The Ancient Tree
The Ancient Tree I found an old tree standing proud, Its branches reached beyond the sky. Each twisted limb held whispered tales, Of countless years gone drifting by.

We’ve Never Needed a Drink
We’ve Never Needed a Drink I’ve never been one for a glass of wine, Nor reached for spirits at the close of day. A cup of tea has always been enough, Its gentle warmth has never led astray.

A Proper Cup of Tea
A Proper Cup of Tea There’s comfort waiting in a simple cup, A quiet moment when the world slows down. The kettle sings its familiar little tune,

People enjoy causing pain, Speaking words they shouldn't utter. They express themselves freely To friends, children, or spouses.

Mine Your Own Gold
In this life, never waste your talents. Are you willing to love yourself? Can you sincerely cheer for your own life? The greatest tragedy in life is dying without ever seeing your true self—reaching the very end without being able to acknowledge or accept yourself, without being able to like or appreciate yourself, and without being able to genuinely celebrate yourself.

Permission.
Permission by Shannon Lemire My mother gave me my first diary with a lock and a key. The key was impossibly small. I remember turning it, hearing that tiny click, lifting the cover as though I had just unlocked a room no one else knew existed.

Listen!
Listen! That Is the sound Of life rushing past you The cacophony of childhood laughter, The nervous breaths of school drama

Caffeine Is The Adult Version of Fairy Dust
Caffeine Is The Adult Version of Fairy Dust Before the world begins to stir, Before the dawn has found its light, I wrap my hands around my mug And greet the silence of the night.

“Light Over the Earth”
“Light Over the Earth” Today a world of peace Is being turned into a world of grief, Grief for the division of light As shadows rise and try to steal the night. But even when the darkness grows, A brighter truth still softly glows. I send light, I send love, I send peace from up above. Let it rise, Let it release, Let it calm this trembling earth And bring our weary hearts relief. Darkness tries to build its throne, A fortress made of fear and stone. Despair is a sadness that doesn’t care It pulls the spirit into heavy air. But light can spark, ignite, and climb, Breaking walls one truth at a time. I send light, I send love, I send peace from up above. Let it rise, Let it release, Let it calm this trembling earth And bring our weary hearts relief. Despite the cultures built on spite, Despite the wounds that steal our sight, Despite the hate that tries to reign, Love still walks through every pain. Light remembers what we forgot We heal the world by what we’ve got. I send light, I send love, I send peace from up above. Let it rise, Let it release, Let it wash across the earth And bring our weary hearts relief I send light… I send love… I send peace.

Those delicate threads tore apart again
Those thin threads have snapped again How fragile they always were Flimsy, severed one by one Until nothing remained, a pure, white void

The Blue Path
Road scattered with blue dragonflies Tiny streaks lighting up my eyes Reprogramming my mind once more Focusing on what matters to me
