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
There are days
that even though
I know who I am
it’s hard to see
how I fit into
this world
around me.
J. Belle
it is the little things
100 beans
counted slowly
ground by hand
press & drip
froth & pour
a little heart
leaf or flower
it is warm
in my hands
as I pause…
the scent wafts
eyes close
corners of my mouth
curl upward
these are the things
that give me joy
in the moment
and hope
for the future.
J. Belle
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.
J. Belle
When a lot of things
happen all at once
it’s best to pause
breathe
rest
J. Belle
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
it is okay
to sit quietly
smile to yourself
and just feel joy.
J. Belle
