Focus your thoughts on each moment.
Let go of the last.
Understand you will get to the future.
You are here, now.
Bring your focus in.

Focus
Grow
Process through the pain.
Feel each new growth as it changes you and your surroundings.
It is not going to be without discomfort.
You are growing, learning, and are yearning to become who you were meant to be.
Looking back, looking forward, staying present, it’s all okay.
Regret, forgiveness, understanding that each experience was for a reason.
For growth.
This process is not easy.
Forgiveness heals.
Forgiving others helps you also forgive yourself.
Letting go of attachments to feelings or emotions, pains or expectations, allows you to find peace.
Allowing peace helps you achieve more understanding of this life and the process of it all.
Don’t hold onto anger, judgement or fear.
Let go.
Release.
Be free of it so you can have peace.
You are worthy of peace.
You are allowed to feel good.
You will keep growing, no matter what.
It might not always feel good, but it will be okay.
You are safe.
You are loved.
You are healing.

Better on my Own
I took a little walk on my own for a while.
When I turned around to get back to you, you were already gone.
You held my heart for me.
I didn’t know you’d be gone when I realized why you held it so tightly.
You had my heart long ago.
Now it’s gone, with you, not sure if or when I’ll ever see either of you again.
Until then, I’ll go on, and I’ll seek out no one, for all I need is me.
I’ve learned that, now I can see I can grow a new heart.
I’ll be fine, I am good, better off, now that you’re gone.
– M.
You are Safe
I see you,
Hurting and not telling anyone.
I see you,
Falling and falling, struggling to pull yourself back up.
I see you.
It’s okay.
It’s all going to be okay.
You are safe.
⁃ M.
Protection
You cover me with so much love.
You have helped me feel safe.
Making sure there is a balance so I can still feel independent and gain more self-confidence, in my own space.
Yet, however you can, you protect me.
You keep me covered and safe through all of the storms.
Wherever I go, I know you will be close.
Near or far, you are always there.
Thank you, you have become my safe space.
I didn’t know how much I needed you until I finally found you.
Now here we are, so far, yet closer than ever before.
-M.
Gone
There you were, walking in the fog.
We had been apart for so long.
It felt like a lifetime has passed by, since you’ve been gone.
Though, there was no embrace.
There was no tear in your eye, not even a drop that would make its way down your face.
It was as if you were different.
Your heart had changed.
My heart seemed to go silent, no longer could I feel its beat.
My lungs were waiting, desperately, hoping to again, soon, be able to breathe.
It was as if we could no longer be.
As I stood before you, there was a silent storm starting to thunder inside of me.
You turned away.
I couldn’t find the words to ask you to stay.
You were gone.

Lake Crescent (and the Lodge)
This lake is a magical lake.
The waters heal you.
The sunsets will astonish you.
Lake Crescent is not just a simple lake.
To know her beauty, you must feel her healing.
Summertime is, seemingly, the best time of year to capture her magic, but all year round she will be carrying on…
So many come to see her.
Once they do, they are mesmerized.
With ducks, docks and a shore full of soft rocks, you can be certain to find your favorite spot.
Lake Crescent Lodge is most certainly divine, with luxury dining and quaint little cabins, you will find many ways to pass the time.
There is so much room to roam, plus immaculate sights to see this beautiful lake, from multiple points of view.
If you walk along the forest line, you will find many trails to explore.
These lead you to some of the oldest trees in the state of Washington, or so I have been told, some are over five-hundred years old.
If you’re reading this and need a new place to explore, Port Angeles, WA has this stunning beauty, who’s shores you might enjoy taking some time to explore.
Plus you might even discover the magic of this beautiful lake, that has so many perplexed about.
Either way, hopefully you do get out and find somewhere new to explore.
Nature is magical, no matter where you are.

Trapped
You have been crippled, blocked by your fears.
There seems to be no way out.
All you can see is more that keeps you trapped in fear.
There may be a tall cast iron gate, and a barbed wire fence, but look at what is beyond.
There is a life that you desire, a peace that you deserve, a place where you belong.
Behind these bars of fear is not safe, is what you say.
There is so much out there, beyond this gate.
Look at the sun.
It has to continue to push beyond…
Beyond the sky, beyond the sea,
Beyond the darkness and what it cannot see.
You must, too,
You must push through…
Beyond the fears that keep you trapped here.
Find your way around that gate, for there is always a path from behind the gate of fear.
-M.
Driftwood
You have deep scars that not many can see, but you show them all to me.
Many of my scars are showing, but I have others, others that are much deeper, that only you can see.
You try to protect me, as you block the winds and the waves from reaching my open surface.
You carry the weight of so many, as people walk on you so that they can look inside of me, like my wounds are open just for that very purpose.
You seldom leave my side, when the winds blow or someone rolls us apart, you always find a way back to my side.
Nature brought us here, to finish out this life together.
We were both once deeply rooted trees, now here we are, on this shore, waiting for the tides to take us away once more.
-M.
When You are with Me
Play with me in the water,
Lay with me by the sea.
Let’s walk on the sand and wait for the waves, as the tide to comes in.
The sun will set and the air will grow colder,
But when your with me, the cold will not matter.
We will walk hand in hand,
Watching out for crabs in the sand.
We will collect rocks and shells,
There will be so many that our pockets will overfill.
We can pack a picnic and feed the the leftovers to the seagulls,
When you are with me, the days will never, so we can just walk the sandy beaches forever, at peace, hand in hand.
-M.
