A better fate
LannaEvolved Mar 2021
Life is a sacrifice
Not the imprisonment for
what we do not
choose

Falling in love with
the entities, the opportunity,
the open doors
to that unique
human being
who comes to us in the middle of
night and kisses wholly

Who pays attention
to the definition of things
will never lose you

Honoring yourself
LannaEvolved Apr 2021
Take gems
of fortitude
and create a string
of wisdom
LannaEvolved Apr 2021
Be Joy. Be Tranquility. Be Presence. Be Equanimity. Be Focus.
Be Investigation. Be all that you inherently can be
Because you have that power

Art and love are the same
It's the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you.

It's all about the journey of learning.
You can only give in order to reap.
This is your only victory
A continuous journey

For me, it's about creating a legacy from the lessons of every day moments, from the years of experiences and desired shifts made from within myself; and enjoying the all of who I am and what I am receiving through those difficult, yet needed experiences to allow me to become the woman and the person I am today
They were well-needed

The Light always bars the shadows.
God is a guide to what is for you not to change your circumstances in place of You. Only you do that.
LannaEvolved Mar 2021
In every season of life we must purge our Spirits of the cut stems of the past and learn how find what is meant to last.

Mental clearance
LannaEvolved Mar 2021
There is always something on your mind until you train it for what you wish it to be. Security comes from listening to the music, inviting your higher power as
God helps focus and feel love from yourself.
LannaEvolved Apr 2021
To become a stronger artist
Dig deeper into what motivates you
And begin from your living
Prospering takes from your life all of the imaginary moments and creates them into the future
The jewel has been appointed by
the pressure
Remember that.

This is.. Love
LannaEvolved Mar 2021
Perfection is recognizing you in stained glass and still in translucence
Our universe grants every soul a twin- a reflection of themselves.
Even in different dimensions
They will
Always
Find another
This is.. love
LannaEvolved Mar 2021
Be valued. Not simply liked or else you will never know self-respect which attracts only a love that is pure.
What is real can only be what we feel.
It will find you. Trustyourself.

LannaEvolved Mar 2021
Stay present
Take time for yourself
Keep directing your energies
To the universal
That works with you
When you collaborate

No matter how far away you feel from someone or something, you can always reach out without doubting why
Taking risks and enjoying the process is ultimate happiness

Progression begins by elevating and positioning stability

When you know you have
When you believe you become

LannaEvolved Jan 2021
“Value is the kind of character in which you live through your intentions.

You have to be intentional about the value of you, for that is the virtue of self, and the premise of I am.”
LannaEvolved Feb 2021
As human beings we all get ****** into a poison filled one dimensional lake of endless pollution insecurity lame energy and self hate at one point or another.

An endless ocean in its many flowing forms of progressive harmony, drama free, and natural loving state of being with what you love and those whom are truly meant for you.

People will come and go, but these are the kind of people that you should be willing to give your time to and allow to enter your life and stay for the long run.

Trusting another
LannaEvolved Apr 2021
When you trust another you want to
share with them, your whole life, your thoughts.
It gives them the freedom to just be who they are too without limitations.
LannaEvolved Mar 2021
You repeat what has not been repaired.
Through acknowledging our values and understanding the circumstances that have changed us we heal through our questions.
As the progress and the process is saying yes to our evolution

Enlightenment is a recognition of what you have through being who you are.

Opening
LannaEvolved Jan 2021
People are fascinating, but the world in which they exist is more so because they entertain it in their living.

I live to explore the social and personal roles of humanity.

I live to create art.

I live to inspire others in my defined ways.

I live to evolve effervescently.
LannaEvolved Mar 2021
Do you hear my soul calling?
Or is it that silent space just my heart whispering that we are still in sync yet so far away?

Beyond the limits of time does gratitude live on.
LannaEvolved Jan 2021
These poems share in the experience of not feeling strong mentally and emotionally and even physically because there is pressure to act or appear more human.
Whether is be felt pressures from our family, peers, colleagues, or society at large we are all facing and fearing what we cannot explain or control. These are the challenges of life, but they are okay, they are precisely what makes us strong and capable of healing our emotions, our bodies, and our past wounds, however they may appear on the outside.  
I hope it provides some guidance as to how to overcome these challenges when the dynamics and the circumstances of life feel  like a burden or when other humans  misunderstand or feel misunderstood by us too.
To cancel out this void, it is within our mental control and our will to choose listening over ignorance, to preserve safety over self ridicule, to find inner strength to make tough decisions when we need to; cultivating empathetic compassion towards the ambition that is to become our most promising forms of personal and social resilience in all of our relationships.

Nothing Undone
LannaEvolved Apr 2021
I am physically wrapped around the vine-
I won’t let go until you let go
(Physical)

I am emotionally scared of what may happen to me when I release you from me
(Emotional)

I am mentally here, but searching for the next
Thought about the
(future once I release the grip)
of these unfilled voids to capture in their spacious petals yearning to embrace...

Artist 🦋 Affirmation 11
LannaEvolved Jan 2021
“Movement is creativity and spontaneity
The art of it is release and relieve
Creativity is health
And to be at ease with health is medicine
This is what makes us come alive

Performance is the unguarded feeling of exasperating freedom escaping through the neurons of the mind down to the lungs underneath the nerves down into the cells and out through the heart.

“It is the body in all its forms.”

Nothing More Than...
LannaEvolved Jan 2021
Am I nothing more than a
cemetery’s contradiction?

Spouting life and death

Growing against the soil


Clutching to infinity by its limbs

Turned upside down

Stretched upon a bed of roses


Am I woman?

Am I flora?

Am I human?


Another soul in its wake.

Butterfly Ephemeral
LannaEvolved Jan 2021
Moving into a velar glide metamorphosis
Vicariously springing forth
Transforming out of cocoons

They were borne from the melting mounds
of powdered flakes
resting on the golden face
of my Trojan balcony
suffocating each window in utter fog
blocked in their finite prisms

I lie crisp and awake
trapped inside them
Yet still, I am free.

Gratitude for the journey
LannaEvolved Mar 2021
Gratitude doesn't just come and go.
When it is sustained it can remain steady in its truth.

The symptom
LannaEvolved Jan 2021
I don’t want to feel it
I was all in
But now
I’m seein’ the clock
Again

Out in the field
Twisting the paddle
Walk-on wood
Panels

Found the moonstone
Without the manual

I’m out there
Movin’ channels
Deep
Divin’
Tastin’ matter

Crossin limits
With the SR-factor
Feeling my I am superfluous

I am human
You can’t see the symptom

Here I am
Devisin’

Made a masterpiece out of timing

Won’t chase a layman’s man
You can’t burden me with falsities
My aura brings me closer
To my conscious virtuosity

You’d never know
What you’re seein’

Because I got my consciousness stored
inside
I deep dive
dip into it
rebuilt my life
All to risk and find out

I’m all about love + psychology= Life X Quantum Physics
Energy  

That’s Infinity
And I made It

but..

All These feelings have a symptom

Too much pressure on my free will

Never got the best of me

When I took a knife to the symptom

Now I Feel the best of this
present
Finding my ascension

You was in temptation
The first time you saw me

Shinin’ from my vision
higher
than a chandelier
off the ceiling

And you’ll never know


Looking like the queen of Egypt in her kingdom
Living like the story I’ve been tellin’
Feelin all these symptoms
disintegrate

Turned my love into newness
Used to lovin’
in the back seat

Stall closed
bathroom tease

Now I love my soulmate in our sunroom
And we’ll be lovin’ in the next 2
Centuries

I’m not who you knew
I overcame each form of darkness

You and You and You

From Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens, to rural York, PA, to the outskirts of Newark, to Italy, to Paraguay, to Tarzana, CA, and Chicago, Illinois

And I’m Better for it

Nothing holds division like a sordid mindset

But you see Equal balance is my credential

My best friend was there through it all
It was automatic
For us
You saw the magic in me
In Us
That’s the medicine we needed
swallowed

So take me to the moon
Clouds reachin’
Enjoy this view

Sailing wise
stretchin’
Behind
Shadows of our pasts
overseas

Seein’ the only truth living

Hands up
Cos
Free will
Will make you new
You know when you knew

No more symptoms
To distill

We’re on high
A life journey
That nobody could ever divide

And we have it
Because

We made it past those sandbags on the way.

Nothing man made can break me

Growth is an open space
LannaEvolved Mar 2021
You look happy they said..
There was a time my eyes didn’t
I had a focused mind, but an unheard heart

Now I get to glean in
Get to know myself
Share the deepest parts
With you  

Sitting on clouds
Made of
Gemstones
That soothe our
Precious spirits
Melting into one
Being
Togetherness

Finding self
LannaEvolved Jan 2021
Have you ever imagined what it feels like to be a missing piece

The sweet precision of what you live to feel

Introducing yourself to new roles
and positions

To absorb
To admit
To respond
To participate

What is reality but a source of our current condition of consciousness

Consider this

Control is nothing but the power of a sword
Stuck in the dead of winter
105 · Jan 2021
An old part of me
LannaEvolved Jan 2021
A part of me would like to have the new
But I wouldn’t be who I am if I didn’t learn to persevere through these times
And become self-made on my own

Always finding older friends and mentors
helped me learn and grow
If not for them I would still be stuck, lost, and reliant on them.
(Little did I know at the time I wrote this piece, I was stuck, lost, and reliant on the wrong people for support and correct spiritual thinking to guide me through to the next level of my life).

I had to learn to cut the cord.
Not everyone is mean to stay until the end.

People are people.
Blood cannot always occupy the meaning even after they say they care.
If they have to say it, they don’t truly know caring’s worth.
Learning and growth about yourself, about others and who you surround yourself with is your priority.

Science is magic reversed
LannaEvolved Mar 2021
Neuroscience shows what we secretly know to believe:
Uniting the mind and body like the strands of rope they are
rewards our biological system to stay protected.
Something a mere capsule of spiritual concept cannot guarantee.
104 · Jan 2021
Above All
LannaEvolved Jan 2021
I watch and see with glittering eyes the whole world around me

As the greatest secrets are hidden in the most unlikely places

I envisioned through my travels
the faith that met my hands

First imagined

We both believed in magic manifested

Forever yours as a rare jewel
Found on the most unexpected of days.


Godly love never fails

it creates shivers

It comes with patience
In what was once lost

What we found
Reclaimed  


I feel the feelings every time you capture my spirit body and mind.

I soar in a ****** crave

What is love but the feeling of kisses for eternity

The soul becomes dyed with the color of such a simple thought and yet becomes the truth when we least expect it
102 · Mar 2021
The Art of Art
LannaEvolved Mar 2021
I look at people as observations of being
Feeling connected to one without performing
Perfection is in the imperfect
Words jumble meanings

Words don’t cut the surface
of what I am:

Choosing
Expression

This is beauty
This is power
LannaEvolved Jan 2021
Spirit Led
Our Bodies forget
The Soul Formulates
But cannot forget
When it remembers
The Spirit of it's own creativity

Erasures from a past turning inward
The present is the “as if” the could be of what might have been
It shifted
It changed
A reenactment
of past choices I made

Made me new
A thought
An act of habit
Repeated over time
Became the resolve

To change my life.
That was all I ever needed to
Bring me back down to grounding.

“What will change me cannot do me harm.”

Connecting to my Vision

Learning to Trust with my whole heart

Loving the realization that it has

always been
in

Me.

To do this.
LannaEvolved Jan 2021
As I revel
like a star
A revelation in the star
falls down
into my palm
It knows
the truth

My life is... wholesome bleeding creative
dynamics
sharpening the corners
printing color
poignantly defining every
formulating layer
to help me grow

Acrylic paints
On the surface
What’s inside?

Learning to lead with my heart my intuition
Redefined
Creating my truth

Embracing the flow
of empathy
For the unknown

I will Lead.
Because
I AM.

An unbroken home:
Flourishing everything over and under the moon.
Life is.. what you I make it.
What I make it.
And that is something I can own.
My life. I can make it.

“Growth is paramount to life and love“.

These are our lives.
So let’s protect them.

Let’s empower them
To be bold and to live
Extraordinary open windows

Love
Support
Hope
Truth
Faith
Humility
Courage
Mastery

And well-being.

Let us work on and towards
This is Reflective healing.

For this is (our) collective healing.

Effervescence
LannaEvolved Apr 2021
My energy is spiral with you
Rounded in circular determination
Square in its intention

Honest as the heart of the one
Who secures the actions of a safety pin
Tightly fastened; stretched to its will

Our connection is not other worldly,
But made from the same sphere
The invisible in our hands
Wipes the grain of all doubt
That is true magic.
LannaEvolved Jan 2021

A Filtered Temptation
LannaEvolved Dec 2020
Distracted by the distance
Walking on tattered roads  
Ocellated eyes found me

Cold thoughts
Wandered
Another mile gone

New words entered
And were sewn

The reality of what might be  
too much to bear
But the need never came near
to haunt my thoughts again
I let it be...

5 years later.

The forward of
of a fresh chapter
writes in feathers
You’re still there  

Like a book
newly released
speaking in printed form
Substance
hydrolyzed

Reflecting on its parts
Sectioned into twos
like a grapefruit and its humanness

The core is heaven  
Melting into uncharted territories  
I am willing to go

I met the uniqueness of a friend
Turned lover  
Transformed into
all that was
solid
fluid
flowing
like water
chemically  
Magnetic


And I found this treasure
People do not always appear as they seem, but they can change depending on how we view them outside of ourselves.
The circumstances, environment, and sensory data we decide to live and surround ourselves
with respect to a person can change depending on how we reflect what we think about them and how we feel within.

Circumstances change. We can learn to see others as more meaningful or less depending on how we choose to see them from a certain perspective.

We can become happier when we transform a repeating passing thought or maybe something that began as a fleeting temptation into a steady conscious interest of desire to be pursued because we are generally interested in learning about this person outside of the superficial criteria they may meet in the external world and therefore, develop those feelings into something more.

Turning thought into action is a powerful blended combination of simply thinking about what you want vs. creating what you want; being proud of who you are and yourself for being clear and determined in your choices in love as well as in your commitment to it and the journey towards finding it can make all the difference in how you feel about it as a process and your dynamic with that special person too :)

Love, then, becomes less of a temptation and more of a pursuit to be cherished and deliberately chosen.

Affirmation of Self
LannaEvolved Mar 2021
You are powerful. You’ve done amazingly well for yourself and you always will.
See your worthiness, feel your importance, and pitch the self-doubts.

The world needs you right now.
It is still a place full of magic that bends to our dreams. You are loved.
You are important. You are valued.

If you need something, anything, ask for it. And if someone asks you for help, give to the best of your ability or try to find someone who can.

New Possibilities
LannaEvolved Jan 2021
It’s been 8 years
As I keep walking down a path that seems to be winding and winding I’ve let all of the memories go.

They do creep up on me sometimes
As they do for all us. That is normal.

And when those moments happen
I recenter myself and know that newness is possible

All that I’ve been asking for is happening right now in this present moment.

As I keep recreating
Every new opportunity
that awaits me
They are here for us
For you
