When I see the world
of wise old trees
Misty topped mountains
and unsettled seas
The glory of all is in the sky above
with a soft image of colours,
sunbeams and doves
The heavenly rays
of light so warm
On a sea of blue
and clouds of a storm
Scents are crisp
with hints of rain
The crunch of leaves
with their coloured veins
I slowly take in
all the beauty around
Soon a blanket of snow
will cover the ground
By~ Lisa
Calm and quite under the sea
where it’s so dark and cold around me
I hold my breath and look to the surface
there is a soft light shining down with purpose.
The storm has receded and it’s time to regroup
all ready to deal with what I must recoup
swimming up it seems so far away
my arms feel like they are papier-mâché.
It must be close because the water is warm
the surface is sparkling like a perfect art form
the light, it draws me up and it feels so right
not like the depths below that are as cold as night.
I wave goodbye to the silence of the sea
because under the water is no place for me
my heart wants to cry and dance and sing
it wants to be a part of everything.

her throat felt swollen
tight with a lump
things that she felt
just wouldn’t come out
she tucked it away and ignored it
but the feelings continued to stew
if she left it for too long
worse things would start to brew
a vice grip on her emotions
she tried to forget them and go on
further away she pushed herself
until she was withdrawn
it spread into her psyche
her worth was marred in doubt
she told herself stories
there seemed to be no way out
when it got too much
she’d fix enough to get her through
but soon that wasn’t good enough
there was more work she had to do
slowly she worked and soon
it was clear what had to be done
she had to find her courage
not continue to try and run
she searched for her courage
her thoughts began to change
she dug deep down to find it
things no longer felt so strange
that familiar feeling of knowing
expressing herself without fear
once again found its rightful place
and all the worry could disappear
~ Lisa M K
Hope is a light that shines from within
It keeps me going when strife creeps in
When I feel uneasy or anxiety comes up
It’s what I cling to when feelings run amuck
The frayed edges of doubt make me insecure
my mind is spinning and I feel unsure
I breathe in deeply and focus inside
soon hope will find me and be my guide
An ocean of currents brings unknowns
the sea in my mind is in a cyclone
anchoring down I plead for some peace
just then my light ignites and a great hope is released
By: Lisa
Wishing peace and love to all♥️
I looked at the window
It was blurred by the rain
It was unrelenting and loud
As it whipped up on the pane
I stood there and stared
The moment was long
Like a slow motion movie
I felt something was wrong
You were standing alone
Under your umbrella out there
It was strange to see you
The wind was blowing your hair
I ran out to stand with you
So you wouldn’t be alone
Storms come and they go
What they bring is unknown
We’ll weather that storm
Strong together us two
No matter what happens
I will be there for you.

Looking desperately for something
Imagine what could it be?
Just a place to feel loved
Where there is not any fee
.
Where appearances are nothing
But the look in your eye
That alluring beauty within
Far too bright to deny
.
Things that look perfect
Are not what they seem
If you aren’t careful
Harsh judgments will stream
.
Everyone has shadows
A darkness they keep
And those stares of disapproval
Gouge down far too deep
.
Faith in true goodness
It’s been lost for some time
Everyone is looking
So they can’t be taken while blind
.
But when it’s real it’s ignored
Like it can’t possibly persist
Nothing seems to be trusted
How can we all exist?
.
Give faith to that feeling
You know it inside
Your gut isn’t lying
Don’t enable fear to decide
.
It’s real, feel it,
it wants you to see
That if you will receive it
Forever true it will be

Art & poem by: 𝓛𝓲𝓼𝓪✨
With so many on the table
How could you already know
That an important piece is missing
You can’t go on until it shows
I scramble to turn them all over
Try to see the picture in my mind
Nothing comes up clearly
I don’t think it’s something I can find
Life can be so dirty
A mess you can’t seem to keep clean
Trying to make some sense of it
To know what it all could mean
I step back for perspective
There’s no rush to know it all
Sitting with an uneasy feeling
But knowing that it’s still safe to fall
Cause you’ll be there to catch me
I feel you gently let me down
At least I’m not alone here
And I like the way that sounds
That piece that had been missing
There’s no worry cause it’s here
All that time I spent wondering
Now everything is sweet and clear
By: Lisa♥️
I’ve got no place I’m headed
Nowhere I feel at home
I’ll travel the world to seek something
Just not sure what I’m looking for…
Trying to find a reason
To go on in this world of pain
Can’t find the beauty in the sunshine
All I can feel is the cold rain
One day I saw you there
I stopped running and saw where I belong
You gave me this sudden feeling
I couldn’t breathe it was so strong
Now I have a meaning
and it feels like the world was meant for me
For me to be with you
Cause loving you is all I need
