Thankfulness

flowers-2583663_960_720

I am thankful for the life I have
For I’ve been blessed beyond reason
My creator has been with me
Through every tumultuous season
And that’s the only explanation
For why I’m still here today
Because without god in my life
I know I never would have found my way

A sprinkle of balderdash

A sprinkle of balderdash
Dotted here and there
I’ve come so far
Of that I’m aware

A plethora of insight
Bestowed from the start
Given unique visions
I hope to one day impart

When I start to doubt…

When I start to doubt the world
Pushing it away with all my might
Your words they pull me in
In an embrace that holds me tight

And you give me a newfound hope
That eventually everything will be okay
For those comforting words of yours
They’re what get me through my day

Along the path to nowhere

autumn-2854220_960_720

Drowning in the weald
Without a sword or shield
She was lost to the deep
Twilight had put her to sleep

But he somehow found her there
So full of sorrow and despair
And he gave her what he could
Although he was no Robin Hood

She applauded him for trying his best
This mission being his most important test
Yet both realized there had to be another way
Or they’d both be lost to the vast array

So a final plan was set into motion
Filled with dedication, love, and emotion
And determination eventually got them there
Saving them both from the path to nowhere

Writing prompt: Consultant drowning deep within the shallow wood

An undeniable gift

dawn-1868418_960_720

He has knowledge and wisdom
Beyond logical compare
He understands the very things
In which others aren’t unaware

And yet he can’t always see it
Or understand the how’s and why’s
Which frustrates him immensely
All because of a gift he can’t deny
