grateful silence
heart beating
memories dancing
creative talents
pulsating calmly
eagerness awaits
future unknown
What I'm currently feeling
I'm at my desk feeling such peace; strange but true.
Raindrops fall outside my large window with a view.
The leaves are barely hanging onto the tree,
and the reflection in my mirror resembles me.
As I surround myself with personal possessions,
Some of my coworkers believe I have an obsession
They're just candles, photos, flowers and dreams.
Imagine the emptiness, how strange would that seem?
For nineteen years, I've worked in this place.
The lack of passion is written on my face.
The Lord has a place for me, He's yet to reveal.
I can hear Him whispering, my child be still

A rookie Haiku...

My mind is racing
Toward the silence of now
Wanting to linger.

Why is it that women have:
Cramps
Bloating
Do I look fat in this
Too tight bras
Uncomfortable lingerie
3'' Stilletos
Bad hair days
Chocolate cravings
Men that stare
Men that think they have a chance
Men that can't fix sh_t
Those last 10 lbs
Scales that lie
1 pair of good jeans
Stretch marks
Old love letters
Too much make up
Too little sleep
Endless to do list
Butts like our mothers
Hearts bigger than a globe
and all men have are inexpensive
haircuts and remote controls?

she loves him, she loves him not...
don't know if she is in love with him
or in love with the way he loves her
or could it be that she's simply in love
with the thought of being in love?

Haiku
This past weekend I read a Haiku written by Nikki Giovanni and it was simply 17 syllables. Not the standard 5-7-5. WOW! Another serendipity moment for me. So here's mine...* On August 16, 2009
I witnessed my first shooting star
What's the status of your dreams?
What happens to a dream
deferred
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore
and the run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sages
Like a heavy load
Or does it Explode?
