“I will not be another flower, picked for my beauty and left to die. I will be wild, difficult to find and impossible to forget.”

Erin Van Vuren

You pass thru my mind

Like rain on a pasture

Sometimes gently,

a sprinkle on a sunny day

Liquid sunshine,

refreshing with each drop

Sometimes crashing in,

like a storm

Darkness,

thunder,

lightning

Thrilling thru the first rift

Then the destruction sets in

Tossing and turning my emotions

Ripping and tearing at my heart

Then suddenly,

mysteriously the calm returns

In gentle mists

like at the end of a storms rage

You pass thru my mind

Like rain on a pasture

Dear Me,

I use to dress you up,

fuss and fidget over clothes,

spend hours getting ready,

from your head down to your toes,

high-heels and silk stockings,

the best perfume and make-up,

you were always on the go.

Now your dress is much more casual,

company shirt and pair of jeans,

hair gets quickly spun into a bun,

there’s just not enough time it seems,

no perfume and no make up,

just out the door you go,

Oh how I wish it wasn’t so.

I promise to dress you up again,

when fall arrives and the weather cools,

we’ll fuss and fidget like back then,

use all the old-school tools,

curls, makeup, and perfume,

silk stockings and high heels,

from your head down to your toes,

I will take the time,

you will look sublime,

even if we have nowhere to go.

Love,

Me

He said, “Don’t you feel lonely living in your own little world?”. She whispered, “Don’t you feel powerless living in other peoples worlds?”

I run to you,

Carrying a fragmented heart,

Leaving behind a chest overflowing with broken dreams.

I run to you,

Mind and heart racing,

Believing in love again.

I run to you,

Ready to explore the possibilities,

Filled with hope and faith.

I run to you,

Owning nothing,

With only myself to offer.

You don’t have to worry

about my flirting abilities

but heed this fair WARNING:

I may seduce you with my

awkwardness and my

endearing quirky ways

Feeling thankful for my family, my friends, my job, my home, and you. Yes, you, the one reading this. Did you know that our sub-conscious minds (some might prefer “our souls”) communicate regardless of what logic might tell us? I send positive energy to you every day through prayer and good thoughts, and I collect positive energy from you. Thank you, for being a part of my life. Maybe we have met and know each other well, but even if we have never met in person in this life, our souls know each other and I am blessed because of it. I hope you feel blessed too 💞

The heart can often see

what’s invisible to the eye

and oceans are never crossed

by standing on the shoreline.

You realize etiquette is ridiculous when

you are all getting ice cream cones and

etiquette says you should WAIT

for everyone to be served

before you eat….

then your ice cream

is melting

down the sides of the cone

and over your fingers

because

“Ice cream DON’t wait”
