***Visualize The Raindrops Pausing***

i visualize in the warmth of the sun
or in the darkest hours of night

healing is held in the gift of seeing

i see between the wind blown leaves
pause each raindrop as it is falling

everything stops but my breathing

i listen to the silence all around
even in the midst of all the chaos

molecules of life touching gently

i close my eyes for a moment in between
for dreamers will always be dreaming

music notes orchestrate birth and death

i feel the strings of instruments hold me
soft as satin and stronger then webs of silk

healing is found in a moment of peace

i visualize oceans and mountains colliding
creating new life as gentle flowering buds

death can never be the ultimate ending

i see myself walking an ocean shoreline
by the still spray of a wave before it crashes

peace is standing between raindrops as they pause

i see there briefly a place my mind rests
devoid of wars, disease, famine and otherness

healing is held in the gift of seeing

what could be if only for a moment in time

Break Down

visualize whatever                             
it takes to
BREAK DOWN the pain
to soothe you

see the ocean’s salty
 brine and feel the
WIND bring it
back to you

catch the rainbow’s
glistening
SHINE in colors
capturing you

fantasize of angel
wings and feel
WRAPPED in a
softening of you

visualize whatever
it takes to
BREAK DOWN the pain
to soothe you

visualize another
place outside
fantasize too
UNRAVELING the pain
will soothe you

My granddaughter has been having a myriad of health problems for some time now. At the age of 16 Samantha has known what it is like to not always be well, especially as her mother has Lupus, but now she too is not well much of the time. She was born with Psoriasis, which is not at all common, but now has been diagnosed with juvenile Fibromyalgia. Her next appointment will be to discern the funtion of her thyroid, which seems not to be working. She is a positive young woman and a joy in my life and will need to adjust how she does life a a very young age. I love you Sammie!
