I rolled out of bed
Went to my window
Opened my curtains
Then my blinds
There you were
Once again
You looked at me
I looked at you
So beautiful
Dressed in white
Looked spectacular
Yet…
I wanted you to go
Leave
What I need
Is
A warm
Gentle
Comforting embrace
Feeling your love from the light you emit
The words
“Over you”
Kept competing with
Your beauty and solitude
I love you
I appreciate you
I am grateful
For all you have given me
In this season
Of my life
Making my morning coffee
Tending to the sink of dishes
I looked out my window
Once again
I saw you
You are here
You are there
You are everywhere I am
Made my way
To the front door
Stopping first
To grab my coat
It was in the entryway closet
Fresh
Morning
Air
Greeted me
(and so did you)
On my front porch
Yes
We met again
You were there
How about
We stop meeting like this?
The words-
Over you
Repeated over and over again
In my head
As I reached
For
My blue shovel
I thought
It’s time for a clearing
You've gotta go
I pushed you away
I kept trying
To push you away
Do this with
With my own strength
Make you
Go away
You’re cold
You give me chills
Up and down my spine
You linger
Every day
So it seems
How long will you be here?
What makes you want to stay?
I receive no response
Rather
Remnants and evidence
Of you existence
Instead
It’s not my timing
Oh how I know
Instead
God it is yours
Patience
Is a must
For this I do trust
Change
It's happening
For some things
I do not know
Nor see
Whenever
What it is planted
Most certainly will grow
In God's timing
In due season
Force not
Nor rush
For what is meant to be
Will be
Just trust
Wait
And
See

Hello and welcome,
I am so glad we have crossed paths!
It’s no accident you are here!
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, notice and read.
As a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher (and so much more), I see the world through my lens. From the way I was raised, to every experience, moment, and circumstance in life, has shaped the way I think and see the world.
For several years now, I have been walking more closely with God, getting to know Him, how He speaks to me and through me. He has given me the ability to write, a way to express how I am feeling and what I am going through. This has been a beautiful, crazy kind of journey where much healing is taking place. A time where I need to offer myself up some grace and appreciate the hard work, dedication, and commitment to creating a better version of myself.
I am learning how to work through and release old trauma, healing, shedding old layers of myself, accepting and embracing my true and authentic self. Getting to know the new me has been quite foreign, especially when the old wants to cling to what is familiar, old habits and mindsets.
Writing has been my saving grace (and photography is right up there too). An outlet, a way to release, a way to pause, reflect and see there is more than what my mind is leading me to believe. God’s word, His voice is there. When I keep Him first, above all things, I’ve realized things work out for my greater good, my higher purpose.
I hope you enjoy and find words of wisdom you can relate to!
