I'll write to you, to me, to the person I'll be.
I will write so you can look back
with a smile and say, "I really loved me".

❤️❤️❤️
Practice self love because you're the most important thing in your life

What is perfection
Living up to others expectations
Living the dreamers dream
Navigating the roads
Invisible streams
Following your heart
Or the fallacious

Bridging and balancing

Believing in self
Living and loving
Kindness and compassion
In words and deeds
Is humanity supreme
In my perception
Is perfection indeed

Beauty reflects in the art of love
Be it or not
It nourishes moment of life
It reflects personality and identity
In the way it will come
In the way it will speak
In the way it will move
By the presence of perspective self.
Show yourself up
and take care of it, all of it
that it will help you heal and recover
from the trauma ,from all the bad experiences
that it will turn out as growth
not pain but growth.
Can someone give a title for this one?

We seek to connect when separation is enforced upon us.
We are told that it is unsafe to be close but we should not fear being together.
We feel that we are going against our own nature to keep each other from harm.
Conflicting confusion clouds the mind and adds to an already difficult experience.
Anxiety and unease are amplified to heights so hard to bare.
It is a heavy price to pay but it will pay off.
From these trials and tribulations we shall create better situations.
Caring connections will be in abundance and their power will be unbeatable.
Unity shall prevail above all else and bonds will be forged with mighty strength.
The path we walk may be difficult but it will lead to a truly beautiful destination.

My father said,
My dear son I love you very much.

I wept,
surprised by his affection
in the midst of my daily afflictions.
This outpouring
overflowed into my heart
and spilled out with tears.

My part of the world
Knows not who you are
A talent beyond words
Rhyming life in your lyrics
Effortless you sing your songs

Tom Waits
Why I never heard you before
Now I love your songs
And want to listen to some more
Forevermore

Talk not about me like this
Lady you never heard me before
And now you speak of my songs
As if you been a fan of, all life
Don’t  flatter me now

In this world there is misery enough
As I drive down the ghost town
Fearless eyes and lies, I see
Scary for people to cope
So, in my songs I sing of hope

“Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children alone”
Thank you, Thomas W Case for introducing me to Tom Waits and sharing his lovely song 'Jockey full of Bourbon' and encouraging me to write something
So this is what I could think of while listening to Jockey full of Bourbon
The Last verse is from this song  :)

This thing called life is a series of experience
that colors our lenses on how we view the world

The unique shades we look through shapes our
perspective and makes our beliefs unfurled

Though we cannot look with other eyes
we can still try and see and appreciate their view

Tolerance and understanding will go a long way in
making the changes for this to come true

We have no way of knowing what others have experienced
in their past and with their own journey's of life

But we can make a promise to do better with how we
view these lenses in this time of strife

Times are getting, harder and harder.
Times are getting , darker and darker.
Times are getting, scarily and scarily.
Times are getting, sadder and sadder.
Times are getting , lonelier and lonelier.
Times are getting, more depressing here.
God is allowing this to draw us to him.
For only he can save us from all of this.
He wants to deliver us and then save us.
