After the fog / Thanksgiving Day / Coffee is my friend

After the fog

I know I battled without a weapon
And fought with my bare hands
I cried, wounded, and feeling defeated
With no one to wipe away my tears

On my journey, my heart has shattered
Over and over and over again
I’ve missed my land, miles and miles away
Living with the truth that I was here to stay

I settled and I embraced
The new culture with enormous fear
I was ready and willing to try a new gear
Erased the memory that you can’t be near

I searched for the impossible perfection
It was you I was looking for, to love me
Many trials with the same error
As though I lived in the reign of terror

At last, I have captured my essence
And my loneliness flew over the sea
I prayed to God in the silence of my soul
And looked inside me to make me whole

Years passed, my wounds became scars
The scars became my strength
My strengths are my learnings
I feel the sun as I sit near this bay

The fog is no longer here to stay

Thanksgiving Day

Lifetime of inner dialogue inside of me
You didn’t teach me how to be gentle and kind
Nor how to eat with a fork and a knife
How to love and live a positive life

The winds of change blew in my direction
I found you and all the blessings
My beauty was trapped inside a diamond
Years of struggle to swim outside the bubble

I unleashed the power from deep inside me
I turned on the faucet to cleanse myself
All limiting beliefs went down the stream
Lifetime of worries and trauma was gone!

I found the truth of what I was missing
The impeccable love that kept me going
Without a blemish or hunger for lust
I live my happy days of self love and trust

You hold your key of all your pleasures
Unlock the chest with all its treasures
The universe is listening to all your prayes
God will bring you the one that trully cares

Give blessings to all that you possess
Your health, your shelter, and don’t distress
This Thankgiving day look up to the sky
And say “I have no reason to ever cry”

Spread your wings high and learn how to fly!

Coffee is my friend

She can’t move from place to place
Yet there is an answer, coffee
Exhausted woman walking to get coffee
From the moment she opened her eyes
Coffee was a friend that never betrayed her
And all her thoughts unloaded in comfort
No one to judge her
Can you wake up and feel the riot inside you?
Has all your passion vanished away
The one that fought the elephant
And prayed for others and world peace
Can you even help yourself now?
Can you put yourself back together piece by piece?
Even if you don’t want to, even if you cry
Do it again and again and again
Play a happy song and dance to the music
Do it again, one day at a time
