepared by the aroma.
The human guy enjoys it and he waits for a slice or two
that he will share
His human mom hates meatloaf and doesn't tell her it's a hamburger because it is not.
For her husband and Pups, she will acquiesce.
Now and then
Pups eat meatloaf.

C@rainbowchaser2023

Change isn't always easy
You enjoy what is and what was
What is around the corner is another matter
Perhaps a narrative you would rather not deal with
Yet, you deal
Another four letter word
Not like the others?
Or is it?
The Constant.

C@rainbowcaser2023

We cry for those we have lost and will forever love
The next time the rain falls no matter the pace
No matter where you might be
Take it as a sign ,feeling, or reminder
Knowing in your heart
That they too are crying for you
So look for that rainbow that they send to make it a better day

C@rainbowchaser2023

Differences are important and what makes life worth living
A cookie-cutter existence with everything and everyone the same besides being mundane and boring is useless
The balance was cut off by being defined as red or blue in our thinking
Change and progress moving forward is the very best direction we can provide ourselves with
Learn from History but leave it in the past with your memories
The word woke makes me what to croak
If you want to live in another time and place in the past good for you
What makes us better is moving in the right direction and that is forward

C@rainbowchaser2023

There is no number high enough
And if there were it still would never explain the love we share
So no matter the hurdle
So no matter the delay or interruption
So no matter the storm
We weather it
Stronger
Everlasting
Confident
So incredibly sure
My Love, this is your new love song
with every beat of my heart

C@rainbowchaser2023

They are suspect
If you don’t take
Givers need not apply
Sorry folks takers are not my speed
They are an accident waiting to happen
Narcissistic beings need not apply
Giving feels right
We need to do so much more
Taking feels like a lie

C@rainbowchaser2021

The happiest
The most memorable
Good Health and Joy
Last year was difficult and this year is so much better
We are Survivors but not free for five years
We are grateful and kindness is by far the very best gift
No matter what you celebrate Enjoy!
The Very Best of Everything in 2024 and Always!

C@rainbowchaser2023

Sometimes Mother Nature and Father Sky
Sometimes muses come from unexpected places
The bullied lonely little girl became a published poet
She continues and cheers on children like herself that are loners
Highly sensitive and creative
Never fit the mold
Maybe it was broken
Not sure about the next step other than when I take it
I won’t leap

C@rainbowchaser2022

You might not approve of the action
The words might sting and hard to believe or difficult to digest
Acceptance takes awhile
Is it worth a sleepless night?
People change for better or worse
Mourning what was is futile
Move forward and if things are meant to be or improve
So be it
If not
Keep it to yourself and Journey on

Reimagine
Imagine
Reboot
Boot
Refinish
Finish
Redevelopnent
Devel­op
Creativity and Originality?

C@rainbowchaser 2023

In the quiet
In the stillness
Sun rising and shining
Being grateful and appreciative
Sometimes even that is not enough
But if you are thankful for another day to try again
Another chance to love your family and friends
Another chance to contribute to the world making it better
and brighter
Enjoy your day because you earned it

C@Rainbowchaser2023

The world is splitting
How painful and scary
History repeats itself and they don't accept or acknowledge it
One country,one people,people,
In my heart United forever dropping politics and religion
Least this writer believes that
Losing two great friends and a parent
STANDING taller and stronger in their memories and for myself
I love  you baby even more
MY greatest treasure and gift that keeps sharing
Even more

C@rainbowchaser2022

Watched rain ripples in syncopation with the ducks quacking
It is raining like April
Tears falling everyday
Wasn't that long ago or far away
Strangest weather in April
But it is first week of May

C@rainbowchaser2021

You were completely unexpected.
My heart had been trampled upon and I was broken.
You were patient and caring.
A very good friend who became my best friend as well as the love of my life.
Sometimes things were easy.
There have been hurdles and roadblocks.
Sad Goodbyes and Lovely Welcomes.
If I had to  do it all over again,
it would be with you.
Only you.

C@rainbowchaser2023

When you have been thrown under the bus too often
When you are ignored like a once loved toy
When the words no longer have meaning
It is not the way you wanted it to be
Yet,it is what it is
Sometimes never applies and the door is hermitcally sealed because dealing with the pain makes no sense anymore

c@rainbowchaser2019

Let's hope it isn't our last one
Merritt Garland when you recover from surgery and all is well
Please do what needs to be done
No need to spell it out but rhymes with Dump
He and his cast of characters are not above the law


C@rainbowchaser2022

History
Herstory
Differences
Similarities
Believe
Care
Belong to the human race
Yesterday, today,and tomorrow matters
Move with grace and stylr

Friends are running a marathon in it today with raingear handy.
Ducks were racing and splashing without a care.
How waterproof are their feathers?
Others walk their dogs soe dogs wearing their fashionable raincoats and booties.
Many drive to their Saturday plans which are now indoors.
Hearing lyrics to every song about rain from film to rock to theater.
Left tunes home since umbrella and hood get in the way and impossible to get a clear signal.
Rain brings drop zones.
Walking in the the rain.

C@Rainbowchaser2023

Not for lack of words
Not for lack of ideas and fresh takes
The Muse is around when he or she wants to be
I think there are two in my life
When I touched Henry David's desk at Walden
It was an epiphany and yet I wished he could speak with me
That is what happens when the words stay with the muse at least this one

C@rainbowchaser2023

So Tiny and determined
With every bit of energy will make it into the ocean
Cheering the little ones on
Go,Baby Turtle

Bird fluttering by my window
Squirrel stopping to look my way after feasting on nuts and treats left by the tree
Our Two year old niece being kissed by a nine week old puppy to her delight
Walking hand and hand with our nieces grown and small
Awe, Sigh, and Grateful moments

C@rainbowchaser2023

The last four years have been beyond comprehension but no matter what I have heard and experienced the words stay positive.
Many things have changed but having heart and calm saves the day.
Some things stay the same and for others, you adapt to the times and issues as best you can.
There is so much to see and do.
If you have given up, please don't think of taking me with you.
I will remain protectively positive.

C@rainbowchaser2023

I learned the truth at 65
That love and laughter have survived
Nothing in this world is free
This Ugly Duckling becomes a swan when he looks at me
When you open up the spaces that yesterday and time erases
Sometimes you go it alone
Lonely is like a discarded bone
Guess it’s true, I survived the pain
Since then love is different but yet the same
Maybe happy to be alive at 65
We jump the hurdles and find a way to thrive
We live life completely in awe
For all, we have been through and never really saw
Doesn’t matter about not being called when choosing sides for basketball
Now, it's golf, tennis, or pickleball
At 65
At 65

Onyx trees viewing the shades gently exploding and aligning above them as if reaching out.
Crepe, Flamingo, Lemonade, Rose, Taffy

Empathy
Sympathy
Know tbe difference
No matter the experience or situation
Empathy stands out
You can care
You can relate and understand
Respect privacy
Knowing the difference makes the wrongs and sorrow easier
to digest and accept
Making a wrong right is not easy

C@rainbowchaser2022

No longer want to be a doormat
Co-Dependency doesn’t work for me
The way you live your life and see the world
Is a journey which leads me to no where or anywhere I choose to be
May all of your dreams come true
May good health and happiness befriend you and yours
We have had yesterdays but no tomorrows
Been there
Done that
Letting go
My life is not a show on MeTV
C@rainbowchaser2018

Caught that smile in a crowd
The one that froze me in time
You did not notice
Doubt you even cared
The echo of you saying Another time and place
came roaring back like a roller coaster in reverse
We were very young
We knew you wouldn’t act
In a moment the lime changed and yesterday was gone
Like you left me then and forever more

C@rainbowchaser2019

They wouldn't play with her because her skin was brown
Another wore a religious symbol intertwined with another
A door slammed in her face
Not chosen for a team and shunned
See they didn't understand because she was different
Nobody would stop her
She rose and continues to rise
No challenge deterred her
Like many of us
She wasn't like the others
Different is not accepted
Seen as bad and not like the flow
Cookie cutter only please
That little girl is out Vice President elect
Madam Vice President Harris
So many little girls Thank you
So does this little girl

A Hail and Hearty Farewell
Watching warm-ups and walking to the paddock
Horses and many colors
He spent forty years here
A bee stung him while watching a race outside
The tote board holds amazing moments and memories
He was a Harness owner and spectator
Four Starz Lights won the Jersey Sire Stakes
He won third leg and tne final race
Freehold Raceway has History and Soul
Sad to see that Nostalgic look on so many faces
So many enjoyed being part of the Afternoon Delight
Saying Goodbye to an old friend is not easy
Thanks to all of you
that played a part here
Farewell Freehold Raceway
Here's to you and the Last Race

If you don't care for and about yourself what good are you to your family and loved ones
Hard lesson learned when you are a giving and loving person that puts themselves last most of the time
Looked deeper inside and made a little time for me though it isn't easy for me

C@Rainbowchaser2023

Used to walk in Harmony
Melody has changed
Lyrics have a far different meaning
The chorus means what it used to but somehow you forgot the words that you sang at the top of your lungs
Still friends but the Music has changed
It is sad but moving forward time has gone away
You are lost in a shuffle where we had yesterday
Not sure ahout today or tomorrow
You are here and there
Yet far away
The Music has changed not the memories
The Journey continues but not sure  of us because the Music has changed as the friendshilp is stuck in another time and place


C@rainbowchaser2024

Are you a card-carrying member of the Scapegoat Society?
They live in another time and place.
Archie Bunker lives
How about a world where cynicism disappears
Ron DeSantis disappears
Where being nice is so much more than being important
Hearts and minds work together as one for  the good of all
The superiority issue is on the wrong side
Sorry I am walking with Nature on the right side
Isn't that what we are supposed to be
doing?
History will only repeat itself if we don't learn from it
Scapegoats

C@rainbowchaser2023

We share a surname
We share a life
We bid fond farewells to many but keep them in our hearts
We have a love others may never know
You gave me your heart
You gave me a diamond
We travel and continue more journeys and adventures
We have been patient but it will come around again
You show me love that others wish for and may never encounter
We welcomed new faces and family
We are way Beyond Thank you
And yet, you Thanked me for breakfast earlier today

C@rainbowchaser2024

Introduced you to my boyfriend
Besides being  magical and soulful
His place in my life was unexpected but delightful
Your comment that mattered so very much was You can do better
Better became best because my beloved became my husband
Utilize mouth when brain is engaged and in gear

C@rainbowchaser2021

The world revolved differently
The air was sweet and clear
Cold but not intolerable
Music was pure and joyful
A quiet yet momentous celebration
Unexpected but so much more than appreciated
Our worlds intertwined while others collided
We did not notice them
In an instant there were only two
Me and you
Still and forever more

C@rainbowchaser2021

Enabler
Martyr
Perpetuator
Guilty as charged but finally able to file it away and throw it to the wind
Traveling forward

Joy
Peace
Love
Kindness multiplied
Care
Sweetness
Happiness
Happy and Healthy New Year
If you celebrate or.not
Be careful
Be safe
Make choices good for all not some

You can be devoted
You can be kind
You can be considerate
You can be loyal and true
Then a curve ball is thrown to upset the apple cart
Learn how to catch it
Better still throw your own and redirect it

C@rainbowchaser 2023

Empathize
Realize
All you can do is really listem
Don't think about what to say
Right now your words don"t matter anyway
You are saying to your friend you love them
Wishing you could hug them and be by their side
No matter what they are dealing with or going through
Sometimes listening is the very best thing that you can do

C@rainbowchaser2023

Dew point and humidity brings out wilting rag doll
Bust through other days but this one was different
So many wanting to live life and celebrate and yet the Fat Lady has not sung yet
Waiting to belt out a ballad or two when all are vaccinated and then you can't be sure
You really can't be so have your bad days and enjoy the others
Bad day

C@rainbowchaser2021

Just enjoy it all
No fuss no muss
No awards though they are nice
Concentrate on what makes your heart happy
Singing in the car
Laughing at a memory
Savoring the greatest dessert of
all
Love
Easy and the pleasure is that enjoying it strengthens you more than you will ever know
Easy
Facil mis amigos
