Aimée May 2023
You turn paint smudges into smiley faces
You turn mistakes into mad genius
And wrong roads into new adventures
And dead ends? Just starting points for something better

You stare up at the stars
when others would drown in the dark
And when your worst storms rage
You thank God for life-giving rain

All the while teaching me to do the same
We are need someone who sees the beauty in the ashes and knows how to add to it
Aimée Apr 2023
When fear consumes me,


I hide from tomorrow in


The dregs of today
The longer I don't sleep, the further away tomorrow is
Aimée Apr 2023
Canyons are proof
That beauty exists
Even in the lowest places
Aimée Apr 2023
The greatest love I've ever been shown
Was to be seen at my most invisible
And to be loved at my most despicable

It sustained me til I could become
What I thought was impossible
Better, kinder, happier :)
May you find someone who loves you this way
Aimée Apr 2023
I thought I was broken
A star who watched it all but never moved
A map without a key
A compass that wouldn't point true

Until I met you,
A guide, you could never lose
You, who read me easily,
The one my heart pointed to
You are NOT broken, you just haven't found the people who make you feel whole yet
Aimée Apr 2023
The beauty of the North Star
Isn't its stillness
It is that a million light years away
Exists a star that spins
on the same axis we do
Distance means nothing in the face of common ground
Aimée Apr 2023

Sometimes God moves our mountains
To show us that He cares
^^^         ^^^
Other times, it's for the same reason
That He leaves them there
