I escaped a bit
and i love it
So i can breathe
then forgive
then forget
my recent
regrets

Courage
It is courage
To confide in another
soul, showing you’re
Not as strong or
Happy as you’d like or
Seem to.
Like a mother to run to
And whose presence brings
Comfort and pent up tears
Until you’re ready again
To face & conquer rains.
Until you remember again
To unpark your hopes & dreams.

Imagine
Both joy and sorrow
Exist in anticipation
Imagination’s realm
Delight and overwhelm
And to do without
I simply cannot
So I’ll bear this cross
And each coin I’ll toss
And toast to possibility
And almost realities.

Sparks
Oh how you treasure
the little adventures
after the long hours
at least making
the night yours
sparks lead to fires
reviving faint embers
the world's all wider
as you savor

Shortlist
I didn’t make it
And i felt light
Like a burden lifted
Surprised that
I’m not attached
Towards an outcome
Making peace
With what’s done
And more so,
What’s not.(c) Artherese, 2024

Magic
There’s something
brave and magical about
keeping your spark
amidst the rough
Edges and hedges
This world begets
There are whirlwinds
Within and shouts unseen
But still you rise, you’re kind
Of the hope you seed
And grow into shields
amidst uncertainties
There is beauty, still.

Midpoint Stills
The midpoint is here and I must admit
I surprised myself quite a lot this year,
so far
I’m still grateful I left
I gained new perspectives
And welcomed needed shifts
I still try, I still yearn
I’m mostly still winging it
With a 50/50 success rate
Then I go for long walks
And enjoy small talks
People still scare and amaze me
At equal measure
I still am me
Still in awe
Despite the rough
Edges and misses
Still clinging to the spark
The bright, the hope
The melody, the miracles
Abound and within.

Quiet Courage
I thought enough noise
Will drown the worries
And the overwhelms
But the better anchor
Is, in fact, silence
For to listen is power
You need not run nor jump
Just breathe then respond
And care to still hope
Have courage to still feel
And face what’s here.

Let Your Words Fly
There’s nothing
as daunting
as a blank page.
But once you get
the words out
do you have what it takes
to let them soar
explore and be explored
to see how they’ll get far
beyond the confines
of your own little world
Not merely marking the page -
but making your existence felt & heard.
