Was It A Dream?

I’m told that I was restless during my sleep

I had a nightmare that I was drowning

Knee deep, face-down in the middle of the street

The flashing lights were red, white, and blue

Couldn’t tell if it was day or night

Heard piercing shouts calling for help

I thought I saw fireworks

I know I smelled gunpowder

This is America, and It’s the men in

BLUE

Pray for peace!

What I Used To Be

I used to be broken and tears would stream down my chafed

…Cheeks…

Now dimples are visible

…My…

Path was in the darkness

…Not…

In the light

…Now…

I am whole, and have peace

…My…

Beautiful spirit

…Is…

In touch with my

…Soul…

Grateful I am no longer

…Lost…

Like I used to

…Be…

It’s A Seldom Thought

It only happens on days that the clouds are grey and heavy, like today.

I miss the laughter, and smile, and that special twinkle in your eyes. Our love was so hot our footsteps were scorched into the floor, along with the dents from my red spikes.

I briefly reminisce; on a day like today. When its gloomy.

And it’s cold.

On a day like today

When…

I’m alone.

Waiting…

For the

Sun…

Goodbye Glory

Delicately she blossoms

…Suggestively…

Flaunting her beauty

…With…

Misty eyes; until

…It’s…

 Time to leave

…Did…

You get to admire her?

Speak not

…Listen to the melody…

That’s humming

…Through the breeze…

Look around

…Observe the wilderness…

It’s the perfect place

For peace

Fountain Of Truth

Ms. Vee selfie

When I looked in the mirror

…What…

Did I see? None other but

…Saggy…

Old wrinkles peering at

….Me…

Step into this image to regain your

…Youth…

I lowered the shade

…I’m…

Searching for truths

Just Look

Quote credit by Lexington Field Up in the Sky @www.jarofquotes.com

Can you look beyond the sky

… And…

 See the Man

…Who…

 Soars so high?

…While…

 Mountains peak and

…Airplanes…

Fly, Mother nature

…Brings…

 Me peace. I sincerely

…Thank…

 The Man above for my

…Tranquility…

Look intently with a vision of

…Hope…

And nothing seems

…Impossible…

A Whisper Of Reason

Photo taken by my daughter Antionette@
Niagara Falls, NY

…If…

You listen to the whisper of

…Reason…

When your spirit is in

…Turmoil…

It will guide you to a

…Peaceful…

State of mind. Troubled

…Waters…

Cause emotions to not only

…Stir…

But drown the soul with

…Worries…

The calmness of self

…Will…

Resurface with a resilience

…Just…

Listen, hear the whisper

…And…

Let it flow

As I Change

Quote by Lewis Carroll
Found at http://www.huffingtonpost.ca

As I sit

…Contemplating…

My next move

…I’ve…

Lost the moment of

…Excitement…

Time passes by

…Quickly…

I am not the same

…As…

I was yesterday

…I’m changed…

When I look in the mirror

…I…

See can see it

…Many…

Days feel it

…Once…

In a while it makes

…Me…

Scream

…And…

Fall

…Down…

On my knees
