Sharing Chocolate

The sun's morning rays caressed the dawn sky

As I opened my eyes, a breeze whispered by.

Just for a moment, there's a smile on my face

But it's gone just as quickly, as I think of my place.

The birds at my window sing to mark a new day,

As I lurch to the washroom, I have no words to say.

But after a shower, and a good affirmation

My smile has returned - I feel part of creation.

I open my front door and scoop up the paper,

The headline I read caused me to waver.

Enjoying my coffee, I hear a strange sound

And my cat's in my lap, in a huge single bound.

He purrs and looks at me, puts a paw on my cheek -

He is my best friend, so patient and meek.

The love that he gives me, I couldn't replace

Nor would I want to, with life's hectic pace.

My thoughts of the day surround like a cloak,

As I lock up my door and I smile at a joke.

I inhale deeply and slowly breathe out

And idly wonder how life would be without.

Thoughts running rampant, I allow them to wander -

I give a mental checkmark to the problems I ponder.

It's hard to believe it's been more than a year

That my life was filled with pain, guilt and fear.

It started because I'd made a decision

That was greeted with scorn and laughter, derision.

The pain that I felt, like my soul in a vice,

My "friends" turned their backs and I paid the price.

Each new day seemed darker, it was tough just to stand,

In utter confusion I reached out my hand.

It was caught in a firm grip, I was raised from despair,

And shown I had worth, and soon found I could care.

The ensuing months were times of discovery;

I was well on my way on the road to recovery.

My pain lessened daily, and I found I could smile

Though not all the time - that will take awhile.

Little by little, my self image grew

And I note with delight that I saw each day new.

I found joy is like chocolate - much better when shared,

Like the smile in the morning helps get me prepared.

I remember that time, when I saw an ex-friend,

In a hospital bed, with her life nearing end.

She cried when she saw me and reached out her hand.

I found love in my heart which I could not understand.

Remember the past and remember your pain,

But don't let them linger, like the clouds after rain.

Be kind to yourself, and then you can share.

It makes all the difference when you can show that you care.

Blessings And Light,

You may enjoy some of my other projects, including the narration of a number of my stories:

1) Sorceress Of Silence : Reese Lomax is a practicing sorceress but even her sizable Book Of Shadows will provide only minimal preparation for the entities she is confronted with. Forced to use ancient sorcery to ensure a demon can no longer interfere on this plane, the price tag will be hefty and paid for... by her soul. And she's not too pleased about this prospect.

2) Angelic Sorcery : In this sequel, Reese is contacted by Archangel Metatron and asked to assume a specific role in service to the Light. When her two mentors are murdered by entities that she created, she is forced to ally with an enigmatic Mountie. They must lure and trap her creations...on the astral planes.

Coming Soon: DEMON'S DECEPTION, A CRYSTAL CONSPIRACY and SPELL OF THE DARK FAE.
