Busyness
SiouxF Sep 2020
Always keeping busy
No time
To stop and stare
No time
To hear and smell
No time
To touch and feel
No time
To appreciate beauty all around
No time
To support those less fortunate
No time
For joy
No time
At all
Only time
To be busy
Silly fool,
For time slips through fingers like dust
Ever advancing towards the end
Upon the final judgement
Reflecting on your life’s work
Knowing you fully lived
Or were dead
Years before your time

Choice
SiouxF Sep 2020
We create ourselves through our thoughts, words and deeds
We have choice in every given moment
Choice to look forward with hope or fear
Or to the past with its demons
Choice to choose the right path to enlightenment
Or the slippery ***** to hell,
Choose wisely
Love
Or
Fear
What choose you?

Regrets
SiouxF Sep 2020
Regrets.
Such a wasted emotion
For what can you do
About what is past.
Certainly you can choose to examine what happened
But objectively
In terms of cause and reaction
Explore what was said and done that led to x, y, z,
That way you can stop repeating
Your sins  
And choose a different path
A healthier way
For you
For me
For the universe

You Are Not Your Past
SiouxF Sep 2020
I’m still here.
I’m still alive.
What happened,
Doesn’t change who I am.
I’ve been living in
My uncomfortable comfort zone
It’s just what I’m used to
Its familiar
But now I’m ready
To step outside
And to be an active participant
In my life
A protagonist
With all my passions and desires
And to live my life
With intent
And with
Love
SiouxF Sep 2020
There is an alternative way
To the barbed words
Catty comments
And sharp claws.
There is an alternative possibility
To the aggressive words
Constant fights
Hard lost battles
Born of fear,
And oh so tiring now.
I’m ready
To let my guard down
To reveal my vulnerability
To come home.

Put your claws away
Wipe your tears
Relax into the warm embrace
You are safe now
Your are home now
You are at peace now

Cords
SiouxF Sep 2020
How do I break these cords
To my past experiences and bitter memories
That keep raising their ugly heads
That keep me playing small
That keep messing up
a ******* good friendship?

Soul’s Embrace
SiouxF Sep 2020
Relax into the embrace
Soul’s embrace
All encompassing embrace
Of divine love
The oh so powerful
Feminine energy,
Breathe
Into the deep warming embrace
Knowing you are safe
Protected
And loved
Very much

I’m Tired
SiouxF Sep 2020
I’m tired of fighting,
I’m tired of living my life from the past,
I’m tired of putting myself through such torment and pain and fear and confusion,
Spooking myself at every twist and turn,
And then wondering what the **** happened
When it all turns sour, again.
I’m ready to start taking charge of my life and my destiny
Right here, right now,
I’m ready to step into the now.
But how?

Thank You
SiouxF Aug 2020
Thank you
From the bottom of my heart
For being there
For being by my side
For being so strong
For lending me your strength
For allowing me to lean on you
Through these temporary yet troubled storms
Once crushed by others
But now of my causing
And my choice to cease
When I remember to
Rise above, easily and consistently

Thank you
For believing in me
For truly believing in me
For supporting me
No matter what
In spite and because of my many dementors
Who, with your help, I am kicking into touch!

Thank you
For caring
For sharing
For giving me so much of your time
For showing me there’s another way
For showing me the way

Thank you
For being there

Thank you
For being you

My heartfelt thanks and gratitude
As the mists begin to clear
And the dawning of a new age beckons.....

Lack of Intimidation
SiouxF Aug 2020
I can see now
How you were not intimidated by the lashing out
From her own hidden agenda
Fighting others people’s fights
Instead of her own,
Born of fear
Of her dementor,
Fears
That we all buy into
So easily, too easily.

And then there was I,
So naturally and easily,
Yet surprisingly,
Helping her shape and bend her lightening rod
With love, acceptance and understanding
To set her on her way
On a new direction
To sail the seas to who know where
But one of her choosing
And also knowing the door’s still unlocked
If and when the time is right

And Breathe...
SiouxF Aug 2020
I breathe in & my body relaxes
I breathe out & I let go
I breathe in & my body is calm
I breathe out & I smile

Hard Fought
SiouxF Aug 2020
It’s been a long ole winding road
Yet now all the sweeter
And the rewards much the greater
For all the hard fought challenges along the way

Everything
SiouxF Aug 2020
Everything you do
Everything you say
Everything you feel
Everything that happens to you
Is for you
For your lesson
For your greater good.
Your words create your world
So choose your words and
Your actions
Carefully
And
With
Love
Compassion
And
Respect

The Gift of Reading
SiouxF Aug 2020
Teaching your child to read
Is one of the greatest gifts
You can offer them,
Along with love of course.

Instilling a love of reading
Opens their innocent eyes to
Exploration
Excitement
Adventures  
Dreams and
Limitless
Possibilities

It enables them
To find a way
To articulate
To visualise
To create
their own magical world
Borne of imagination,
But no less real for the imagining of

Enabling them to create
A vision and a realisation
Of a whole new world
Borne of imagination
And ways of being
Of futures anew, and
Ones of their making
And choosing
Aug 2020 · 117
Freedom
SiouxF Aug 2020
I am free now
I let go of old memories no longer serving me
I overwrite old habits holding me back
My future is of my choosing
I am free now
And of such unforeseen immense worth and power
You’d better watch out!

Follow
SiouxF Aug 2020
Follow the less worn path
To your dream destination,
Follow in the footsteps of
those who inspire you
who you want to be
where you want to be,
Copy what they did
Until you can blaze your own trail
In your own way
And achieve success
On your terms
Aug 2020 · 13
You Can Ask
SiouxF Aug 2020
You can ask
For something
Easily
Directly
Unconditionally
With no attachment to the answer
No control
On how they respond
As that is their prerogative
And choice

No more feelings of
Guilt
Shame
Unworthiness
Who am I to ask for help
Just a straightforward request
And a straightforward answer
Yes
Or
No

Direction of Focus
SiouxF Aug 2020
If what you focus on
You attract,
Knowing
Your desire is
The path of success,
Then why do you
Gaze upon others’ mistakes
In the mistaken belief
That you’ll avoid them
When all it will do
Is lead to the
Repetition of?

Instead
Focus on
The Joy
The Abundance
The Success
That you so desire
To start
Attracting more of this
Into your life.
Learn your own lessons
On your journey
Rather than repeat the
Mistakes of others

And do you not see
Your true desire is not indeed to focus on mistakes
But instead
To be free
To fly
To soar,
So take my outstretched hand
Follow me
And I will lead you to your dreams

Ready When You Are
SiouxF Aug 2020
When you’re ready to step up
And show up
Be who you’re meant to be
Do what you’re meant to do,
I’ll be here for you
Ready and willing
To support you
And guide you
And show you the way.
You’ll know when you are ready
To unbuckle and untie
The bonds that restrict you
That hold you back
And I will be waiting
For then
For you

You Are Lovely
SiouxF Aug 2020
“You are lovely”
You tell me so,
But I don’t feel so
Lovely now.
A spell
Once broken,
Like a china cup
Smashed in a thousand pieces,
Can never be
Fully whole again

But then again
It’s the glaring imperfections
The deep wounds
That makes us lovable
And empowers us to dizzy heights
And make us
Who we are
And who we are destined
To be

For being you.

Implicitly,
I love you
Deeply,
I am indebited to you
