listen to the thump
inside my chest
that sound
it is my heart
the rhythm is steady
sometimes
it may change
but it is as it was
yesterday
and the day before
ta-dum ta-dum ta-dum
J. Belle
Poetry – it is as it was
Poetry – down above the surface…
I float with a heaviness
that will not pass
I lift higher and higher
into the thickness
of moss and soil
I wish for nothing more
than to wake
from this dense slumber
drift downward
swaying like a feather
into the cloud cover
beneath me
here I shall rise
fly to my freedom
through the expansive sky below
J. Belle
Poetry – remember
the breeze
on your cheeks
the strength
of the earth
beneath your feet
the gentle caress
of the clouds
in your hair
relax your brow
lift your chin
smile into the wind
take it all in
all of it
remember
the details
all of them
there will come a time
that this memory
will give you strength
J. Belle
Poetry – simple, slow
fingers
trace
hairline
simple
slow
gentle
past
temple
behind
ear
jaw
neck
chest
resting
on sternum
rise
and fall
quiet
a moment…
J. Belle
Poetry – too… anything
my mind
memory & heart
have always been
my greatest strengths
but also my downfall
they are all too big
too strong
too much
but someday
I will find a place
where I am not
too… anything.
where
I am
what I am.
I look forward
to that day.
J. Belle
Poetry – grapefruit
in the early
morning hours
i sit quietly
sip my coffee
let my eyelids droop
as I breathe in
the scent of coffee
lick the juice
of fresh fruit
from my lips
savour
the sun’s rays
as it warms my skin
I smile to myself
a perfect start
to my day…
J. Belle
Poetry – my mind
my mind
sits quietly
still amongst
the silence
i listen
take it all in
savour it
I hear
the wind
in the trees
rain upon
the window
I sip my coffee
rest my head back
against the chair
this is sunday morning.
J. Belle
Poetry – Things I know
sometimes
you hear things
see things
and think
gosh, I wish
that was for me
but then
reality stands
in front of you
and tells you
very clearly
it is not
so, you just
stand there
close your eyes
and take it all in
the sun
the breeze
and the silence.
J. Belle
Poetry – whisper
whisper to me
in the early
morning light
but as the sun sets
in the evening
just stand with me
and soak it all in…
J. Belle
Poetry – sing softly
sing softly into my ear
sweet river
share your wisdom
as you flow
the secrets of the banks
you pass
all of it
wash over me
i open my arms
and receive you
J. Belle
