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

…that wonderful time
in the evening
when I can sit
in a comfy chair
with a mug of tea
some relaxing music
let all the thoughts
inside my mind
slosh & slide around
until they finally settle
in all the right cracks
and crevasses.
J. Belle

There is a small
part of me
that will
watch for you
every single day
for the rest
of my life.
J. Belle

Once upon a time
long ago
there was a little girl
head full of
numbers
letters
and drums.
They marched
and danced
this way
and that way.
Until one day
she managed
to line them up
in order.
Silence hummed
so naturally.
All but the echo
of her thumb
a constant cadence
inside her mind.
J. Belle

I stand
arms spread wide
eyes lifted
to the sky
my smile
widens
as the droplets
trickle down
my arms
and chest
settling
on the sidewalk
beneath me
the subtle taste
of city in the rain.
J. Belle

I feel
warm sun
through the wool
on my back
cool breeze
upon my bare face
taste the salty air
on my tongue
I feel a refreshing
spray of water
each time I hear
a crashing wave
cold rock
slick algae
beneath my feet
I breathe
& exhale
I am there.
J. Belle

to be indifferent
would be the death of me
it is not who I am
or who I ever wish to be.
J. Belle 💛
