 Friends         | I am who I am  umich: Thank You Swan 17 days ago • Report • Link 1  wheelgirl: Lol 9 days ago • Report 0  Gracious Swan: The blind Walking down the street Looking around Sees humanity Dressed in a wide variety of clothing Skimpy bikinis, jeans Earings dangling Bones through their noses Holding hands Kisses We are all individuals Not carbon copies of each other How to open eyes of those Who refuse to accept Others points of view When they condemn It is they who are crippled Gracious Swan: Prisoners Prisons of the mind Locking up Never exploring The beauty around No meeting of people I am nothing Wakeing up in the morning, looking in the mirror, and say, "That is not me what ever happened to the person I use to be Now Hiding in the shadows Waiting to break free To Stop living in fear , Trying to take that first step out the door The heart starts racing My body shaking My mind telling me im safe in my cocoon a voice yells out Your safe its only 1 step The world is scary I am afraid Turns around goes back inside Becoming a prisoner of my mind once again View all 8 posts  E s s e n c e: Swan, wow, I read it and it resonated within myself. I can relate to your poem in so many aspects and levels. This is unapologetically confrontational of what we were and aren't, a scrutiny of the investments on oneself. Facing one's darkness and being brutally honest to what one sees is a painful transition. Yet, it makes one closer to differentiate the delusions between what one think to be versus what one really is. Nicely done dear friend, love it   Gracious Swan: Ego Time and time again Steam comes out of the kettle Mist clouding the mind I am intolerant of what they have to say It is their issue not mine I don’t even remember their name who really cares I dont we block it out through our ego Listen to me is the cry IM RIGHT IM RIGHt No one dare say im wrong Why do you question me The mist returns Steam still comes out of the kettle till the next time Ill stamp my feet and and say Im right you are wrong ( wrote this based on my observation of many people ) View all 4 posts  tularcitas: Swan, I love your writings. They have brought me to tears with their heartfelt expression. One can not offer more as a poet than to move others. Gracious Swan: Lifes journey Looking down To the joyous beginning of life A baby being held in loving arms Wondering what their life’s journey will be Will they suffer Will there be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. The colours of life First steps being taken Following behind ‘ Looking around in wonder At the magic of life School Expanding the horizon Finding not all is a bed of roses Learning ,crying Sadness Death enters Many tears being shed Working life is fun A partner A new birth The cycle starts again Gracious Swan: time wounds all heal All people die it is the path to death that matters The weekend ( 19th June ) Packed and already to go A little fishing town Where my last promise to him was kept To scatter his ashes in the sea ‘ With family saying goodbye Stories were told Each remembering Those special times The love he shared so willingly The times when something caused his anger Our camping trips away Hold on to those memories He lived a full life how to be able to sit with the memories. all people die it is the path to death that matters Gracious Swan: Its been nearly a year since my husband died 18.03.2021 Where has the time gone Still looks around hoping he is there Which reminded me of a poem I once read Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am diamond glints on the snow. I am sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush, Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die by Clare Harner in 1934.

Gracious Swan: Crying alone The tears never stop Showing no one the hurt Being suffered how fragile We really are Watching from the shadows How many are dancing To cover the pain Of facing reality When you hear the music Does it inspire or revolt you Wishing to be near the water Where the tears wont show How empty life is Yet the music still plays Love is the key That opens the door way Stopping the tears Unconditional love No judgement Why is it so hard? we all have needs Don’t live in a fantasy world Make it a reality Till the silent tears begin again View all 8 posts  ohiowinddancer: I am sorry you're heart is hurting so. Only love and time heals this sort of pain.....and it does so on its own schedule. In the meanwhile, know there are others that remember you as well in prayer/meditation. You are not alone in this healing journey, though at times it feels that way. Namaste Gracious Swan: I survived Each and every one has screwed up in our lives Its putting your life back together by accepting the challenges placed before us Don’t dwell in self pity It only takes you down the road to self destruction Listen carefully when others reach out They want to listen To hold your hand Isolation isn’t the key Be a part humanity Others have had it worse than you Go out and mingle Know that your life will once again will become joined Like a jig saw I piece at a time Open your heart once again And smile It costs nothing You will brighten some ones day Remember smile and the world will smile with you Gracious Swan: Dreams Portholes to the past present and future Round and round memories gathering into a ball Growing with each advancing year Tighter and tighter Larger and larger The ball becomes There’s always a place Like baskets that are never empty Where do they go Plucking a memory About those who have left us The apple pies cooking The stew on the stove Gathering in the kitchen Talking The memory fades back into the ball Another emerges Smile Scramble eggs In the shadow of your mind Looking up at that mountain Wanting to climb 1 step at a time hurdles to over come Reaches the top looking around Ahead is a valley Another mountain to climb Day after day Slowly the body gives in The top of the mountain Sit and rest no more mountains to climb Will dwell with the memories Say goodbye the final nap Knowing that you have conquered Those mountains  A T O M I C P U N K: Well thats it I am NOT banned I am leaving this fucking site.
