Dream
This hauntingly daunting feeling The unreality of watching my dreams unfold before my eyes Watching them rip off their disguise

The Rollercoaster of Life
Life’s a ride with its ups and downs, Full of smiles and occasional frowns, Just hold on real tight, Through day and through night,

The ceiling was never meant to be stone
This glass does not shatter on its’ own, Beneath brightened stars and dreams we make, The ceiling was never meant to be stone.

Delicate
Being soft in a concrete world does not mean I am fragile. My compassion, My Empathy does not mean I am easily swayed

THE INVISIBLE SOUL
The Invisible Soul** A spirit unseen, a heart unknown, A soul that wanders, all alone. A silent whisper, a gentle sigh, A flicker of hope, that will not die. Invisible, yet deeply felt, A presence strong, that cannot melt. A guiding light, a steady hand, A beacon shining, across the land. Though unseen, its power's clear, A force that drives us, year by year. A spark of life, a flame that glows, A spirit that forever grows. So let us cherish, this unseen friend, A soul that guides us, to the end. A constant presence, ever near, A source of strength, dispelling fear.

GOD LOVES US
**A Shepherd's Care** Like sheep within a fold, we stray, Sometimes lost, upon our way. But Thou, our Shepherd, kind and true, Dost guide and guard us through and through. Thy watchful eye, forever near, Dispels our doubts, our fears to cheer. Thy loving hand, a gentle guide, Through stormy seas, where dangers hide. Thy rod and staff, our comfort be, In valleys deep, by waters free. Thy presence fills us, heart and soul, As we toward our journey's goal. So let us trust, with hearts made whole, Thy loving care, Thy sweet control. For Thou art Shepherd, strong and wise, Who leads us safe, to paradise.

As he departed, he clasped my right hand gently, A tender press, like a whisper of solace, An unspoken vow danced in that moment,

the scavenger's daughter
i poison roses into shriveled sentiments i should appreciate while they thrive; instead, i wonder how anyone could like a dustheap, a magpie hoarding detrimental matter that makes it hard to sleep at night. i can revamp a warm house into a hellfire i’m too guilt-ridden to escape. i can deform a golden heart into a torture device with my thumbscrewed-up brain. i’m the scavenger’s daughter wrenching herself out of shape, warping a beautiful person, or what could be, into something to hate.

Sleepless Gifts. Top Story - August 2024.
Still nights, when insomnia and imagination coalesce, I find myself a captive audience to the Intone. The white noise suffuses every inch, every corner, every pore. Sit in "silence" now. Go on, turn off your
