Daily Bliss – May 8

Daily Bliss

She climbs
With her broken heart in her pocket
And her tears carving the path
Striving toward a hand to hold
And lead the way
Up, over, and through
What she thought would break her
But instead has saved her

Daily Bliss – September 27

Daily Bliss

In her kaleidoscope mind

All is crystal clear

A maddening array of light 

Encircled by the darkness she feels inside 

It is broken but it feels right

Like the reflection off her beaten heart

{POEM} Our Parts

Poetic Healing

Integrate the pain,
The shame,
The dark places we so try to push away

For those are with us,
They are us,
Our parts

Just as our joy and our sadness
And our fear
Pierce our innermost being
And become one,
So must the wrongs perpetrated upon us
Become us

That we may transcend,
Release the pent-up gasses of constriction,
And reveal the space
For integration of wholeness

Surrender

Poetic Healing

Suitcases

If we surrender to the new
What may happen?
We don’t know…

It may not bring us instant joy
Or immediate relief
Because we can’t see the big picture
Or its temporary nature,

It may seem to lead us down a path
Which feels permanent,
Like concrete in our souls,
We may work harder, longer,
We may think we’re broken for a time

And yet, if we choose the path of same
We know what happens there –
More of what we’ve always known

What is the decision?
Do we risk it?
Do we listen,
To the whisper
Of surrender?

Daily Bliss – June 9

Daily Bliss


The Angels remind us to embrace all our challenges with love, for they aren’t meant to break us, but rather lift us up.  And when we do feel broken rather than uplifted, we can remember our angels are always with us, ready to help ease the burden.

Broken Open

Awakenings, Poetic Healing

broken open

How does the love shine through you?
How does the light find its way?

Through the cracks
And the holes
And the broken open soul

The heartbreaks
The love aches

The nights on our knees
Drowning in prayer
Waking up in the morning
Gasping for air

These moments of brokenness open the path
To the lighthouse within, to peace from the wrath,

The moment is ready for those with hearts open
Light and love shine right through where one is broken
