Breakthrough ...





BREAKTHROUGH

Looking into a glared mirror
Brown eyes viewing many smile lines 
That remind me of the stories they hold 
And the miles my feet have taken me 

Moments come and go in my mind 
Tears rolling down my pink cheeks 
Realizing I have such a long way to go 
Striving for the best version of myself 

These moments live within me 
Some snapshots have been silenced 
In a busy world that never goes quiet
Times that will never be erased 

I have visited calming spaces 
Walked stone covered beaches 
Sang songs as loud as I could 
To find a way to breakthrough 

My colored lips remain closed 
To keep all of my words in
Becoming a gatekeeper of my world
Until I can view the light easier

Finding calm in the everyday 
Rain that cleanses all
Blue skies that bring us hope 
A new season bringing us into a new year

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated
