The little things of life
Matter most

A kiss, a hug
From someone close

Even a thought
Goes a long way

Just a simple smile
Can make someone's day

Cherish the people
And things you hold dear

Do this and happiness
Will always be near

Wisdom

Human wisdom is nothing more than time paired
with our natural ability for quizzical attentiveness.

Paying attention is everything.
The difference between knowledge
and ignorance.

Demons

Keep your demons close,
Don't let them get away,
Let them take you off the path
And listen to what they say.

Prohibition is a sin,
Let go of all your fears,
Grab the wheel and speed away,
There is nothing else left here.

These demons you love
Have taken you far,
But they've taken your keys
And have stolen your car.

Keep your friends close,
Don't let them get away,
Speak about your demons
To keep them at bay.

Death of a Butterfly

With the very last ounce of strength
its tiny, broken body brings,
it takes one final shot at life,
and slowly, once more, ***** its wings.

Til your last breath- never stop.

POEM 137

Self Portrait (10W)**

Gnarled and limbless
I reach for the stars-
determination defined.

PLEASANT

It’s so easy to be pleasant
If your life, flows like a song
But, it’s hard to be so cheerful
If the lyrics, have gone wrong

Rubaiyat/ Omar Khayyam

XXXIII.
There was the Door to which I found no Key:
There was the Veil through which I could not see:
Some little talk awhile of Me and Thee
There was - and then no more of Thee and Me.

focus on the positive

it's so easy to get caught up in the future or the past, but it's important to be fully present in the now. as cheesy as it sounds: don't focus on the negative. think positive! what we put into our minds and what we think really does affect how we behave and act. so **** out the negativity, and learn to be grateful for what you do have than what you don't have.

5/18/16 in a stressful time right now, but learning to breathe and focusing on the positive.

the bigger picture

the little things we tend to stress about aren't as massive as we think they are. don't always stay in tunnel vision. it's important to zoom out and look at the bigger picture.
