'Walk' from Chuckles, Snuggles & Struggles - Poetry for the hopeful

'Funny Things' from Chuckles, Snuggles and Struggles, a mildly thrilling poetry book.

““I have this dream. It starts out the same way every time where I am standing in a pool of people, another face in the crowd. But then, I blink and suddenly I’m facing the crowd, their adoring eyes on me. And I feel seen. I feel empowered. I smile at them and they celebrate me as if I’m some sort of goddess.” “And then what happens?” He asks, leaning curiously towards me. “Then I wake up,” I whisper. I turn to look at him, his eyes settled on me.”

“It was she who suffered- but she had nobody to tell.”

Sometimes we meet someone and are with them for a short time, yet somehow we write about them forever.

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness…

Don’t allow your wounds to turn you into a person you are not.

I think some people are just inexplicably bonded. Drawn by forces beyond their own comprehension, they have no choice but to gravitate toward one another. Destined by fate to keep crossing paths until they finally get it right.
