The story that you tell yourself

, , , , , , 0

The story that you tell yourself
is all that makes you who you are
be kind, be patient, be gentle
with all of the you that’s here
be loving, be embracing, be accepting
with all of the you that’s not

The story that you tell yourself
is entirely yours to tell
tell it the way you want it heard
the way you want to show and tell
for you deserve the very best you’ve got
and nothing less should do

The story that you tell yourself
make it sweet in every sound
you deserve the best each day
especially a self-love that is true
for the world already knows and loves,
embraces and accepts, all of you.

When my heart is heavy

, , , , , , , 0

On the days my heart is heavy
And my chest feels constricted tight
There’s not much to do, I suppose
But rest and not put up a fight

To lie back and ride the waves
As rough seas bob up and down
Just hold on tight and stay afloat
Pray for a moments calm

It does help to always remember
That highs without lows cannot exist
And every star that twinkles
Needs the darkness to surround
For we cannot experience life
Without both it’s valleys and it’s mounds

So as I wait for the clouds to clear
For the sun to shine again
I find in my secret arsenal of promise
The whole of who I am
One who is of value, of worth and stature true
I bring my gifts of talents, strengths and wonders too

So on the days when my heart feels heavy
I sit and rest a while
I remind myself, this too shall pass
I’ll soon begin again with a smile.

Believing in Magic

, , , , , , , 0

I wish I could teach you
just how to believe in magic
in the wonders all around you
that all happen as we speak

It is hard to explain
how to trust in serendipity
the letting go and believing
in things not quite yet reality

When you begin to understand
that coincidences are not imagination
nor just simply happenstance
but the Universe in pure fluid motion

That dreams have their place first
in fields of hope and trusting
that all you can imagine
is entirely yours for the taking

Trust in the process
in the value that is you
believe that all you are asking for
is well and truly meant for you.

Belonging everywhere, belonging nowhere

, , , , , 0

There is a certain romanticism
In belonging everywhere
At home in every town, every city, every square

To be welcomed by everyone
Dispensing with the universal stare
Warmly embraced, brought in to bosom
Brother, that’s what you are to me

There is a certain wonderment
In belonging just nowhere
No claim to any land , nor hillock, nor blue sea

To be invisible to passersby
Ignored at every corner and every turn
Wander unrecognised, not a whisper, not a care
Stranger you be, that is all you are to me.

Some days are just for quiet

, , , , , , , 0

Some days are just for quiet
A gentle reckoning
A time to be silent still
So the contemplation can begin

It’s when some change has just begun
When there has been a rock-rollin’
When differences doth surround
And it’s difficult to settle in

Taking some time out for quiet
Is the right true bravest way
Is it any use to get lost
and caught up in the fray

So settle down in comfort
To your armchair have a rest
To listen to the quiet
Focus on your heart’s behest

For if the noise that surrounds you
Distracts you from your peace
Distance yourself for silence
Be still and rest at least

There’s nothing more important
Than clarity of the mind
Than pursuits of happiness
To yourself be kind

Some days are just for quiet
Be still and listen in
Be generous to your own true self
Embrace the value of you within
