“With forever, I can be me. With forever, I can be free.”

I remember when I started my blog in 2011. Fifteen years!!!!! Fifteen years have flown by, and it’s been a beautiful, worthwhile journey. I remember being in Los Angeles, and getting to a point where I couldn’t stand being there. There was a heaviness upon my shoulders back then that was sucking the life and joy out of me. Fast forward to now, I feel light enough to float in happiness. Home is where the heart is, and I’m truly at home. I’m where I’m meant to be. I published my poem Forever on July 30, 2011, when I knew I was definitely moving back to New York for good. I know nothing is forever. Forever with this poem means seizing time and making it mine. Forever means making the most out of the time one has. I wonder what my journey will look like in another fifteen years?

I love Forever

Because Forever pushes me forward.

Helps  me go where I need to go.

Helps  me soar when I need to  fly.

Forever is more than a friend.

Forever is like a savior

That has caught me upon falling.

Is the giver of a second chance.

Forever doesn’t care about mistakes

That I make, or even repeat.

With Forever, I can be me.

With Forever, I can be free.

Forever is like destiny I can hold

Right in my hand.

And upon opening them,

I unleash a world of possibilities.

Blockades of a dream are unheard of.

Forever will never allow it.

I feel like all I have is Forever

And I will not waste precious time.

As I Float In Stillness

Smile as wide as the sky.

Happiness is abundant.

It Overflows and swells my heart.

My heart is full of life’s sunshine and roses.

Love loves me.

Love surrounds me and never lets me go.

Love allows me to float among a faraway galaxy and dream.

And I love it here.

There’s peace here.

There’s joy here.

Love prevails here,

As I float in stillness wanting more.

Infinite Possibilities

Far beyond time.

That’s where you’ll find me.

My head is in a whirlwind

Of imagination and dreams.

I see the light, years ahead.

And I move fluidly forward

To preserve my soul.

Happiness abundant.

Love everlasting,

The world is mine for the taking.

And take of it I shall,

Until my cup is full and overflowing.

Sipping the drink of what’s infinite,

And consuming the world of possibilities.

I Carry The Weight

I carry the weight

Of love in abundance.

Of brighter days

That see with wide eyes.

I carry the weight

That is never a burden.

It’s a weight that feels light.

A

m weight that feels divine.

Oo
C
O ePklike freedom.

The weight of paradise is upon my shoulders.

No pain does this heart feel.

No hate shall bound me.

A feeling surreal.

Feeling like feathers in the wind

Carried away in bliss.

This is the weight that I carry.

It’s the weight of love’s kiss.

Golden

Golden.

A monumental time

For a monumental age.

No celebratory bang.

Not one for playing charades.

Just wrapped in love

Amongst the days delight.

Gratitude ever flowing

As my inner light shines bright.

No need to utter words

Because my actions speak loud.

The reflection I see daily

Is one that I am proud.

50 years of life

With twists and turns

And lessons learned.

Ready for what the Universe unfolds before me now.

Golden.
