Poem

At Night by MwsR

Night time comes for us all

Taking with it our troubles and dreams.

One will rest soundly,

While another screams.

For some dreams will be enlightening and helpful

But there are a handful,

Of us,we will be frightened by what our dreams will bring.

In our mind, these things are real, or so it seems.

The ones who rest soundly are unaware

That there,

Lying beside them is a person who is not

Someone who desperately is fighting a tightening knot.

Things left in our minds manifest in unusual ways, especially at night

Some will help, some will cause fright.

While one sleeps peaceful and unware,

Others have so much that they must bear.

Poem

Unknown Of It All by MwsR

Screaming inside, she felt it weigh on her

Was it a dream?

Her feelings came from the unknown of it all.

She would open her eyes,

Things fell into perspective,

Her cat removed himself from upon her,

Ah, such a relief to her.

Poem

Chances by MwsR

See the source image

Take a stance,

Each day is another chance

To shine, to make a different beginning,,

Even if your soul is struggling.

Sometimes in our most vulnerable states

We can, a difference make.

Life can be good

Even if sometimes we do not do what we should.

Despite all the sett backs and frustrations

Life is a rewarding and full of jubilation.

Often in defeat,

We can see when it is time to retreat,

Life has a way of instructing us, too

Humbling some, often with another chance or two.

Look at something from another way

Another perspective will often display

Things are there,

Make yourself aware

Reach for that higher “bar”

Surely, you will go far.

Poem

“Not today”, by MwsR

“Can I talk to you?” I say

You reply, “Not today.”

I wonder if you know the sleepless nights I lay awake and cry

Do you know how hard it has been? I feel like I could die.

I sometimes run for the phone thinking this time it will be you,

But it seldom ever is, oh how I wish it to be you, it’s true!

You say you’re busy and you say it’s okay.

But I know things are not that way.

I wonder if you contemplate your future for even a little?

Do you know you put us in the middle?

I wish that you had of listened while you were still here,

Then we would not have so much to endure.

Sometimes whether you acknowledge things or not

Time has a way of securing things into an endless knot.

The kind that burns down deep inside a person’s soul,

The one that wants let me let you go.

I often sit and think about the past

But I know it isn’t there that matters, it is in what is here that lasts.

If we can take what little we think we are or the little we have,

We can cover any wound, just like a salve.

Please come out of this funk you are in

Look around and start again.

Make the most of each day you’ve been given

Start taking charge and start believing.

Life gives us sometimes, only one chance to change.

Don’t let trouble mess you up, or help to pass the blame.

You are in my heart, my soul and mind,

Now it is time to take off those blinders because you aren’t blind.

When I ask you to talk, say okay.

I might just have something important to say.

I don’t want to take your time,

Just want you to know I will give you mine.

I will help where help is to be given

But it is truly your life, your own life you have and need to be living.
