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.

Poetry – Snowflake
Poetry – p.b.r.
When a lot of things
happen all at once
it’s best to pause
breathe
rest

Poetry – I sit
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
Poetry – quietly joyful
it is okay
to sit quietly
smile to yourself
and just feel joy.
J. Belle
Poetry – the question…
why am I
forever waiting
for things
that exist
only inside
my mind
J. Belle
Poetry – calm
…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
Poetry – City Rain
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
Poetry – the ocean
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
Poetry – the poet
to be indifferent
would be the death of me
it is not who I am
or who I ever wish to be.
J. Belle 💛
Poetry – footprints
You left footprints
and it doesn’t
wash away.
