Safeguarding my heart, mind, and soul
Ensuring my peace and keeping me whole
Choosing strength over fear
Upholding boundaries, drawing near
Reassured of who I am
Empowered to reach for my star
Secure I am

This is here and right now
Sitting with a pen in hand
Loving that I write in multiple styles
Different types of ways to create
With Ray there is no copy and paste
Creating on a daily
Trying to keep it steady
This is here and right now
Staring at the notepad in hand
Loving how the ideas flow
Different stories grow
With Ray there is more than poetry
Creating magical, fantasy and life stories
Trying and wanting to not bore you
This is here and right now
Sitting with my pen and notepad
-Here and Now-
Blessings and Love!
Thank you for reading.

Fly be free
Spread your wings and fly
Fly high and above
Above those who said you would not make it
Spread your wings and fly
Fly with a smile and pride
Fly and leave the troubles and problems behind
Spread your wings and fly
Fly freely controlling your own life
Fly and become your dreams
Fly and take those risk
Spread your wings and fly
Fly freely and be you!
Thank you for reading.
Time flies past us
As life goes on
Time
Something we have no control over
Time
Waits for no one
Time
We think we have more of it
Think again we really don’t
Time
With life combines, can be chaos
Time
Here and now
Moving at a fast pace
Slows down for NONE
Time
While we stand still, waiting and wanting more
Times flies by us
With no worries
No commitments
Time
Comes with regret, hurt, lost, pain, sadness, numbness
Time
Brings life problems
Time moving fast
Time something we cannot stop
But we must keep moving
Time
Something life will never
Be without
Life goes on, no matter what
Time
We stand by and watch
Time
Again, we cannot stop
Whether we want to or not
-Time-

My shadows deep and whispers low, I tread a path so lone
Where echoes of my footsteps keep a rhythm, soft, monotone
Around me, souls reach out in hope, their warmth a fleeting day
Yet, in this dance, I falter and choose instead to push away
The world is a tapestry of bonds, threads intertwining tight
Each stitch a promise, colored bright, against the fall of night
But fear, like frost, creeps in my heart, turning warmest gold to gray
And in my chill, I draw the veil and gently push away
Why do I guard this fortress, keep its gates so closely drawn?
Why do I fear the touch of dawn, the light before the morning?
Perhaps in solitude, I find bittersweet dismay
For, in the end, it’s me I’ve lost each time I push away
Yet, in the quiet hope whispers, a tender, fragile strain
Maybe bridges can be built where only walls remain
With cautious steps, could I reach out, let in the light of day?
Or will I wander, evermore, a soul that pushes away?
-Push Away-
Blessings and Love!
Thank you for reading.
Soft healing begins
Healing like warm rain
Like dawn brushing tender light
Falling on the quiet ache
Over tired bones
Slow forgiving light
I rise where the hurt once lived
I mend in small tender steps
Carried by a calmer breath
Held by softness as I rise
Knowing that I am healing in small tender steps
Still
Going and going and going
-Healing In Small Steps-

Stop for a moment, let your thoughts just pause
Breathe in deeply, let your worries take a pause
Relax your mind, let your tensions softly fade
Pause and breathe, a moment’s peace is made.
Blessings and Love!

In my mind, a constant battle waged
A war between reason and impulse, uncaged
I knew what was right, what I should do
Yet self-sabotage always seemed to ensue.
Hurting those I loved, leaving them in tears
My actions driven by my deepest fears
I couldn’t seem to break free of this curse
My inner demons, my own worst enemy, perverse.
I pushed away those who wanted to help
My stubbornness, my pride, my greatest yelp
But deep down inside, I knew the truth
That I was the cause of my own abuse.
It took time and effort to turn things around
To break free of the chains that had me bound
Apologies were made, amends were sought
And slowly but surely, my life was re-wrought.
It’s not easy to face the harm we’ve caused
To admit our faults, to remove the gauze
But in doing so, we can find redemption
And learn to love ourselves without exception.
But damn sometimes it’s the
Self sabotage
That gets us!
Blessings and Love
Thank you for reading.
The truth came not as a whisper
Just raw
But a loud thunderclap at dawn
Shattering the silence
We’d built our lives upon
It wore no mask of mercy
No veil to soften the blow
Just raw
An unvarnished memory
Of things we didn’t know
It peeled back painted stories
Exposed the hidden seams
Turning lullabies into warnings
And daylight into dreams
We begged it to be more kinder
To lie just one more time
But truth does not negotiate
With comfort or with crime
It named the ghosts we buried
Uncloaked the quiet pain
And stitched our hearts with needles
Of loss we can’t explain
Yet in its cruel unveiling
A strange release was found
For trauma born of honesty
Still walks on solid ground
So let it burn the pages
Let it flood the past with light
Truth may wound without permission
But it never hides from sight!
Blessings and Love!
Thank you for reading.
