internal heaven

Published June 12, 2012 by Joy Mitchell

i need a clear page

a sacred place to practice

the place where silence is golden

and divine revelations happen

where the soul feels at home

and the mind has no boundaries

wholeness within my heart

and wisdom astounding

no interruptions

no outside influence

no judgement

no opinions

with unlimited assurance

unadulterated guidance

with no doubts allowed

a  place to freestyle

without a spectating crowd

a place to be free

and imagine like a child

where failure doesn’t exist

and the time is always now

i need an open space

where art and life are one

where i’m eternally connected

and there’s abundant love

creativity is unique

and change is always welcome

knowledge forever budding

manifesting inner outcomes

 

finding JOY

Published June 12, 2012 by Joy Mitchell

my tears stream endlessly

from the hollow hole inside

i’ve grown so disconnected

from this thing i thought was life

most of what i worked to learn

turned out to be a lie

i don’t fit in with anyone

i just observe from the side

the things i used to think were cool

are lame and pointless now

and all the stuff i used to laugh at

barely make me smile

i seem to be at a fork in the road

with many more options than two

one of these roads will lead to my joy

i’m just not sure which one to choose

inverted flame

i got something to say

but nothing to write

aggression to let out

but nothing to fight

tears to cry

but i know it’ll be alright

i really wanna laugh

ain’t no comic in sight

trying not to complain

even though i think i might

food on my plate

but i dare not take a bite

goals to achieve

and success seems like a fright

staring at the sun

in the shadow of my moonlight

facing a leap

and running from the height

everlastin’ valley low

on the cap of my mountain high

being stingy with my breath

to selfish to even sigh

the trees observe my heaviness

and absorb my darkest light

yet my stubborn flame still burns bright

climate control

Published June 12, 2012 by Joy Mitchell

sunsets beneath the clouds

right where the sea and land meet

the wind takes control

i am free as it guides me

i breathe with the breeze

and float like the leaves

i submit to nature

i bow with strength

like a willow tree

the confidence i hold is like thunder

through my tears of rain

as i gaze among the stars

I avoid the black hole of my pain

though your lightning strikes and shocks

i will no longer place the blame

not that you shouldnt control your storms

but it is my climate I must change

beauty

Published June 12, 2012 by Joy Mitchell

they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder

I must be lucky ’cause you’re in my arms

They say BEAUTY is only skin deep

Well I must be blessed ’cause your BEAUTY radiates far beyond depth

They say a lot about BEAUTY…

But I have the honor of calling BEAUTY mine

love

LOVE is everything and nothing
hard work and easy play
dedication and detachments

 

ups
and downs,
ins and outs …

 

… ying and yang,
apples and oranges

 

it is day and night
it’s the opposite and the same
it is you and i
and i LOVE you!

Jurnee of all trades

poet with a cloudy cause
too much to explain in words
my purpose is as deep as the ocean
and my roots like the trees of the earth

 

i’m a little bit of everywhere
and a lot of no place at all
just kinda floating in the wind
the leaf that refuses to fall

manifestation…the choice

Published June 12, 2012 by Joy Mitchell

spontaneous action overlooking my day
i can shift gears and grab it
or simply maintain
i can wish, desire, imagine
or i can jump in the game and play

 

a million possibilities
if i get out of my own way
reaching for the mountains
while planted on the ground
foundation through my roots
salvation through my crown

thoughts of an empath…but don’t judge me

knowledge is power
but not without action
peace is a solution
though it is only a fraction
to hope is good intention
only when it precedes will
and you can touch all you want
what does it matter if i don’t feel?

fast is only fast in the presence of slow
to stop doesn’t mean a damn thing
if you’ve never heard of go
existence is tricky
only when i look is it there
life is quite the task
but never more than i can bare

patience is a virtue
but there is no time or space
kindness is better appreciated
when one knows not a happy face
persistence wouldn’t be a word
if we always kept it moving
work wouldn’t be work
if we loved what we were doing
money only makes sense
when you can buy what you want
honesty holds less value when you know the truth upfront
if everyone was brave
courage wouldn’t be a quality
if everything was real
there wouldn’t be an actuality
stillness is a treasure when things begin to change
know that no thing no where
can imbalance the yin and the yang

step into yourself
when you get outta bed
appreciate your unique journey that lies ahead
show the world the part
that you are here to play
be an example
so someone else will shine one day

 

be unapologetic
about the person you are
someone’s respecting your boldness
quietly from afar
be the salt of the Earth,
the glow in the dark
after all…
if it didn’t shine who would know it was a star?
