The Ocean of Possibilities

Steady as she may

This ship is about to sail

In the ocean of possibilities

Only doubt will cause you to fail

The depth of the dark waves

Begin to perplex and intrigue me

How many sailors died?

As these tides sent them to early graves?

How many wars were fought?

On a siege on the sea?

How many items were stolen?

By pirates that never got caught?

The sea is a beautiful mystery

Enchanting our senses

The smells and sights

Take down our defenses

Rest haiku

A day forgotten

Rest like a turtle in shell

Wrapped up in soft cotton

Despair Not

Despair, despair, despair

Release every care

What might not work now

Might seem like a steep climb

But there’s a view on top

Fret, fret, fret

Let go of every regret

What you didn’t have

Might have been

An opaque trophy

Loneliness, loneliness, loneliness

Release every time you felt neglect

What might seem like isolation

Is actually a sure sign of

Character development and growth

We all go from spring to winter

Wounded hearts with a splinter

It’s all about how we recover

Make it to the finish line

With whole souls and a new focus

Rain Droplets in My Soul

Rain droplets in my soul

Frozen in time

I am fine

Just wish

I could cover this hole

God is my anchor

The ship’s commander

The Mystic

Each day is something new to discover

Like walking a freshly paved road

With flowers on the border

Grateful yesterday for the peace I sowed

I want to reach inside

For some truth

Is life an absolute?

Or my day walking?

Not sure how to feel

I go both and forth

But I keep walking on

Between suspicion and worth

You have two things in hand

A cross and an epitaph

I guess that’s all our path

A life of struggle going up a graph

Please don’t give up on me

Just seeing things as realistic

I haven’t given up on you

In this heart, there’s still a genuine mystic

Glad to Be Back

My Ink Smears is returning. Yay!! It’s been a while but glad to be back. 🙂

My Website

I hope everyone is doing ok. 🙂 I know I haven’t been on much. I have been taking on other endeavors. I created my own website which features original poetry, a short story, and some sermons that I did. I hope this will inspire and if you are interested, I invite you to check it out here: https://www.carlyswritingsandteachings.com/. Also, I’m accepting donations to help support my friend Stephanie, who is undergoing breast cancer treatments. If you like to find out more, click here: https://www.carlyswritingsandteachings.com/donate. All the donations will go towards her treatments. You can donate through PayPal.
