A colourful rainbow in the sky
So colourful I can't deny
With colors that danced oh so high
It arches with grace
Bringing smiles to my face
Oh colourful rainbow
A bridge where dreams flutter and fly.
Rainbow 🌈

On good days, I turn the pages,
Of the book with poems I once wrote.
So much pain in silent cages,
Words I bled but never spoke.

In black ink, lines carefully formed,
The pain I didn’t understand.
Black words my silence adorned,
Softly held by a warm hand.
He couldn’t even finish a bowl of sorbet—he said it was “too sweet” for him.

Little did he know—he was too sweet for the cruel world he was born into.
I have a friend who just radiates so much positivity and I wonder what the world would be like if everyone was like this.
If heaven had visiting hours,
I'd come and meet you by the flowers

I would give you the biggest hug
I'd cry enough tears to fill a pouring jug

I'd tell you I love you and miss you,
It's all I can do.

It hurts so much I'm on my knees
But I know in time it will ease.

You seem happier here, you're no longer suffering
Thats all I want for you,  
my love for you will forever be true
Dedicated to my Sweet Boy Fletcher.
How do I
make peace
with my enemies
when their desire
is to take the pieces
out of me?

A cabin in the woods
With a fireplace, the smell of wood in the air
Fresh baked bread in the kitchen
And a cat purring on the windowsill
There is a bubbling river flowing in the back

This is my happy place in my imagination
Where I am surrounded by greenery and life
Where time seems to slow and sunlight seems to shine a bit brighter
A place of safety, a place of happiness, a place of rest
Day 18 of the 30 day writing challenge
Prompt: A happy place
I am clearly behind on this challenge
