Your life can change in a blink of an eye
For some, they are not so lucky
For others, someone was watching over them

If you don’t believe in angels or a higher being... read this...

My boss was driving on the highway...
The car in front of him got a flat tire while driving and it flew off and hit my boss’s van head on almost going through the front window....
He had on sunglasses or it may have been a little worse, but he is otherwise perfectly fine.  

In a blink of an eye, your life could change...

Blissful beauty
Colorful skies
Infinite atmosphere
Right before our eyes

I’ve been blocked and I don’t even know why? Hmmmm.....
Is it because of my latest poem?
It’s it because I put lol in a comment because I wasn’t sure what they were saying to me?
Not sure but ok....

Wind blows
Leaves fall down
Tumbling, now, across the ground
Piling up
Bright and colorful
Until next season
When they will bloom
Again

Hopes
To find
A happy end
I will
Wait for
The flowers
To bloom
Waiting for
The last
Petal
To fall
Once again

I’m about to blow
Just like the little tea ***
Or even Kesha
Ashly Kocher Sep 2018
Sing me a song
A song of your emotions
Letting your feelings go
Like leaves falling from its branches
Shedding your deepest, darkest emotions
Piling them up into a pile of feelings
Allowing them to blow away in the wind
Releasing your inner feelings
Allowing you to breath again.

Distorted picture
Blurred lines
Squint your eyes
All will be fine

Flashes of light
Beyond your control
Capture the moment
Don’t lose your soul

Take it all in
Just be you
Even if it’s blurry
The picture will come through

Own yourself
Break through the mold
Don’t be a cookie cutter
Or else your cards will fold...
Ashly Kocher Nov 2021
Sometimes blurriness
Captures the most
Innocence of emotions

An image can just be a blurry vision until you look deeper and focus on what the bigger picture may be

Life is like a board game
Roll the dice
Move forward
Take a couple steps back
Battle your way through the maze of moves and obstacles
Everyone will eventually have a turn at winning
While others fall back to the beginning
Only to start over again...
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
When I look into your eyes
My body shivers
Melts into a puddle
But the puddle
That melted from my body
Waters my heart
Continuing my love to grow for you
Every time I look into your eyes
Sending shivers up and down my spine
Ashly Kocher Aug 2020
If you light them all at once
Your flame will go out fast
But if you light them one at a time daily
Your fire will surely last

We are all born the same way
Naked and afraid

Can anyone lend me their ear...
....So I don’t have to listen to the lies anymore...
Ashly Kocher Sep 2020
We’re on a boulevard of broken streets
Disaster areas
Hesitation of free speech
A turbulence that shaking up our world
Emotions high, continuous swirls
2020 has truly been a mess
But on the other hand we are blessed

Creating magic of the imagination
Timeless and amazing how those mysterious ways
Capture poetry connecting from your brainwaves...

Waking up to a brand new day
All my doubts and worries I have dreamt away
Starting fresh, starting new
Forgetting everything from yesterday...
How about you?

Start each day
Brand new
Putting your best foot forward
To a better you
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
I won’t back down
From the wall
You push me up against

I will find another way
To break down the walls
To get my revenge

Breaking down the walls
May be a big feat
Try your hardest
Take that big leap

Leap over the wall
When you stand up for yourself
Don’t let them hold you back
Because your on the right track
Ashly Kocher Jun 2018
Looking at me
In pure silence
Speaking volumes without words
As you filter through
Each and every layer of my insides
Breaking them down
To find the true me
Breaking the silence saying...
“Remember who you are (meant to be)”
Ashly Kocher Jun 2021
It’s ok to fall apart
That’s what life is all about
Living and learning
Loving and growing
Becoming a better version of you
Not succumbing to breaking down
But picking up the pieces and trying again…
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
Breaking news....






I’m
Sad
I’m
Angry
I’m
Upset
I’m
Shutting down
I’m
One second away from tears...


Why?

I don’t know !
So many thoughts running through my head
Ever get this way?
Ugh!

Breaking news....


I’ll be ok
When I’m doubt
Cry
Scream
Sleep
Shake
Breath
It out
Ashly Kocher May 2
You built up the wall that stands in your way
Trying to find a crack to escape
Broken down pieces
Fragments all around you
Yet the walls are still standing, your stuck like glue
You are the one who gets in the way
Nobody else who can take that blame
But you built this wall like a cone of shame
Hiding in plain sight is the name of the game

Kicking and screaming in the depths of your mind
Silence is screeching within your sense of time
Kicked back to reality with the tears you still cry
Over and over this nightmare lives out in my mind
But looks there’s a hammer, I call it my heart
Break down these walls
Tear them apart
I found the way out of this invisible box
Wish we could turn back the hands on the clock

I stood in my own way
I broke down these walls
I may be broken but it didn’t break me enough
I’m who I am from all I’ve been through
Trusting my instincts and holding my heart

You built up the wall that stands in your way
Trying to find a crack to escape
Broken down pieces
Fragments all around you
Yet the walls are still standing…


Yet, I found a way out…..
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
My silence is louder then your words any day  
It’s ok not to be okay
But what’s not okay is to feel uncomfortable
Talking about things that are not ideal or causing friction in any way
Break the silence
Turn the volume up high
Breath a sigh
Of relief

Feeling the weight being lifted off of me...

Breaking down the walls
Can be very hard....

If you break it down
Brick by brick

You have made progress
That many people will see

It takes times
To release the demons

Make the wall
Come crashing down

But if you let us
Into your hearts

Then the true
                         YOU
                                  Will be found....
Most of us have a wall that we build around us through the years. Try to make the wall come crumbling down to unveil the true you.

It’s easy to breath
When you are near me
Even though you take my breath away
Ashly Kocher Dec 2017
Softly chirping
       Light rain falling
Calling out for love
       Blissful sunrise
Swirling clouds
        Essence of peacefulness
Calming feelings
        Giving thanks
For all you have
         Being free
Singing aloud
        Take it all in
Breath in life
       Not looking back
Don’t think twice
      Recharge yourself
Rise to the top
      Not giving up
Never to stop
     Take a deep breath
Walk ahead
      To a better you
Revealing your thoughts
           When your dreams come true

The first breath we take
Is one less towards our last
Make every breath count
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
From the first breath you take
Is one less breath towards
The last breath that makes
Us one step closer
To our permanent home
That awaits
When we take our last breath
From the first breath that we take
Ashly Kocher Aug 2019
Life is turned upside
Feeling like we’re going round and round
Please make it stop
When will this end
My dear, it’ll happen
When your new journey begins
Be patient with life
Dodge the curveballs that are thrown at you
Breath and relax, it’ll get better
When it’s all suppose too

Alas, I have stumbled upon a brick wall...
Will this stop me or will I fall?
Just scratching the surface with my bare hands
Small pieces crumbling upon where I stand
I will not give up, for this is my fate
Pushing through the pain, until it breaks
Sometimes you can’t go through a brick wall
Maybe climb up and over, just don’t fall
For if you fall, brush yourself off, stand tall
For each mistake will make you grow...

Alas, I have stumbled upon a brick wall
Will this stop me or will I fall?
I will conquer this brick wall
Slow and steady, I will rise above it all...

We can be as brittle as broken violin strings or it can show how many hard times we’ve been through....
It can still play beautiful music yet show how much we’ve learned...

Feeling broken
Purposely caused by the beauty of pain
No longer dancing through the hourglass of life
Picking up the broken pieces
One shard at a time
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
Sometimes

I feel
We all feel
A little

BROKEN....

Enjoying a song "one last time"
A senseless act of mankind
A happy joyous night turned for the worst
Ended in tragic with a loud burst
Lives were lost
People were hurt
Some are still missing
All alone and scared
One last time they sang her song
Now Manchester is left in shambles and many are now "gone"
Ashly Kocher Jan 2018
Feeling broken
Mending the pieces back together
One wrong move and it will all crumble down
Your love is my glue to keep me from shattering
Into a million broken pieces like through shifting sand
To find the treasure that will never break
Your love will keep me together and sane

She continues to be broken
She continues to pick up the pieces
She continues to fight hard
She continues to be strong
She continues to believe
She continues to have faith

We all face hardships
We face our fears
Standing up to pain
Never running away
Even though we are a little broken
We never give up
Always finding a way

She may be b r o k e n
But she’s is a f I g h t e r

She is a

W a r r I o r

Through all that she endures...

Once upon a dreary day
             Thank god it’s raining
So no one will notice
             When I wipe my tears away
Fake a smile and be brave
           But inside I’m broken and still afraid

I will dance on broken glass for you
Emoting all my emotions onto the floor
Giving it all my sweat, blood and tears
Just to give you all my love throughout the years
Not wasting away or living in fear
Broken glass, can be, resembled and  repaired...
Ashly Kocher Aug 2020
Just like broken glass under my feet
I walk on eggshells whenever your around me..

Some
Of our
Biggest scars
Can not be seen
But are always felt
In our broken hearts
For all those that we have lost along the way... our biggest scars are on our hearts missing them everyday
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...
