Here I Lay

Here I Lay

It runs deep.

It's in my

bones and

the core of

my being.

It's on my

face. It's 

in my hugs.

Yet, I remain

in silence.

I want to be

at her side

as she moves

through life, to

hold her hand.

I wait to

hear her

voice and

see her eyes

once again.

She's trapped

in my head 

and my heart.

She has to

know this.

But here I

lay with my

love for her

unspoken. 

Yet, undenied.

It Fell From Her Eye

It Fell From Her Eye

It hurts my heart to feel 

her emotions from the 

other side of a screen.

If I were there, I'd give 

her a hug. A long heartfelt 

hug of comfort in whatever 

she was holding in her heart.

There's a visual message 

of a tear gathering in 

the corner of her eye. 

It could fall onto my finger 

and I would feel with her. If 

she only knew I was here for 

her. Then. It fell from her eye.

Confusion.

Control.

Struggle.

Distraction. 

Slow down.

Stillness.

Unfoldment.

Guidance.

Uncertain.

What's next

limits the 

what's now.

Surrender.

Simple. 

Clarity.

Trust.

Peace.

Transformation.

Dawn of a New Day

Dawn of a New Day

By Annette Camp

As the first light of dawn kisses

the earth, the world awakens 

in a symphony of gentle 

sounds and vibrant colors.

Here, time seems to pause.

Ducks and geese glide 

gracefully as blooming 

flowers line the path,

each petal a burst of 

color against the green. 

The chatter of the birds 

creates a melody that soothes 

the soul. The ordinary 

becomes extraordinary 

with each breath.

The earth beneath my feet feels 

alive. The dew is fresh and 

the air crisp. Every step is a 

moment of peace, a celebration 

of the day’s beginning. 

Wrapped in the embrace of 

nature’s gentle rhythm, 

I find myself smiling at 

the simple joy of being a 

part of this tranquil morning.
