As the sun goes down for the night, clear your mind
As the sun goes down and the heat calms down, look up towards the moon
Notice its white glimmer
Feast upon the beauty of it

As the sun goes down and the world slows down, slow your heart
Think about the good things you have
Think about how precious life is

As you get ready to rest for the night, let your body relax and carry you off to sleep
And as you wake for the next day, smile for a chance at a new start
Treasure each moment and every second as they are a gift
As you go out into the night, look up at the sky and remember

Look at the moon in all its glory
See how the light
shines upon the clouds
Feast upon the stars and pure beauty of the darkness

Gather peace and tranquility from the stillness

Realize we are part of something greater than ourselves
Feel the energy which is part
of everything

Remember where you come from, and what you truly are

Believe
Sometimes in our darkest times
We are given a miracle of hope
When we want to give up
A thread to something
Comes
Light shining through
A hand reaching out
In the deepest darkness
We need to have faith
To believe
We should never give up
Even in our toughest times
Light will get through
Eventually
Believe
Let that faith light up the world
In the darkness
Sometimes when we are delayed
Or slowed down
In doing something
There’s is a reason
We may not know it
But there is
We shouldn’t fight it
Those pauses are for protection
To stop us
From doing something
Not really meant for us
Later on as we look back
We will see and understand
When you are delayed
Or stopped
Just become still
The universe is looking out for you
Always
Believe
Light up the world
With your own special light
Summer is here
Arrived with a fury
With vengeance
The sun is intense
Burning
Skies are crystal clear
It’s getting very hot
Hot as hades
I am not good with heat
I prefer much cooler weather
When it gets like this
Chocolate can melt
I can melt
An egg can fry
Animals seek shade
Anywhere
Because of their fur coats
Birds seek needed water
Plants turn brown
Wilting
Dying
My cat looks miserable
We all want a reprieve
Seeking something cool
Hoping for a break
Hot as hades
I am not done yet
I may not be 18 or 20
Or even 30
But I am not done yet
I still have things to do
Places to go
Experiences awaiting me
I have voyages to take
Languages to learn
Dances to dance
Songs to sing
I have mountains to climb
Oceans to cross
Writing to write
Laughter to laugh
I still believe
The best is yet to come
I have only begun
I am not done
Not at all
The air was hot
Steamy
Fog was rising from the water
It was palpable
Clothes sticking to the body
Off in the distance
Was a group of flamingos
They were regal and beautiful
Standing in the water
Probably looking for food
Against their pink bodies
Was a deep red sunset
Painting everything
In it’s path
It accentuated the heat
And their pink color
Giving a surreal look
To the moment
In a way creating
A piece of art
Too beautiful
To be real
