Daily Bliss – December

Daily Bliss

Bending and contorting

She fits herself into spaces 

Not meant for her big soul 

Until she’s frozen in time

And thawing into freedom 

Is her only option left

The Box

Poetic Healing

d6660e08-4a34-4b2e-9c98-40c6d5f0edaf

You’re like the others
I see you sitting in that box
And nothing inside me
Wants to climb in with you
I just feel sorry that I can’t

Life would be simpler
In there with you
And you might be happier too
But at what cost
My immobilized mind
Won’t even allow me to ask the question

I may struggle and worry you
But don’t ask me to get inside
Don’t ask me to give up this freedom
To close off my wings to the world
Like so many before me

Though in my infancy, I am an oracle
A messenger for those like me
To wake up and fly
A connection between heaven and earth

Don’t force me into your box
Instead, see the magic I bring to this world
