Breaking Down Walls

{Post: 128/365}

Erasure poem form. (Taken from original post: The Power~03/13/2011 in the blog I AM LOVE)

the power

of a touch,

a smile,

a kind word,

a listening ear,

something you have said

or done

has made all the difference

some people build walls

to keep people out

sometimes they build walls

to see who cares enough

to get past them,

around them,

through them.

We should strive

to be people

who break down walls...

gently.

Courage

{Post: 126/365}

the quiet voice

inside

that says

yes you can

yes you should

STAND

whether you are 

afraid

or you are 

NOT

courage

is the ability

to

face everything

with strength

and 

fortitude

Inspired by this painting:
Healing With Art


my heart
creates roots
deep in the fibre of me
like the root system
of a tree
and as I grow
stronger
older
wiser
my heart opens
wider
and I am willing
to reach towards
the sky
or new people
with ever more
buds and blooms
of heart flowers and
connections
and joy

Confidence

of being

certain

and sure

abilities

Choice

{Post: 123/365}

having the ability

to weigh and measure

each option

presented in life

and

making your own

choice

is

right

and necessary

for ALL

yes or no

it is always

I Believe

{Post: 122/365}

I believe

that

I deserve

to be loved

and

I can give 

MY love

without FEAR

because I am worthy

I believe

that

whatever I WANT

to do

I CAN do

because

I am intelligent

and capable

and ABLE

I believe

that

I can

shine a light

in dark places

with my LOVE

with my HEART

with my SOUL

and that

I should

I believe

that everything

happens 

for a reason

to create a change

to teach a lesson

to help us grow

I believe

that

what is meant to be

will BE

will find its way

in its own right time

and fulfill a destiny

I believe

that people

come to you

for a moment

for a season

for a lifetime

for a purpose

and a meaning

in your life

I believe

that even the difficult people

can teach something

about life

about values

about respect

about love

or maybe the lack thereof

for themselves

and for you

and even

yours for yourself

LEARN

and

I believe

that you can be 

open for tomorrow

in your life 

and friendships

and let go

of yesterday

and of today

and not cling to

what has passed

if it is time to let go

LET GO

I believe

in LOVE

and loyalty

and to cherish

the people we love

for always

yet

sometimes

we do this 

by moving on 

and letting go

and it is

OK
