Day 214: “Speck of Hope”
I saw a speck of hope today
I picked it up
Held it close
I never want to lose that speck
So I’ll dress it up
Give it a name
And tuck it in my pocket
To be my shine on a cloudy day
Day 214: “Speck of Hope”

Day 207: “Subconscious Grief”
Loss
Feels like a fading away
A slipping through my fingers
Lack
Not enough time
Love still to give
I can’t comprehend it
Can’t believe
He’s gone
They’re all gone
It doesn’t make sense
My dreams are full of attempts at changing it
Bringing him back
Actually, he never left
It doesn’t feel fair,
okay
It’s definitely not right
Sometimes I see the beauty in life and death
But more often than not I just feel sad
Mad
Oh so upset
There’s no resolution
Grief is a fickle thing
I guess I’ll just turn out the light
Try to get some sleep
And see if he’ll visit me in my dreams
Day 196: “Lady Luck”
Luck
is my middle name
It follows me everywhere
Luck
Lives in my mind
My body
A state of mind
Luck is a choice
An intention
A philosophy
I choose to be lucky
To approach the world with an unwavering trust
That all is working in my favor
I can’t wait to see what the future holds
Day 189: “Stay the Course”
The future I envision
makes my heart swell
my face light up
my body relax
my soul smile
It centers me
Pushes me
Steers me
Let me figure out how to make it happen
Day 153: “Inspirational Incantation”
There’s no impossible
When you’re dreaming
Day 114: “Dream Home”
We wake up
The sun shines effortlessly through our large bay windows
Overlooking the pond
Our room is big enough for us
And our king-size bed
And a reading nook by the window
I walk into the closet for my soft, fuzzy robe
And take the stairs down to the kitchen
Light, bright
Black and white and gold accents everywhere
Modern, effortless, but cozy
Makes me feel rich
Matching, beautiful appliances
Trees changing colors outside,
Visible through the windows
I take my coffee in the sun room
I read
Rest
Write
Enjoy life
The space is ours
And our cat’s
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood
