Poem
magic time found a way through
my portals of space
it is shiny inside my pleasant caves
nothing to worry about in here
all is quiet and calm now
let it go no matter what they say
or how they may think
because it’s all in your head
red sunset casting silhouettes
upon the trees
i miss the tree that once grew with me
we were friends and companions
but that time is gone
so i must be moving on
feel that yearning to fix the gutters
of my mind
wishing to be driving
on the mother road
Daily Haiku
a blanket of warmth
the sunlight’s dew of morning
spoken silence is gold found
Daily Haiku
invisible eye
returns to sweet innocence
seconds before dawn
Daily Haiku
Water is dripping
Park bench full of soft delights
Hummingbird at lunch
Daily Haiku
figures all lined up
long gazes into my eyes
work space is smiling
Daily Haiku
Must explore this love
I dream of naked power
freedom in sleeping
The Ways I Can Love Myself More
A LIST
Daily meditation practice
Taking care of my feet
Spending time making good coffee
Enduring challenging exercises and seeing results in the mirror
Forgiving others and myself
Letting go of friendships that no longer serve me
Taking vitamins and eating healthy
Color in my adult coloring book
Play the guitar more (take lessons)
Save money and travel somewhere new
Laugh at my mistakes
Smile more daily
Observe nature more (the sky, the stars, birds singing and the majestic trees)
Spend time alone without any computers, phones and even music
Go for a walk
Talk to myself in the mirror (daily affirmations)
Compliment myself
Read some poetry
Write a love letter to myself and mail it
Go to bed early
-we ALL need to be kind to ourselves
I am #alive and #happy

If Only…
If Only…
i could accept the changes of my life
I was a little boy again riding my bike through the woods
there was more time to fix the broken heart
the trauma and stress went away
I could sleep longer
i could meet up again with old friends
i could handle the suffering
i wouldn’t become unglued so easily
I could embrace mental illness with open arms
the explosions were less severe
I was stronger
the summer never ended
the Fall could last forever
Winter never came
the pain would stop growing
life was simpler
