The struggle

 Who am I

I’m still meeting me

These past few years

Are still teaching me

That all the money

And fame 

Might bring attention

But seeking attention

For attention’s sake

Will leave one

With a lonely heart

A starved soul

A warped mind

And a lost sense of self


The numbers on this blog

Leave me speechless each day

Because too often

I’ve let the world

Determine my worth

And when that happens

Turmoil erupts

Like angered volcanoes


I don’t know

Much

But I know this

I must trust God

Over everything else

Even if 

Even when

It’s an hourly struggle

Place

 Lacing up

Those tennis shoes

Freedom in

The feet

In the street

As each step

Brings my body

Back to a place

I can be

Proud of now

And forevermore

Hands

 A little smile

A big hug

A joy

That isn’t spoken


In simplicity 

An ordinary life

Becomes extraordinary

Not because 

What we want

Changes

But how

We approach it

Shifts

And we realize

That as

My hands

Are occupied

My mind

Can’t wander 

Down the rabbit hole

sea of glamour

 Swimming in a sea

Of tulle and jewels

Regal Red

Corseted Back

Diamond Brooch

Pearl studs

Gold slingbacks

The best accessory

The smile 

That steals

The global community’s

Heart

Batting average

 As the sun rises

On this beautiful morning

I’m reminded that

What I thought

Were losses

Aren’t looking

That way

Anymore


I’m still impatient

And want it

My way

So folks

I’m still

Being molded


I’ll take small wins

All day long

Because my 

Batting average

Lately

Is nothing

To write 

Home about

These days

Questions

 How was your weekend?

What’s for breakfast?

What’s on your heart?

What is your cart?

What are you reading?


Pretty good. Had some company over. 

Honey Nut Cheerios

Too much. 

Food and not much else

A new book by Lorraine Brown. I just started it. No review yet. 


Happy Monday
