Nothing bloomswithout first being buried;seems I've spent most of my lifeunderground waiting,gripping the darkness,but denial is shapeshifting,roots repeatedly rejecteddespite the yearning. This time, maybe...the maybe the bravest part,for the doubt is the droughtwhen the clouds becomequenchingly dark. Perhaps only faithin love and the dreamcan fertilize the seed,and only continued beliefkeep the sprout growing. I suppose … Continue reading Spring Trepidation
Daydreams rise up and become infusedinto the golden clouds on their way tothat place unseen but guaranteedto exist just for the ones who fully believe in all the things conceivedfrom purity, beauty, and truth,each sunset, kissed and renewed.I release my heart again for you.When it arrives,you will hold it again so tenderly tight,and when you fall … Continue reading Infused With You
Cryogenically-preserved heart guarded with blades of ice, lying low, preferring alone, but the romantic dreams so carefully preserved inside. Not deliberately hiding and you were not looking, but the gods in mixing the seasons led you to find me. I was faded in protective hibernation, but your love warmed me like morning sun. Your heart … Continue reading A Heart Out of Hibernation
As the sun sets, and sangria kisses my lips, I twirl white petals in my fingertips, manipulating them into the frame, and with my dreams, I do the same, as if the halo of the golden light will bring my heart's desires to life, and for added measure, or perhaps because I can't help but … Continue reading Evening Petals
Heart-sensors extra sensitive, picking up mixed signals of every human emotion, eyes brim with unidentified sadness but do not spill over, for tears that mix simultaneously with happiness get recalled to the cauldron to start over in the feelings-concoction, stirred not by hand but all that I am, have been through, have yet to see, … Continue reading Mystery to Me
Sometimes you need to let go of both the past and present to make room for your future waiting so patiently to embrace you if your heart and arms were not so full of nonliving yesterdays and unfulfilling todays; though they may haunt and though they may sustain, it is only your future that can … Continue reading Drops of Time
Ocean, timeless. All stages and walks of life equally embraced, welcoming the soul to seek and find... No two secrets alike, but the sea harbors so many similar dreams, secret pleas whispered, its waves filled with such murmurs... Some search for shells, some for treasures, some look for those bottles with rolled up letter-answers, some … Continue reading Ocean Timeless
They even closed the beach during the supposed pandemic. And with all that has been going on in the world weighing so heavily upon my sensitive heart, those initial barefoot steps upon the boardwalk bridge began immediately changing me inside once again, and I needed it, once again. The bridge between the world and the … Continue reading Fleeing Land
Unintentionally slipping away from Moon as my dreams the stars granted start to come true, like so many slip away from God after their pleas are spilled and tears dry up. But I am even closer to Him after the showers of blessings, with humble gratitude and daily thanksgiving. So I apologize … Continue reading Away from Moon
The thing about hope-feathers and wishies is that they depend on the breeze for launching. On this still day, sorrow wants to hang so heavily, but perhaps instead, I'll lend a soft breath just to keep these someday dreams from dying completely. All words and images on this site ©LauraDenise
