A vessel for water
hardened soil      
ceramic broken  
forever spoiled.  

But gather with care,
these grounded bits,
and paint upon them
as a soul canvas

She's building her strength
  within her   mind
  within her   heart

Unsure to begin with
  but    determined
to find a place to start

At first, not aware she needed to
however, cracks began to show

Realising for her own
  'protection'
as she feared  another
  heartless blow

Wanting only to show
  kindness
simply needing to offer
  love
Clarity of thought emerged
she now knew it could be done

To heal this and herself
  'gently'
with a
  
strength,

and   truth,
    in her words

She can stand alone
  and strong,

       small,
         yet
powerful enough
  to be heard

Out walking my dog; taking in the scene
Watching the world change
Everyday is different and that's a beautiful thing

I've seen rabbits and squirrels
I've even seen a turtle in the middle of the road
Everyday is different and that's a beautiful thing

I've seen birds in the trees; all kind of different species
I've seen a chipmunk in a roof gutter; I think he was laughing at me
Everyday is different and that's a beautiful thing

I've seen shrubs and trees come alive
I've seen them peek with their beauty
Then I watched them die
Everyday is different and that's a beautiful thing

I've seen people come and I've seen people go
How long they are here; you never know
I always try to make people happy
Help them forget about life and set their minds free
Everyday is different and that's a beautiful thing

(Triolet)


I met your words the other day
those words spoke, only to me
they took my fears away
I met your words the other day
holding the meaning to all I wished to say
comforting me in a way I'd never been
I met your words the other day
those words spoke only, to me
