Glow

September Sunset, Butler, PA

When the clouds of life
try to block the
badass dazzling
bright light
of your beautiful soul,

Bust on through
and sparkle
and shine
and glow
wherever you can.

Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Shine Brightly

Moon over Mars PA March 2018

Moon over Mars PA March 2018

Shine Brightly.

Amidst the darkness
and the clouds
that try to hide it,

the moon
still
shines brightly.

I want
to be
like the moon.

Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Be a Sunflower

Be a Sunflower.

Be a sunflower
on a cold winter day…

A burst of sunlight
when the clouds are heavy and gray.

Grow in places
people never thought possible.

Have a sturdy stalk and soft petals…
be wild and unstoppable.

Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

 

This little poem was inspired by a birthday bouquet of flowers from hubby.   As I gazed at them sitting bright and beautiful on the kitchen table despite the bitter cold and gray just inches away through the window, I realized we can all be bright and sturdy and soft and wild and unstoppable no matter what we or others think is or is not possible.  So let’s be a sunflower today.

 

Shine Bright

Shine Bright.

May your cup be full,
and your heart be warm.

May the light outshine the darkness,
and your soul shine brightly.

May the new year bring simple pleasures
that make up a year of cherished moments.

Happy New Year 2018!
May it be a good one.

Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
