Gracious Swan
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
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

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 )

Gracious Swan
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
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: words have meaning
take care with the words you use
They can cut like a sword
those with anger reveal much of themselves
They project, what they are
The pain inside of them
They have no peace
Always trying to poison others minds
Feeding off of others hate
They become good at pointing out what they
perceives as faults in others
it keeps them from having to address
to deal with their own
They are the bullies attacking people without provocation
They envy
That others have peace
Isnt it wonderful to live in peace
to sense you're alive
The Thorns still bloom

Gracious Swan
Gracious Swan: the path to death is what matters
Make the most of your life
Don’t be held back
By fear
Embrace the challenges
careful what you wish for
respect others
Ego is the problem for many
You are not always right
choose your words carefully
help others
Love one another
Forgive those
Who strive against you
Stand firm
When you look back at how you lived your life
Are there any regrets
As the door to life slowly closes
Can you honestly say I did my best

Gracious Swan
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

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
A T O M I C P U N K: Well thats it I am NOT banned I am leaving this fucking site. I fell for some girl she treated me like shit after painting my world glares and reflections of granduer. These people really suck They are pathetic liars and I just dont want anything to do with it anymore i AM a better person and you all know this it aint rocket science. Like you Opal,Swan,Jaguar you girls really fucking rock. Wulf I will miss you as well. Tony well i can always talk to you with my shoe phone. You all know I was and am just always out for a good time. I just dont feel this shit fits in with me anymore. I will make a ton of people pleased. I had so many on ignore my screen was literally at a stand still most the time. I did this before when Jaguar and mes friendship were put at jeopardy cause i said DEPORTED! I left I did not get banned or shit just fuck it all these piss ants that need their control. Swan I really think highly of you. I tried to fall for someone did and never knew what kind of abuse I was inflicting upon myself. RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY! You always seem to stay HARD as I did but i put myself on the line. This isnt surprising to me i been thinking about it all day. Then the girl I talked too about the girl that was throwing me a low ball came at me suddenly with why did i say shit to her! Well I did it cause I am HONEST and wouldnt want to hide anything from ANYONE. See I AM FUCKING REAL as I always professed. Is Honesty the best policy? Yeah to me it is cause if you dont like it you can leave me alone! Wulf i will ask Tony about ya chat site link to get to me ok man
