Gratitude
For Her
Like a butterfly, she has evolved Like the seasons she has changed and found herself Season by season, Bit by bit But no one knows that They know her as the carefree happy Woman But not the journey They know she is strong but not the extent She is the heroine my mother told me tales about under the moon And like the moon, she went through phases Gracefully even though it seemed like she was missing parts Parts she kept a secret Like a tornado She’s powerful And leaves a mark wherever she goes A misunderstood mark of newness But that’s what makes her phenomenal

Finding Happiness in Parting
True relief isn't found in stopping the tears. Instead of simply crying, I can look back on everything with a smile. The feeling lingers. There are regrets, but I understand the reasons behind them. There is regret, but I also understand that my regret isn't necessarily shared by the other person.

Is a Detour?(Love)
Tired from a tour and Talk, a long walk. Thought's gawk, Chews my thoughts, Is surely my fault. With my tongue before The tummy. When I become the dummy, Someone talks. Talk's over and at me. But LOVE said, "Is taken care of." LOVE stood... A detour. Thank you for reading! Which part of the poem resonates with you? Share your thoughts. Please leave a comment. Copyright 2025 K.A. Smith

Origami Girl
Introduction This is inspired by the thousand origami cranes in the Olive Coffee Shop which threw me back to when I and someone very close were both in hospital. We talked and chatted daily and she shared the amazing origami cranes that she made while she was there.

Live Authentically: Embrace Your True Self
Don’t be afraid of smooth talkers who say you are not mature enough. Don’t worry about smart people who claim you are not wise enough. And never accept the life others recommend to you without question. Instead, choose to stay true to yourself, follow your ideals, and listen to the call of your heart—only then can you live the most fulfilling life.
