She crouched down
at the foot of the sea
ripples lapped
at her hemline
arms wrapped
around her knees
she whispered
softly
almost
to herself
but mostly
to the sea
never enough…
I am
simply
never enough
she grows weary
presses her chin
to her knees
lifts herself up
stands facing the waters
breathes in the salt air
turns
continues
walking along
the shoreline
waves caressing
her feet
her ankles
and calves
enough no longer
has value
I simply
am.
J. Belle
everything
we do
undulates
outward
look around
it can be seen
along the surface
of the waters…
what is it that
your ripples
send out
into the world?
J. Belle
Her mind
might go
this way
or that way
twirl around
and around
fall deep
into thought
or fly high
in the clouds
but one thing
never changes
will always be true
I’m not going to say
because, well
i don’t want to.
J. Belle
I whisper softly
into the ear
of the ocean
I remember
what I thought
I knew…
do you?
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
Staying calm
positive
grounded
thinking of you
J. Belle
I lay flat in the cold…
a road made of ice.
Looking up into the darkness
as luminescent colours
dance above me.
Reaching up my arms,
tracing the colours
with my fingertips.
Painting the sky
and my mind with magic.
J. Belle
it is okay
to sit quietly
smile to yourself
and just feel joy.
J. Belle
why am I
forever waiting
for things
that exist
only inside
my mind
J. Belle
