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
there are
some things
and some people
that just simply
give me joy
a genuine smile
it’s a lovely feeling.
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
caress me softly
sweet breeze
upon my face
this one swollen tear
rolls slowly
gently
down my neck
Let the things
I can not control
flow through my hair
into the wind
behind me
Restoring calm
breathing in
the beauty
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
Sometimes
we need to stop
and stand still
for a few moments.
Stretching downward
allowing your roots
to push deeper, wider
become stronger.
Only then can you
reach out with stability
and upward
without limits.
Smile, relax
and enjoy
the growth.
J. Belle
I am
what I am
but only I
can be me.

Nearly five year ago this poetry collection was released. It has been out of print for over two years. I am pleased to announce it is now re-released with new artwork and additional poems. I hope you will consider joining me on this unique and abstract journey again or for the very first time.
The Collection: a poetic exploration of friendship, love, fantasies and the soulmate. 🖤
Available worldwide on Amazon.
Staying calm
positive
grounded
thinking of you
