Earth is our Blanket
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
The earth is our blanket
Even though we may not see
The comfort from the world
Protecting me
Even with disasters and unforeseen events
It’s makes us grow stronger

Reflection being a Facade
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
A reflection in a mirror is a mere image of what people see you as...
Are you the same person as the person looking back at you in your reflection or is it a facade you mask yourself with to the world....

A Change
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
A change in you
A change in me
Follow me to the garden and see
Under the flowers that grow
Just like you and me
A change in you
A change in me
We all start small
We all grow tall
Like fresh fruit off the vine
A change in you
A change in me
Take a walk through a guided path
Blink your eyes and see
A change in you
A change in me
We’ll grow up together happy
Even if our guided paths take a detour
But we all need a little
Change in you
Change in me

Angel in Disguise (repost)
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
She removes her mask
Showing off her captivating and mysteriously ice blue eyes
Want to know more, take a look inside
As she turns around she removes her cape
Unveiling her fluffy white wings as they spread her entire shoulder length
Who are you, you may ask, she replies feeling anxious and shy....
I am you guardian angel in disguise
I really am
In love with this piece and wanted to share again since it didn’t get viewed a lot.

End up with you

But ending up with you has left me thoughtlessly in love

When I grow up....
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
Remember when you were in preschool or kindergarten and the teachers asked “what do you want to be when you grow up?”
What was your answer?
Mine was “a teacher”

Did you become what you wanted to be when you grew up or did you take a complety different path?

Even though I’m not a “teacher” I was a dance teacher and gymnastics teacher for many years....

But....

I believe, even in my career path now, I am still what I wanted to be when I grew up...

Everyday I teach at least one person
Love
Kindness
Generosity
Fun fact
Something about myself
And as much more

So even if you didn’t become “what you wanted to be” maybe in some respects you still did...

Think about it....

How I Write...
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
Here’s how I write:
1. Don’t think
2. Just type/write
3. Pour your heart out
4. Don’t edit
5. Raw and real emotions
6. Enjoy

Simple and easy...(sometimes)

I just write real, raw and unedited pieces and it seems to work for me, I think.

Spark Within
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
It’s ok if your spark is losing intensity
But don’t ever let that spark go out
Take a breath or even a step back
When you are fully ready ignite that fire and let it burn higher then before
Never lose faith in yourself and
Your spark will never go dark

Getaway
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
A mini getaway for me and the hubs

Us
Going away for two days just the two of us. Nothing fancy just celebrating Christmas a little early.

Busy little bee

Thank you for blessing me with your grace

Whispers
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
Whispering willows
Dust filling the sky
Silent cries swirling by
Puff of smoke filtering out
Trying to escape from this place of doubt
I’m so lonely in here, all by myself
A pile of ash just sitting on a shelf
I see you walk by, saying hi
Whispering “I love you” as you pass by
I have never left you, I’m always right here
Feel my loving touch when you have a doubt of fear
Just a pile of ash on a mantle so high
There’s a 100% chance that you’ll hear me cry
Even though my body isn’t physical anymore
I have the same emotions as I did before
I love you, I miss you, I’m angry and sad
But no matter what, I’ll always be your dad
In times of sadness come to me
I’ll guide you through where you need to be
Even though you cannot hear me, so to speak
Feel me place a kiss upon your cheek
As you look up at my urn
As the fire place burns
Know I’m screaming from inside
Wishing I was still standing
Right by your side...
Reposting this because I love this piece so much but hasn’t had a lot of reviews or people seeing it.

True meaning of...
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
( All I want for Christmas) is

(Joy to the World)
(Silent Night)
(White Christmas)
And most of
(Peace on Earth)

Isn’t that the true meaning of the holidays?
Not “Santa “
Not “gifts”
Not being “offended “
Just love and happiness
Friends and family
Prayers and Joy

Happy Holidays

Ban this, Ban That
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
Ban this
Ban that
You can’t have this
You can’t have that
That’s offensive
That’s not right
This is why our world
Will end up in a fight
If you don’t like it
Turn it off
Don’t watch
Don’t listen
If you don’t like something
Don’t do it
Don’t eat it
What is wrong with people lately?
We all believe in something different
We all eat different food
Listen to different music
Like different things
Watch different tv or movies
Do different activities
Why can’t we all just enjoy our differences
Not ban things that others love
Ban this
Ban that
Don’t do this
Don’t do that
Let’s show some respect
As most of us will stay connect(ed)
Let’s face the facts
Bring kindness and love back

Written in the stars
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
It’s your name
That I find
Written within the stars
Falling from the sky
Lighting up my eyes
Like fireworks
In the night sky
Displaying your love
To the world and
To heaven above

Spilled Dumplings
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
Gather belongings
Coffee, leftover Chinese food
Reaching for the door
Door opens...
Dumplings fall
Container breaking
Dumpling sauce spills all over
There goes lunch
It’s going to be that kind of day...
Don’t cry over spilled dumplings

Hold it tight, with all my might
Making a wish at the close of the night

Restarting Our Lives
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
My heart drops deep down in my stomach
I hear the news and I collapse
The damage is done and there's no turning back
But now our lives are on the right track
We embark on a new journey and restart our lives
All things so precious went right before our eyes
We build a new staircase and walk to the top
We all have eachother so nothing much was lost.
7 years ago today my families house went up in flames. There’s never a good time for this to happen but when it’s your sisters birthday it makes it even worse.

Feeling the Rush
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
Feel the rush
Like your submerged under water
Freaking out and calm at the same time
Like the ****** of love
Ready to pass out
Excepting the cage
Like a flying dove

Broken Inside
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
How do you know if someone is broken if you can see inside them....
Some people are broken inside but look perfectly fine on the outside...
Don’t judge, you never know whats going on inside...

Walk Away
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
Give me one reason
Not to turn
Walk away
Leaving you
In silence
And in dismay
Hurry up
Take my hand
Let me know
It’ll all be ok
Will you just
Let me
Walk away
Giving me
No reason
To look back
As you just
Turn around
Letting me walk

Right or Wrong
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
What is right
What is wrong
We can have this discussion
All day long
Up
Down

Right
Either way
You’ll put up a fight
No way is right
No way is wrong
Just as long as
You don’t look back
Continue going forward
Moving right along

Holiday Decorations
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
Let’s see how far this can go
Share your oldest Christmas decoration that you own
Share a story of what it means to you
How many years have you had it too
Let’s spread some joy this holiday season
Everything we own or do happens for a reason
Share this post and see how far it will go
This is the reason for the season, let’s bring back the Christmas glow!
I wrote this and out this on my Facebook page with a picture of two Christmas animated dolls that have been in my family since before I was born. One I call “papa bear” after my dad and a white and gold angel that was always put on our mantle every year for the holidays. I have had them for the 10 years my husband and I have been together. They mean a lot to me!
Trying something different on social
Media to spread holiday cheer and sharing wonderful memories throughout the world.

World of Grey
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
We are born into a world of grey
Black and white
Not color
It is then at a young age do we develop any sort of color into our world
How do you see our world?
                                      Black
White
                        Grey
Color

It’s all about perception of your surroundings
Look again and the grey will turn into a colorful backdrop

Curled up Missing You
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
Find me
Curled up
In front of
The fire place
Shedding a tear
Since your not here
By my side
Snuggled up
Next to me
Looking up
At me
With your glowing eyes
Melting my heart
Oh I wish we didn’t have to say
Goodbye
Today is 4 months with our cats binx. Miss him so very much.

Crumbling world
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
Just look around
And you will see
How the world is crumbling
Right beneath our feet
Make a change
Stand up for you
Write down what you feel
It’s the right thing to do
Change won’t happen
Over night
But it’s the little things
That will make this world right
...............Again........

One Sparkler
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
One sparkler
Brings so much joy
Light it up
Hear the roar
Only last for less then a minute
Throwing off so many colors
Feeling the heat within it
It’s the little things
That bring us a joy
Even for a short time
Forever more
Expect less
Capture more
Full of color
Watching it soar
Flashes of lights
Going fast
Watch it burn
Oh I wish it would last
Embracing the innocence
Of purely you
          One sparkler
              Brings so much joy from me to you

Right under your feet

Hidden Warrior
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
To be afraid
To show your armor
To face your fears
Covering it with a smile
Breaking the barriers and the wind around
Embracing my feet upon the ground
Struggling to find piece of mind
Holding on to what’s left of mankind
Capturing the moment of light within the darkness
Surrounding yourself with a protective armor
To be not afraid of your fears
Even shedding a few tears
Releasing a real smile
Through the eyes of a warrior
Not afraid of the pain and struggles
Exposing yourself to the world like an underexposed blurriness of a picture
Showing your battle scars but not dwelling on them
Looking forward to a better future
You are a warrior even if it’s hidden like a buried treasure
