I’ve not been around as I’m back full-time studying and still trying to find
balance between it all. I’m missing you and promise as soon as I’ve
worked it all out, I’ll be writing and visiting your blog again. I long
for lazy afternoons around my pad..but for now “crunch time”.
Sending you heartfelt love always.
From my corner…The Land of Oz

constant taunting stars
eternally shining above
meander in this barren land
inquiring where my heart is
trying to find a hollow tree
flawless and untouched
new home to my memories
I bend and grasp my soul
no more turning to dust
rising from my ashes
as the phoenix rises
*
let it all go
***

shadows
in
black and white
bleeding
reflection
on paper
where
naked words
quietly hides
my soul
planted in
orbit on
a balcony
of cloud
eternal
emotions
like rivers
flows
devouring
my shadow
like a gem
in the sky
time melts
where
memories
recede
lightning
shatters
the darkness
as the crescent
moon lights
my soul

the wings of a swan
her broken feathers withered
on her reflection

reflections
linger at
the droplets
of my wild
and stormy soul
lost in
the labyrinth
of life
guarding the
future
from my sight
beneath the
naked truth
lies a
broken heart
where wishes
lay weeping
upon foe
of jilted dreams
unmask my truth
no veiled agenda
no covert pain
until the storm
stills beneath
my sheath
come play
my clavier
note for note
unraveling
my fervor
until
zephyr quench
the burn of
fear
©AvdL 2015
skies are crying
on qui vive
soaring through
silence
the shadows
the sand
every memory
a dream
I’m made of paper
reflection
in capsules
of pain
where
dusk purlieu
*
let me learn
to bleed
and break open
into the sun
rising
like a bird
on wings
of time
©AvdL 2015
almost
alone
in murk
of despair
beyond warning
passing through
desolate walls
of what was
yet to be
like a ghost
I flitter
abhorring
the light
a place
of no return
watching the
shadows
as I cry
*
silent
tears

If you are unhappy, be unhappy.
Do not judge yourself for being that way.
It is wonderful to be unhappy, it is expressing emotion.
Love your unhappiness. It means you are ready for change.
You are ready to go forward, yet you mourn for the old;
you are not ready to let go.
Allow the unhappiness, there is purposefulness in it.
Remove from your life everything that inhibits you
from being the totality of yourself. That is called “becoming”.
Remove from your thoughts all the have to’s, should’s, must’s.
Remove the images you think you must be and just be.
Embrace your life. Know that you created it.
Love all that you have been, said and done.
Know it was all purposeful.
Never see anything as a failure.
See everything as an accomplishment.
Love the hurt, the pain, the sorrow.
For what an experience! What a wonderment!
What jewels of wisdom are now in your treasure!
Be your own teacher, friend, counsel.
Confide in yourself, speak to yourself.
Seek answers that feel right within your soul.
Your soul knows what the truth is,
and it will tell you through feelings.
Always listen to your feelings. They know … they know.
Live, experience, feel. Do not seek to identify yourself.
You will never have a point of understanding from which you
can say, “This is who I am!”, for in each expanding moment
of consciousness, who you are will have
changed into the next moment of being.
To know who you are is to feel what you feel each moment.
Never do anything, no matter how far you are into it,
if you lose the joy of it and it becomes monotonous and mundane.
Do away with it and do something else that brings happiness.
For perhaps what you needed to learn from it
you have already achieved.
Go wherever you want to go,
Do whatever you want to do,
for as long as you want to.
Create only for the mere joy of creating.
When you create for you, you will soon find yourself living in joy.
