Allow Your Inner Child To Explore

Blooming Season Family! 

I hope you’re all having a good day. 

I want to share something a bit different on today’s blog. 

One activity that helps me express my thoughts, understand my feelings and release my creative energy at the same time is poetry. 

I thought I’d share all the poems I wrote this week. 

Hopefully you’ll be inspired to write some of your own. 

It’s important to invest some time each day to do something that allows your inner child to explore and wander, especially with the kind of year it’s been. 

So, here's my mind at play, with a pen and a page. 

#1

the sky is dimming 

it’s a faded blue 

the apartment is quiet 

i can hear the passing sirens 

the muffled lives seeping quietly through the walls 

we’re all on the same globe

a floating ball in space 

that will never not be insane 

now the sky is gray 

it’s pouring rain

i’m grateful to be safe under a roof

i am blessed 

God is good

this is proof

#2

some nights it’s like I can almost reach it

like i’m awake and dreaming 

some nights i can almost see it 

a higher place

the space beyond space

where it’s Holy

where the angels sing

some nights their echos ring inside my ear 

some nights my heart longs for this location that is not located on any map 

some nights it’s like the part of me that will someday sing along to the songs in the angel’s choir, reaches back 

some nights it feels like that 

it’s an ache 

it’s a weight 

some nights I wish I could live forever 

some nights I can’t wait to fly in the space beyond space 

to see God’s face 

to be held in that embrace 

some nights it’s like the silence gives me a taste 

#3

dreaming of new york

the buildings 

the trees

the lights

the people 

the streets

the noise at night 

like a lullaby reminding you that you’re alive 

#4

there’s beauty in the pouring rain

it falls without warning 

covering everything left uncovered

feeding the trees

meeting the needs of the earth 

chasing the heat 

leaving fresh breeze in return for its disruption

leaving a piece of heavenly peace

with the chorus sound of a billion rain drops

crashing on everything in it’s way 

there’s beauty in the pouring rain 

#5 

do you love yourself? 

what have you done to prove it? 

love is more than words

what have you been doing? 

#6

the power’s in the mind

what I hold inside is mine

every picture comes to life with time

decide to go past the ceilings you’ve created 

there’s room in the sky

be elevated 

focus your concentration 

activate it

occupy the space between your ears

redirect it to heaven 

let God inject it 

with love
