The world becomes
ugly as time passes
but there's still beauty

It's an ugly place, but I still believe there is beauty here.

One should be steadfast
when they bear the
fruits of peace.

Peace is beyond so much value. Unfortunately, we live in a world that there is never any profit in peace.

Lesson Learned #41

We all have a flame in us.
One that is unique in
colour and fuelled
by your passions.
Don't choose
to die before
sharing its
light and
its heat.

This is something I keep telling myself anytime my mind is in a dark place and I nearly do something reckless. We're all unique. Share what your passionate about to add to the world.

The heart is the same as glass.
As strong as it may be, once
it begins to crack, it's harder
for it to heal, let alone
trust.

Everyone's different but pain keeps one on their toes...

The Beauty of Scars

Lyn-Purcell Oct 2017

The Beauty of Scars

Upon every body of man and woman alike

are scars. While we are walking memories,

the scars are marks of various journeys

that life inflicts. While we trudge and trudge

and trudge and trudge, our true selves

scream to be heard. To be free of the demons

born in the wombs of the mind and heart.

Life inflict scars. Scars sing with stories.

And stories are all that live on in the end

for we never truly die, as our legends

survive.

Every scar on us is a reminder that we are stronger than we give ourselves credit for

Wounds

It's difficult to ask someone about their pain,
For them to express what burdens them so
but sharing your own with someone else?
Even harder...

Growth

Lyn-Purcell Aug 2018

Growth

Humans are gardeners.
If we don't tend to our garden,
nothing will happen and
weeds will blossom.
Then we will doubt if our gardens
will ever be beautiful
It is through trial and error,
that our confidence will build.

An old poem I found! ^-^

Beauty in the rain
Tender hug bathes me in light

Who says I can't dream?
Love you guys!
Be back soon!

Upon the Wings of a Dream

Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017

Upon the Wings of a Dream

The talk

                            of      the        day
         is always a blur                        to  me.
    I'm always under  its                               gaze.
   I prefer the song of the night.
  When the stars are  out,
and the moon is high,
I know my time is nigh.
For I know I walk along
   side the night, side by side.
        Hand in hand. My
               beautiful day is a             luminous
                       night.    And                     I
                                           drift...

                                                                  Upon the Wings of a Dream

Farewell

Lyn-Purcell Jul 2017

Farewell

When the world washes all in flames, and faith is lost
When screams shatter the skies, and swallows the light
Look to the stars, Dear Heart, and listen.
For I will forever love you
And I will forever guide you.

Feeling melancholic today...

Thought

Lyn-Purcell Jun 2018

Thought

I know people who are
afraid of being a thought

For what happens to a thought
once it's all forgotten?

Sad how people will do anything and everything for a bit of attention now...
I hate this generation so much...
Be back soon.

Hope

Let go of lost past
Heaven's gate brings much joy
My heart is hopeful

Just woke up and strangely, I'm feeling hopeful.
I usually dwell on the past but now, it's like I'm being pushed towards the my future.
I did have a dream where I was flying and I saw Heaven's gates so maybe that contributed to it!

Crown of Light

If given the opportunity to wear a
true crown of light and life, I will
gladly trample on the crown of
the world.

One of my mottos!
Theres only so much material things can do.
I understand that people want to have things they never hand but I've noticed there will always be a void there...
