snow falls softly
on the surface
settles there
flake by flake
buffering the noise
within
my chin tilts
downward
my eyelids close
exhale…
resting without
a sound
snowflakes fall
flake by flake
all around me.

caress me softly
sweet breeze
upon my face
this one swollen tear
rolls slowly
gently
down my neck
Let the things
I can not control
flow through my hair
into the wind
behind me
Restoring calm
breathing in
the beauty
around me
J. Belle

When a lot of things
happen all at once
it’s best to pause
breathe
rest
J. Belle

I sit
at my window
watching
the snow fall
on the city below
there’s a
softness
about the morning
all the edges
blurred
there’s comfort
in knowing
that the harshness
of the night
worn smooth
the morning sigh
caresses
my cheeks
& forehead
I am left
breathless
J. Belle

Sometimes
we need to stop
and stand still
for a few moments.
Stretching downward
allowing your roots
to push deeper, wider
become stronger.
Only then can you
reach out with stability
and upward
without limits.
Smile, relax
and enjoy
the growth.
J. Belle

I am
what I am
but only I
can be me.
J. Belle

Staying calm
positive
grounded
thinking of you
J. Belle

I lay flat in the cold…
a road made of ice.
Looking up into the darkness
as luminescent colours
dance above me.
Reaching up my arms,
tracing the colours
with my fingertips.
Painting the sky
and my mind with magic.
J. Belle

it is okay
to sit quietly
smile to yourself
and just feel joy.
J. Belle

why am I
forever waiting
for things
that exist
only inside
my mind
J. Belle
