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
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
today
my heart
reached out
my finger
touched
your finger…
I stayed
a moment
to smile.
J. Belle
my hands
I use them
they tell
the story
of my life…
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 remember
how it felt
when I thought
anything
was possible.
J. Belle
I told the sea about you
whispering softly
as the waves lap
at my ankles in reply…
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
You left footprints
and it doesn’t
wash away.
J. Belle
her thumb
slowly sweeps
across his brow
a tear wells
in the corners
of their eye
her fingers curl
around his ear
her thumb slides
down his jaw
and neck.
bristles course
against the softness
of her touch.
sigh
a moment…
J. Belle
