breathe in
my salt air
the ocean
replied…
J. Belle

I whisper softly
into the ear
of the ocean
I remember
what I thought
I knew…
do you?
J. Belle

biking home
from work today
I thought
what a privilege
to feel the rain
on my cheeks
the wind
billowing
my trousers
fresh air
in my lungs…
doesn’t matter
what you say
it felt great
and life is good.
J. Belle

There is beauty
in growing
exponentially
while managing
to stay the same.
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 times
that i just
fall in love
with the words
as they trickle down
from the sky
onto my forehead
cheeks and chest
as i passively delight
in the rippling touch
of every vowel
and consonant.
J. Belle

i whispered into the night
i told it stories of new
and dreams of old
i closed my eyes
held your hand
so very tightly
may there be a thousand moons
and a thousand rising suns
I will never let go
of the vision i had
tucked into the deepest
darkest corner
of my mind.
J. Belle

I reach with my fingers
caressing the space
around me
molding it
like clay
forming shapes
lovely and smooth
I can not unsee it
the beauty
it warms my heart
and sets me free
J. Belle

For now,
I’ll just keep walking
the answer is
bound to wash up
on shore
eventually.
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
