Stand strong for me.
Your petals closed tight.
Face to the sun.
Hope in your heart.
Release your sweetness.
The perfect fragrance.
Let the dew quench your thirst.
The rain wash your tears.
Stand strong for me.
STAND STRONG
stand
STAND STRONG
I stand alone.
Alone for all time.
No neighbors for me.
No friends for sport.
The wind thrashes.
It hits against my edges.
But I continue to stand.
To stand strong.
THE ROCKS
THE ROCKS
I wade in the cold,
Waves up to my waist.
Rocks loom before me,
Victims of the sea.
Honed to perfection,
Faces to the sky.
They stand in silence
As I join their line.
SILENCE
SILENCE
In a world of noise
Where no one is heard,
We could use some silence.
A bit of quiet.
Take a step back
And be quiet.
Watch for the response.
See the surprise.
For silence can convey
What words cannot.
A feeling or a thought
To be lost in words.
Don’t be afraid
To make your stand.
To be different.
Refusing to mouth inanities.
Be a breath of fresh air
In the violent storm.
Standing strong and silent
In the wake of it all.
A TREE
A TREE
A tree.
A symbol of hope.
Standing for freedom.
Withstanding the storms.
Arms raised to the sky.
Forever more.
Stand with me.
Give me courage.
To hold my head up high.
Solid as your roots.
Forever more.
Stay with me.
As time goes by.
Alone I stand.
No friends nearby.
Forever more.
MOTION
Motion.
The world is in motion.
Nothing stays still for long.
Life is in a constant
flux of change,
for better,
or for worse.
We can’t stop it.
We can’t slow it down.
We must ride with it.
And see where it takes us.
Each one of us has our
own journey to follow.
Where it will lead,
no one can tell us.
It has a beginning and an end.
But the middle is the unknown entity.
Something we must create
for ourselves.
Might as well enjoy the ride
for as long as it lasts.
STAND ALONE
Humans tend to stick together.
To form groups and cliques.
But what about those
who stand alone?
Who want to be different?
Who don’t want to be
part of a pack?
They stand alone.
They stand apart.
They become the leaders.
