Today I came across a beautiful bird
It started talking to me; how absurd
He said people are so caught up in strife
Not enjoying the simpler moments of life
No longer as a people do we feel deep joy
Children no longer making their own toys
We sit them in front of cable television
Wondering why hate is all they can envision
Eating fast food from boxes in microwaves
We truly wonder why we are early to the grave
Doctors get paid extra to make us addicts
Pain and suffering is running so tragic
This gorgeous bird hopped onto my shoulder
Him and I chatted of life's huge boulders
He said people used to simply cover their ****
Now we are selfish over the almighty coin
Days are gone of fresh food from our gardens
Now we are just a lost society hardened
We talked about how nobody looked at the stars
No more fantasy only dreams seemingly so far
We wondered why we were far from the norm
Why people cannot sit to enjoy a perfect storm
The bird and I came to the conclusion
That compassion and love are just an illusion
How much longer before this insanity stops
Before our life burdens are too heavy to drop
The bird chirped a little music in my ear
He told me I have nothing in this world to fear
My eyes were open I could truly see
The beauty of what spirit provided me
Grateful of blessings and gifts given to us
In angel spirits my soul will always trust
My little bird, sadly he soared up and above
But not before he embraced me in total love
I will never forget this little bird
Nor the kindness to me of his word

A butterfly landed on me today
Truly he made my day
I spoke with him awhile
What he told me made me smile
He said nothing in this world matters
We must end our constant chatter
To be able to open and see
All the glorious beauty to be
His message was something to grasp
The peace he brought me is to last
For it's not everyday I can say
Something precious came my way
That is why I know he was angel sent
His colors were so unique and different
To bring joy and happiness to my heart
So I would never walk a different start
Being one within God's adoring love
Knowing I have the ability to rise above
I am so truly blessed he came to me
Truth and compassion are meant to be
Like him I am unique in all I say
Angels' love on my journey everyday
I know my way of life is a choice
Moving people with my voice
Loving as we walk hand in hand
Like a butterfly across this land
Spreading laughter and joy
Like an innocent child with a toy
My words may be easy to conceive
But how many can truly receive
Expressions of love to behold
I am richer than all the world's gold
The truth is always within sight
As a butterfly my soul takes flight
It is so truly wonderful this day
That he decided to come my way
I am blessed to walk this earth
Until God takes me for my rebirth
Light dancing across my face
He then fluttered away in grace
Magic and miracles will never end
Goodbye my little butterfly friend

Walking down the river bed
I was trying to clear my head
Allowing good energy to flow
White spiraling light aglow
Trees stood around on tower
I stopped to smell a flower
I gazed into the river at the fish
Stopping long enough to make a wish
A prayer to my God above
To surround me in unconditional love
I felt his hand hold onto mine
Knowing nothing could stop my time
My soul truly does fly free
Heaven walks daily with me
I hope my words do not get caught
Within society's listless thoughts
I would lose my mind
True peace never to find
I no longer need to fight
People nor the world's plight
Tears will spill over the sins
Of how hatred and war wins
My spirit flowing on river tides
With pure energy I will glide
I will forever try to reach
Society's people I can teach
No longer needing to live in pain
They need no more blood to stain
For now along the river bed
They walk clearing their heads
Stopping only to smell the flowers
Truly feeling peace and power
Spirit whispers them above
To touch their own angels' love
Now they truly understand me
With all the beauty I do see

Please tell me how many men I have to kiss
Before I find one like you I missed
I still remember the fever of your touch
I wanted to walk with you that day so much
Softly you placed your hand upon my arm
Your muscles rippling from working on the farm
Innocently you grazed my lips with a kiss
All I could feel was a spiraling unknown bliss
Oh my God handsome this was all so wrong
Your passionate grip made me feel I belong
My mind was reeling but I had to walk away
I was in a relationship I could not stay
You are simply my one and only life regret
Although it is something I did learn to accept
I couldn't explore that fire in my own fashion
Although you are the first to match my passion
Imagine the places we could have explored
Leaving you that day I truly wanted to ignore
From that point on I was ruined for life
I was so unwilling to become an ordinary wife
I answered that nagging question in my mind
That neither you or myself were one of a kind
Men always becoming obsessed with my soul
I cannot feel their light only a sinking hole
I tried many times to hide my own feelings
But the lack of depth sends my heart fleeing
To this day I still search with a longing
Knowing it is out there I feel it so strongly
I need to feel a sweet angel touch my skin
To ignite that passion buried now deeply within
Healing and growing I have no need to hurry
Soon spirit will gift a gentleman to my journey
We will explore more than the first sweet kiss
Trust me when I say this one I will not miss
I know the difference of what love I need
I will no longer allow my inner being to bleed
I am worthy of great abundance from above
For the angels taught me the gift of true love

In sadness I cry
For once again I tried
Interpret the signs
Of a love that binds
To touch a part
Of my heart
That has never been found
Still listening forthe sound
I move forward on
Seeking the new dawn
Washing away the pain
Of the truth I cannot gain
One day I will learn
To call the one I yearn
He is waiting for me
I need to open and see
Stop wasting time
On the ones who don't rhyme
With the sounds of my soul
Standing in truth of my goal
I look behind no more
On the wings of a dove I soar
Angels pick up my feet
Showing the trail is never too steep
For the love I have within
Never to share would be a sin
I am so cherished and loved
I fit in my angel wings like a glove
So as I bow my head
The tears are dead
What will be will be
As God walks with me
Holding my hand
As I cross this land
Once again
I begin
Listening for the sound
Of where my soul is bound

As a child I thought they stole
The true essence of my soul
I walked without innocence
Listening in vain for my penance
Searching I journeyed to and fro
To realize I had no great place to go
I wandered through my emotions
Which sent my life in locomotion
Not being quite able to see
The beauty that was within me
People would tell me I was a gift
My mind blocking it I would go stiff
Surley if they could see the past
The love for me would never last
Not once did I see my own light
I was way too caught up in my own fight
One wretching hurt sent me stopping
I finally seen all my own mocking
Sick and depressed my heart was crushed
I wanted dearly to become a drunken lush
I was tired of carrying this extra person
A deep look inside sent me cursing
Nobody on this earth can take away
The God soul given to me that day
Still as innocent as freshly first birthed
When I crossed this threshold to earth
I did allow my emotions to take it all on
When it was their burden for the wrongs
Being grateful not resentful towards them
I finally saw I was a beautiful shinning gem
Daily I learn this human suit I am to wear
Has no bearing on the soul I have to bare
With my angels we keep it locked and stored
I see the reflections now on my own accord
What the world thinks of me or this poem
It has no bearing on how I am going home
The voice whispers innocence within my mind
Beauty and grace is my angel soul intertwined
Channeling spirits from above where I belong
Speaking this truth I will forever stand strong
This battle of emotions never happening again
For now I see I am a true princess within
