“Tide of Light."
Into the Unknown: The Dance of the Sky
Getting lost in the shadows of the night
My tears fading to the past of what I’d known
The light shines bright from the heavens above as I walk alone, no one in sight
Surrendering to the Known
Leveling up my eyes look into my life disappearing in the rearview mirror
As time passes slowly, I recall this same feeling before
As I’m driving, my old life fades as the shadows disappear
Time and Stillness
As time passes, so do the ages of stillness that surround my heart
Before the shadows disappear, I’m reminded to love the life I’ve been given
Forever grateful every day for another sunrise, sunset, and breath
Before too long, we’ve lost the very life we have been living

In Time’s Embrace
Sitting here in time with an angel by my side,
I find myself thankful in this sweet embrace.
Though time has passed, I’ve landed where I reside,
In this space, I feel at home, a sacred place.
A spiritual realm visits me in the night,
Believing in something greater than I see.
Unbecoming a distant dream, pure and bright,
Spending time in solitude, just with me.
Whispers of Eternity
In the quiet moments, whispers of eternity,
An angel’s presence, a gentle guide by my side.
Gratitude flows in this serene fraternity,
In this sacred space, where my soul can reside.
Night brings visions of realms beyond the seen,
A tapestry of dreams, woven with divine thread.
Believing in the unseen, a world serene,
Where the heart finds solace, where fears are shed.
In solitude, I find my truest self,
Unbecoming the shadows of distant dreams.
Embracing the light, the love, the wealth,
Of moments spent in reflection’s gentle streams.

“ A Woman's Grace.”
In the realm of stars, a woman stands alone,
Independent, strong, her spirit brightly shown.
With a heart so sweet, and a mind so keen,
She navigates life with a grace unseen.
Her strength is quiet, yet it moves the earth,
In her presence, you feel a sense of worth.
She builds her world with meticulous care,
A testament to the love she dares to share.
Her sweetness is a gentle, soothing balm,
A touch of kindness, a voice so calm.
Yet within her lies a fire, fierce and bright,
An independent soul, a guiding light.
In her eyes, the universe unfolds,
A tapestry of dreams, stories untold.
She is a woman, a blend of strength and grace,
A woman who finds her own sacred space.

A Journey Through Time
In the attic of an old, creaky house, Lovey stumbled upon a dusty, leather-bound journal. Its pages were yellowed with age, and the ink had faded, but the words were still legible. As she opened the journal, a strange sensation washed over her, and she found herself transported back to the year 1983.
Lovey blinked, adjusting to her new surroundings. She was in a quaint village, bustling with life. The journal belonged to a young woman named Meredith, who had lived in this village. Lovey decided to follow Meredith's footsteps, experiencing her life through the entries in the journal.
Lovey was a spirited young woman, full of dreams and aspirations. She wrote about her love for painting, her secret hideaway by the river, and her longing to see the world beyond the village. Lovey felt a deep connection with Meredith, as if she were living her life alongside her.
One day, Lovey found herself at Meredith's favorite spot by the river. She saw Meredith, sitting on a rock, sketching the landscape. Lovey approached her, and to her surprise, Meredith could see her. They talked for hours, sharing their hopes and fears. Lovey confided in Meredith about her struggles with societal expectations and her desire to break free from them.
Through her interactions with Lovey, Meredith learned about the strength and resilience it took to pursue one’s dreams in a time when opportunities for women were limited. She realized that despite the differences in their eras, the core of their struggles and aspirations were the same.
As Lovey continued to read the journal and live through Meredith's experiences, she discovered a newfound appreciation for her own life. She understood that the values and lessons from the past were timeless, and they had shaped her in ways she hadn’t realized.
When Lovey finally returned to her own time, she felt a profound sense of gratitude and inspiration. She decided to honor Meredith's memory by pursuing her own dreams with the same courage and determination. The journal had not only transported her through time but had also bridged the gap between the past and the present, teaching her that the journey of self-discovery is a timeless adventure.
