heart beats

February 14, 2018

Darling,

Never forget

You were hardened from the sparks of your ancestors

Polished by their grit and glory

A diamond in the dirt

And when others doubt your value

Be still

Place a hand over your soft heart

And listen

Let their voices drum a reminder.

“‘You are enough’, ‘you are enough’, ‘you are enough’.”

  Thank you, anneli. There are so many fabulous poets and wordsmiths in this world, to stand among them would be an honour.

MyStoriesWithMusic

GETTING CREATIVE- combining my short stories with the music I make (read the story and you’ll find the song), making audio stories (for those of you who prefer to listen), posts about my music, poems (or really, really short stories as I like to call them 😉), throwing in some quotes for inspiration and sometimes I try to draw something too (not very successfully I might add) 😊.
