The last Poet
Do you ever just ponder
And wonder of life
The splender of nature
Of wildlife?
Nature is a wonder
Life is beautiful

It’s okay to hurt.
To wake with silence in your chest,
To feel the weight and call it rest.
Pain is not weakness — it’s proof you feel.
And feeling, love, is how you heal.

You’re not too soft, or far too deep,
Not wrong for crying when you sleep.
This world may try to dim your light—
But your shadows make you burn more bright.

You’ve walked through storms that bent your spine,
And still, you rise, time after time.
That ache you carry in your bones
Has shaped a fire all your own.

Forgiveness isn't letting go
Of truth, or saying “it was so.”
It’s giving yourself what you deserve:
Peace without needing to serve.

Let sadness come — let tears release.
That, too, is part of making peace.
You don’t have to smile to be strong.
You’ve been a warrior all along.

And when the path feels lost, unsure,
Remember: you are shaped, not pure.
Not broken, no — but being made
Of deeper light, and softer blade.

So trust your pace. Reclaim your name.
There’s nothing weak in rising changed.
You are the powerful, the few—
And someone else is watching you.

Let them see how strength can cry.
How grace can stand, and not ask why.
How healing isn’t always loud—
But you, dear girl, are something proud

our moods can not help but fluctuate
        dealing with a flawed state
            sometimes quite true
                     deep blue
                    then bright
                luminous white
         can take over our senses
leaving us with actually no defenses
eventually the stars
all darken and die

there at the edge
of sea and sky

life is a voice
and silence death

divisible between
beat and breath

Silence is not
a weakness.

It's only an act
of non-violence.

In a whisper
Is how I’ll go,
Further drifting
Static as snow.

The less that they know,
The more honor I’ll keep,
Dragging my last thoughts
Into an endless last sleep.

Don’t break the glass
I don’t want to wake,
No matter the violence of your shake
Let me rest, let me stay.

In a whisper,
The last words carried
Kissing your ears by way of zephyr
This is how I’ll go,
Further drifting,
Static as snow.

As dreams start to fade
Replaced with the infinite black
Silence echoes memories
Like ghosts haunting holographic.

Catch the syncopated beats
As my heart drums to a stop.
A beat for your heart strings
Now play the music to send me off
A reverie of soft melodies
As you lower me, under the oak trees.

In a whisper,
Under canopies
Is how I’ll go,
Will you remember me?
You ever have a dream that you’re going to die? I did and before I go back tk bed I had to write it out.

I wish I lacked empathy.
I don’t want to feel.
I don’t want to see signs.
I don’t want to be real.

One minute, I’m fine—
then my soul explodes in my chest.
I wish I didn’t see that.
But I did. And now, no rest.

I wish I could shrug,
say “that’s not my concern,”
but every flicker of pain
Causes my stomach to hurt.

I notice the silence,
the shift in your tone—
there's nothing in your voice
It's all I think about alone.

This is why I'm standoffish and stick to just me
There's no ache in loneliness
At least not the kind that stings

Maybe I'll make friends but that feels like betrayal
These self imposed rules- a safe fortress failure

I wish I didn’t feel
At least not to this extent
My day was going so good
But I ruined it again
But I'm healing
So I have to feel it
I'll be fine tomorrow
And then I'll repeat it

I held you in silence where words wouldn’t stay,
Loved you in moments you drifted away.
No promises asked, no reasons why—
Just a quiet forever beneath the sky.

If you never return, still know it’s true:
All that I was, I gave to you.
