Oh, beloved, it’s not you.
You’re not to blame for what they do.
A blossom in the midst of thorns
Is not to blame for bitter scorn.
You shine your light in your own way,
Nevermind what nays they say.
Those of us with working eyes
Are better able to surmise
The endless value had in you.
So find your bliss.
To that, be true.

Why angst over you?
All you say and think and do?
What gains have you from tearing
Into your own living, sharing?
Why not accept, embrace the strange
Instead of forcing Self to change?
If you are harming not a soul,
And have yourself under control,
Keep and treasure what defines,
Surrendering all that confines.
Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed and Be You!

Tenderly
I hope to be
A bit more mindful of the needs
Of other folks,
But also me,
So I can live more carefully,
Holistically,
Spiritually,
And lovingly.
Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed!
If my poetry moves you, leave a comment or give a gift!
If you want to care,
Then care for you;
After all, you’re human, too.
Go from still
To work and back;
You cannot give from what you lack.
Nourish now,
And later, give.
In doing don’t forget to live.
Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed!
To sit in Peace
Is sweet Release
When all labors (even briefly) cease.
The feeling’s blessed
When taking rest,
In ways I never would have guessed.
Create a break,
A moment make,
Away from all you undertake.
You just might find,
As you unwind,
You’re doing work of another kind.
