Comfort zone

I took a step and with new strength
I’d never felt before,
I kissed my comfort zone “goodbye”
and closed and locked the door.

I couldn’t let my life go by.
Just watching others win.
I held my breath and stepped outside
and let the change begin.

I claimed to be so busy
with the things inside my zone,
but deep inside I longed for
someone special of my own.

I said it didn’t matter,
that I wasn’t doing much
I said I didn’t care for things
like diamonds, furs and such.

I longed so much to do the things
I’d never done before,
but I stayed inside my comfort zone and
paced the same old floor

I use to have a comfort zone
where I knew I couldn’t fail
the same four walls of busy work
were really more like jail

If you are in a comfort zone
afraid to venture out,
remember that all winners were
at one time filled with doubt.

A Step or two and words of praise,
can make your dreams come true.
Greet your future with a smile,
success is there for you!

As morning sweetly enters

As morning sweetly enters
Flowers blooming best
Crystal beads of dew drops
On petals that are blest

Magic in sweet nature
Each day of perfect bliss
Watch so close the dawning
Awake to happiness

Stopping for a moment
To breathe the air so clean
Cleansed by all the dew drops
Such beauty so serene

Walk among the flowers
Smell the fragrance rare
Rolling hills and mountains
What majesty is there

Colors all emerging
Like rainbows fill the sky
Upon the earth this miracle
How can you pass this by

Heart is filled with pleasure
With every sweet bouquet
Offered like a special prayer
I give to you this day.

Attitude determines altitude

I woke up early today, excited over all that I
get to do before the clock strikes midnight.
I have responsibilities to fulfill today.
I am important.
My job is to choose what kind of day
I am going to have.

Today I can complain
because the weather is rainy
or I can be thankful that the grass
is getting watered for free.

Today I can feel sad
because I don’t have more money or
I can be more grateful
for the many things that I already have.

Today I can grumble about my health
or I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today I can lament over all that my parents
didn’t give me when I was growing up
or I can feel grateful
that they allowed me to be born.

Today I can cry because roses have thorns
or I can celebrate
that thorns have roses.

Today I can mourn for my lack of friends
or I can excitedly embark upon a quest
to discover new relationships.

Today I can whine
because I have to go to work
or I can shout for joy
because I have a job to do.

Today I can complain
because I have to go to school
or I can eagerly open my mind and fill it
with rich new tidbits of knowledge.

Today stretches ahead of me,
waiting to be shaped.
And here I am, the sculptor
who gets to do the shaping.

What today will be like is up to me.
I’m the one who gets to choose
what kind of day I will have!

Woman

Heavenly softness, sweet lips and soft hair
Her body inviting to explore everywhere
The scent of a woman , her arms open wide
Her heart full of love, her compassionate side

Her body so willing, she’ll melt in your arms
Her lips are so thrilling, her passion so strong
She’ll lift you to heaven and build you a fire
She’ll give you her body, she’ll give you desire

When was the last time

When was the last time you …

had a conversation with the moon?
or made a wish
on a falling star?
Held hope
of delicate things?
When was the last time
you got lost
in an enchanted wood?
Or were kissed by a prince
who turned into a frog?
Consulted a caterpillar?
Or kidnapped a mith
had a visit
from your fairy godmother
who turned pumpkins into coaches
and wishes
into wings
When was the last time you
tears cried lost
into the lake of longing
or sipped inspiration
from the pool of wonder?
or rose
victorious
like a phoenix …
from the ashes?
When did you last
lay your head
in the lap of awe
and listen to a song …
from a distant shore
called home?
leap – soar – explore
remember your dreams
and unseen things
sing with rapture
dance and dance
dance like a dervish
and when imagination knocks
open the door.
