It’s simple
to just stand here
watching
the sun rise
over the rooftops
Reaching for that
first golden ray
it warms my skin
I look down
onto the street below
there he is
stirring up
the last
of the morning mist
Such pleasure
to be quiet
in the first
morning light.
J. Belle
Swoosh
fresh air
fog lifted
haze blown
eyes open
Everything
suddenly vivid
senses alert
breathe deep
revived.
J. Belle
She whispered cautiously
into the ear of time…
take me with you,
she breathed.
Time sat down beside her
and gently caressed her thigh…
move as I flow, my love,
and you will never be left behind.
J. Belle
To love unconditionally doesn’t mean you never scowl it means that even when you look through knitted brows the heart is just as big warm and loving.
Each note vibrates
through my body.
Flows through
the sadness, the tears.
Sound kindles
the fire within.
It is what
keeps me whole.
J. Belle
There is a great
calamity of ideas
that thrust around
inside my mind.
The trick
is to settle
those thoughts
just enough
to allow them
to flow
in one direction
outward
downward
onto the page
below.

There comes a time
when you must let
the west wind
blow all your stress
and worries away.
Breathe deeply
and start again.
