I felt safe
calm, quiet
peaceful
near you
and in
this world
that is
precious
I try not
to ask
for more
Instead
I will sit
with the feeling
a moment…

I felt safe
calm, quiet
peaceful
near you
and in
this world
that is
precious
I try not
to ask
for more
Instead
I will sit
with the feeling
a moment…
J. Belle

I feel, therefore I am…
Unamuno

today
my heart
reached out
my finger
touched
your finger…
I stayed
a moment
to smile.
J. Belle

stay with me
in the moonlight
rest with me
in the moonlight
wait with me
in the moonlight
and dawn
will bring us right
J. Belle

everything
we do
undulates
outward
look around
it can be seen
along the surface
of the waters…
what is it that
your ripples
send out
into the world?
J. Belle

the words
that bubble up
from my heart
tumble
tenderly
lovingly
from my lips
they are mine
given freely
to the world
around me
honest
pure
no matter
how many
fall from my
grasp
they are not
nothing
but a part
of me
my
being
seeds
upon
soil
in
the
minds
of
others
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…
