Catch your dreams
Paint them on the night sky
Without you giving them life.
Catch your dreams
Look them in the eye
Don’t waste another moment
Or second in time.
Catch your dreams
Hold them dear and close
Etch them into your heart
Never let them go.

Dare to consider.
Dare to be right or wrong.
Dare to inquire, change and grow.
Dare to listen, without pretence.
Dare to drink in, only silence.
Dare to speak, move on and let go.
Most of all dare to choose
The essence of you.
Dare, to dare.

I turned the page and found
Blank white with no scribbles.
There were no mistakes.
No scratched out lines.
No misspellings.
I savoured the moment,
So freshly untainted.
But within a few minutes
I blurbed splotches of ink.
I didn’t cringe.
I didn’t cry.
I simply acknowledged and moved on.
I look at blank pages today
With less judgement and more grace
I hold room for myself and mistakes
With freedom to learn and grow
At my own pace.
Life isn’t meant to be
The perfect fairytale story no,
Life is quite the tangled opposite
As most of us from experience know.
But no matter the harshness
There is still the magic
There is still the sacred
Written on every page.
The moment you see it
You live a little different.
You live with more grace.
So go write your pages
You’ll find the magic overlaps
In every single day.

She finally saw the stars
Long been told and known as
An evil curse.
Now staring at these lights
She saw they weren’t anything
Like she had heard.
The tiny orbs were beautiful,
Divine pinpricks in the sky
Contraire to a curse.
Many years she had believed
The night time glowing stars would
Be the death of her.
But all this time,
Those ‘cursed stars’ actually were
Her guiding light.
