Poetry Hour

The Black Widow

Caught in her trap again.

Slowly crawling toward me.

Each step my fate becomes more clear.

Who could ever hope for a happy ending.

Minions disguised as butterflies.

Dancing the Devils Dance.

The fog clears as they transform into moths.

Flying away and Abandoning me.

Tricked and caught in her sticky webs.

The more I struggle the more I am doomed.

The poison has entered me and I am forever lost.

Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust.

A Quote A Day Keeps The Monsters Away

Quote #1

"I wish it need not have happened in my time,' said Frodo.
'So do I,' said Gandalf, 'and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

-J.R.R. Tolkien 

You Are Never Too Old To Make Your Dreams Come True

Everyone wants to feel special. Everyone wants to feel needed. Everyone needs a purpose. 

Part of the reason I wanted to create a blog was so that I could create a space for those of us out there who sometimes forget that they are special, are needed, and do have a purpose.

It is easy to forget our goals and dreams that we had when we were younger. Ideas that we have imagined and put away because we sometimes feel like since we are older now that those dreams and ideas we had may never have a chance to come true. Away they go onto an abandoned shelf.

Sometimes what helps me remember to still continue to go for those dreams and what motivates me to continue pushing forward are: Quotes, Books, Music, Movies, Friends, and Family to list a few.

All this to say that hopefully this blog will be encouraging, inspiring, motivating, and thought provoking for those of you who decide to read it.
