One Beautiful Moment (A Slightly Older Fiction Story I Wrote)

            "I am the second Mrs. Roberts.", she said, as everyone present stood silent and unaware of how to respond. They didn't say anything as the whole event was turned upside down. The once peaceful moments now suddenly a living nightmare. Crying and fits of rage were on full display in the startling revelation of these precious emotions revealed for all to see. "I am the second Mrs. Roberts!", declared the voice of the little broken heart of this five year old girl at the wedding, the loss of her mom and this new mom stepping in was simply too much for her to process.

                Others tried to step up and calm her storm of emotions failing miserably in the process. She refused to be comforted and the chaos continued for nearly a half hour until one beautiful moment. Suddenly a bear was offered her to hold and cry into, the little stuffed bear from the woman her daddy was marrying. At first she refused it, running away from her when the woman began to sing a soft song to her. At the sound of the song the little girl stopped though, and reluctantly came back. Head down and eyes barely looking forward she came to where the soon-to-be Mrs. Roberts crouched while singing the song. The little tear-stained face looked carefully at her upon approaching and stopped as she sang. "I could never replace your mother sweetheart. I don't wish to replace you either. Maybe we can be sad together though so we can help those boo hoos and be happy again.", said the kind heart of the bride to the grieving little girl as they both began crying again. Watching this beautiful display of understanding and love left every eye with tears; even the "toughest" were moved at this. The little girl went to hug the bride named Joy and they all went up to the altar together, the little girl, the dad and the soon-to-be Mrs. Roberts. One beautiful moment was made in the chaos of loss, where Joy's new husband told his wife later that the song she sang was one her mother once did also, something she was unaware of.

What Isolation Sees (An Older Poem I Wrote)

Once thought alone, this is no longer, this faulty thought process, for eyes look upon me in a pensive mindset. Not the Infinite but the internal are found here though, myself shrouded in dark invisibility, face to face with this mysterious entity, one called isolation. He looks on me in silence, a silence that speaks volumes though no word is uttered. Examination of self is impressed upon me, for such is his influence on my being. I dare to look again at myself, along with isolation, and here do I look upon it all, good and bad alike. What isolation sees he shows me: faults and found strengths, skills I knew not I possessed, failings I was unaware of, ones buried deep within me, ones hidden well inside. This mysterious one isn’t a curse, and in his presence I find myself again, I begin again to right myself, and here I am being made whole once more. What isolation sees isn’t always bad, nor is what he shows, these blessed ways from the Infinite, ways to make us better, better if we a...

Just Write (How To Create When You're Beginning And Feeling Overwhelmed)

               You’re stuck. You feel empty. Overthinking seeks to imprison you; you can’t be shackled though, unless you don’t try. Just write. Don’t worry if it’s perfect, or even how much you will be able to write. Listen as you do, listen as that “inner writer” speaks (for they will) and words will arrive to meet you. First a few words will gather together, one by one, making complete pictures; small actions to a bigger result of greater writing. The little will grow, and so will your confidence. Just write.                  Just a word at a time while remembering to keep writing. Soon paragraphs will be seen. One word will become two and sentences will gather together becoming paragraphs. Just write. You will encounter overwhelming perfection call out loudly on your journey, attempting to stop you….this is where you need to remember you can edit later. Just write. It will be beautiful, the complete...

I Will Stand My Ground

        Light breaks through as clouds of despair are pierced, as hope begins to shine bright again, fierce and unrelenting. Life enters with the wind where change casts it's welcome breezes, and here I breathe in this refreshing shift of resolve.         Small steps are taken toward the dawning of renewal, a faith restored again as a good to be is reassured and seen in parts with each movement to healing; healing to grace for the broken, direction for the lost...for us all.
