I’ve got such sweet peace inside now,
some of the best I’ve ever had
it really makes me glad
hope I can bring inspiration,
instead of being a drag

Choice
Today, what’s your choice?
Will you focus on those with
a negative voice?
or will you focus your heart on
goodness, faith, peace, and joy?

Vision
Sometimes the silver linings,
through life’s tears & haze
may be hard to see
but that doesn’t mean that
they aren’t there,
sometimes we just need some help
to give our vision clarity

Victories (A Great Reminder)
Sometimes the greatest victories
are won through courage,
sacrifice, pain & sorrow,
Don’t give up hope in the
midst of your storm
Be thankful for your yesterdays,
todays & tomorrows

Ultimately, decided to take the advice I was given regarding this blog, and not retire it (as you can see) I did have a pretty sweet break & am actually very refreshed.
I’ll just write when I have the most time, highest energy & best inspiration.
Sing & Shine
Awaken the muses in your mind,
forget your blues,
the day’s difficulties,
for a time,
share with us a new thing,
let your art loose,
let your heart & passion sing
& shine

Shout Out
I wanted to write this shout out
to my fellow poets
I’ve seen some say they’re having their doubts
That they have anything left worth writing about
You haven’t truly lost it, friends
Though there may be moments when
it feels like it’s gone with the wind
Don’t let your doubt win
Inspiration, it will stir in
your soul again

Church, Corbett & Cash
I’m jamming to my playlist
People like Church, Corbett & Cash
They put their heart & soul into it all
They wouldn’t settle for trash
I love them for
The trails that they blazed
the blood, the sweat & tears they gave
the songs they wrote & sang
I’ll forever thank them for that
They are the coolest cats

Pages
Successfully got my ISP switched over, glad to be back you all!
I hope life’s been treating you all well
I’d love to gather w/my readers
& sit for a spell, just chilling out
Listening to any stories you may
have to tell
As for me, I got a new book of poetry
for my anniversary, it’s a pretty neat read
You’d know the poet if I wrote his name
His work’s been around for ages
It can be pretty inspiring
Watching a fellow poet bleed their feelings out
onto reams & reams of pages

A Million Things
There are a million things
that could inspire a poetic line,
like people out swimming,
enjoying sunshine
or a question as simple as:
Have you ever caught the wind
whistling a melody
through northern pines?
I don’t know your answer, but I’ll give mine,
I have, and to me, it sounds stunningly fine
By: J.N.R Dutton
Inside
Whether you choose to write
in free verse all the time
or are more into rhyme
I just advise
Use your talents wisely
Nurture them so they can grow
Tell the stories you know
and express the soul
that’s inside
