can’t find it
elsewhere
find it
within.

When you

find it
within.
J. Belle

It has lived
inside of me
for so many years…
I fall backward
free falling
into the story
inside myself…
time distorts
stretching
folding
in on itself
I almost
nearly
feel whole…
J. Belle

blink slowly
not quite awake
the sun peaks
over the horizon
good morning
she whispers
my smile broadens
eyelids droop
snuggle deeper
under my duvet
drift back
into slumber
thinking of you.
J. Belle

a long awaited rain
trickles down
my forehead
water puddles
around my feet
scent of soil
and flowers
fills my senses
I close my eyes
sit down next to you
enjoying the rain
in that special place
inside my mind
where only you & I
can go together
it’s calm
for a moment…
J. Belle

I listened while
she gently explained
the knowledge
of the sea…
you will become
much happier
when you realize
that if it is
not said to you
or given to you
it is not for you
you you you
ripple ripple ripple
slosh slosh slosh
the waters
always know
best best best
J. Belle

breathe in
my salt air
the ocean
replied…
J. Belle

my fingers
motionless
barely touching
the keys
my body tingles
mind relaxes
breath slows
the world
around me
becomes fuzzy
and warm
it’s at that moment
that exact moment
just before
it begins…
J. Belle

I reach with my fingers
caressing the space
around me
molding it
like clay
forming shapes
lovely and smooth
I can not unsee it
the beauty
it warms my heart
and sets me free
J. Belle

For now,
I’ll just keep walking
the answer is
bound to wash up
on shore
eventually.
J. Belle

I told the sea about you
whispering softly
as the waves lap
at my ankles in reply…
