Just Breathe


Stop and listen to the beauty of the new day. Then breathe. Again.

Have I told you lately, but not today The alluded charm has beat down my doors? Perhaps You know not what I am talking about Or where this comes from, if not the heart Hiding behind the shadow of smiles, reality drifting I’m coming apart

I heard you whisper to my heart So far away The distance in the forever range Can it be my mind playing games? Yet I close my eyes, and my soul smiles Tossing out the truth for a while

Wherever you go, go with all your heart - Confucius



A flower. There must be a flower always, to color my world. This picture is dedicated to #MondayRed #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra.

Whispered words, cannot be heard But, only by the heart As it should be My love, my love

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.

they set my aunts house on fire i cried the way women on tv do folding at the middle like a five pound note. i called the boy who use to love me tried to ‘okay’ my voice i said hello he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying, and these are what my prayers look like; dear god i come from two countries one is thirsty the other is on fire both need water.

later that night i held an atlas in my lap ran my fingers across the whole world and whispered, "where does it hurt?" it answered,

"everywhere" "everywhere" "everywhere"

  • @ikarus56(62)· 2670d

    What a nice poem at the end. And your shots are great. Your posts always bring some good vibrations to me.

  • @ackhoo(71)· 2670d

    I love these shots, hints of loveliness of the blooms... Its my current phase of not all absolute photos but more pictures that evoke the emotive, rather than just eye candy! Lol - that sounds so unlike me!!

  • @msp-creativebot(64)· 2670d

    The air is clear and rarefied, Vibrations cutting a path. Silence is where the truth lies. A shuddering intake between each slow strum. Cross the weeping guitar of this life

    Now that spring is here I find myself being able to stop and enjoy little moments of peace. I sit on the porch looking at all the pretty colors of nature and enjoy the silence of the natural world. I like all your pink flowers. Here purple flowers are everywhere. It seems here in TN purple is a dominant natural color out here in the woods.

  • @starjewel(69)· 2671d

    Lovely 😊 Are these your poems? Wonderful words. Photos are beautiful too. 💕

  • @momzillanc(62)· 2671d

    Brilliant. I've missed your photography and poetry the past couple of months. My very elderly iMac gave up the ghost back in March after eleven years without a breath of trouble. 🥺 It's taken this long to arrange getting a new one. Just got the new iMac set up yesterday evening! 😎

    A moment of zen is assured with a visit to your blog. Are your peonies in bloom already? Lucky. My fave flower for looks, especially the deep red ones. Freesia and lilacs for scent.

    I remember as a child when I saw my first peony. If I could have imagined the perfect flower, it was it.

  • @roky(66)· 2671d
