I cry watercolour skies,
You can see the tracks of my tears.
I’m too dead inside.
Indigo hues deepen as daylight wanes,
And I realise,
I don’t live here anymore, inside my head.
All I can think of is,
Hope is a slow poison,
And temporary ecstasy,
is enchanting,
Against the fatal embrace of time.

Seek the wonder in life,
And never stop.
Seek the showers of gold,
And the shimmers of sweet light.
The good things,
The mysterious things,
The wonderful things.
Never stop seeking what makes you smile.
Allow yourself to get lost in the magic.
Seek the balm for the soul.
Is it better to feel numb?
Even just for a little while.
To turn off from the sadness, you’ll know you will have to face again and again
Or is feeling numb a sign that the sadness has become too much? and you have become used to feeling like this,
Used to all the bullshit and the trauma, that feels never-ending.
And being numb is a coping response to try and feel some peace,
even if its short lived, even if its for one moment.
One little sliver of peace amongst the chaos.
One moment of floating instead of falling into the void of darkness that is my mind.

Hold me close my dear.
Hold me near and near.
Never let go.
Your warmth and light,
Keep me safe always.
May love be with us forevermore.
And may love and peace,
Be all the happy moments we share.
I am with you always,
Heart and soul.
Through stormy seas and sunshine,
And all the inbetween.
You have my being to the core,
You hold my heart with yours,
Intertwined together.

As the sun sets over the mountains and darkness becomes night,
Our souls reset for another day.
Our hearts settle.
Our minds may race processing the day that is done.
Our body lays to rest.Β
As the sun sets over the mountains and darkness becomes night,
We become one with our true self.

Most importantly
JUST BE YOURSELF! π
To the core of your heart and soul, as your fire burns bright into the night; find your inner true self and go with the flow.
Stand up for yourself and what you believe in and don’t back down or give in to societies cruel games.
You may not feel it but know that you are loved just as you are and how you came to be.
As you grow paths of many intertwine yours but do not let them change your inner self in negativity or darkness, let all that go.
Follow the light of positivity and wisdom on your journey ahead and be free as you are in your true form.
No matter what comes and goes or changes in the tides of life, just be yourself π

The mind is a paradox of both dark and light moments and thoughts.
Without the dark we cannot see the light.
Without the light we cannot learn from the darkness.
Both intertwined in perfect balance,
For our exploration of our inner soul and divine soul journey.

Some life lessons and challenges are harder than others. Some take longer than others and are more confusing. And some life lessons and challenges do not make sense at all until that lightbulb moment;
Where all the pieces of the puzzle fall together.
We face hardships and pain but in the struggle we grow in wisdom and truth.
– βThe Lightbulb Moment” – Jacqueline Ann Lente
Weary
Hazy
Conflicted.
Damaged like a broken piece of china.
A beautiful mistake.
The aftermath of a cruel heartbreak.
Sorrow
Pain
Chaos
Always feeling lost and out of place.
– βBroken Chaos” – Jacqueline Ann Lente
Hold me tight,
Bring me escape.
The shadows of the world fall too heavy upon my face.
I feel so out of it,
Like I don’t belong,
At all in this place.
– “Bring Me Escape” – Jacqueline Ann Lente
Everyday we face challenges.
Everyday we face struggle.
However in every challenge is a lesson learnt. And in every struggle there is a path for positive change.
There is a reason for every experience and a plan for everything set in motion.
Even if you are unaware as of yet, the reasons why will show up eventually.
Connection.
It is all a part of your divine soul journey.
Have no regrets and live free.
– “Live Free” – Jacqueline Ann Lente
Patience, perseverance.
Strength and love;
Hold close to your heart
In times of struggle and when times fall apart.
Wisdom and knowledge will bring you closer to the truth.
The real reality in everything you do.
Observe with clarity and perspective,
Day to day.
And grow in the light that leads the way.
– “The Light That Leads The Way” – Jacqueline Ann Lente
My dear, I know the mind can get messy as emotions are all jumbled up.
But your soul is still beautiful,
Your heart, still strong;
And your spirit still flows wildly with every passing day.
The darkness is the truth in reality,
Sometimes it’s the bittersweet knowledge that we come face to face with,
That brings us to clarity and understanding.
Although the journey can be tough and troublesome,
The universe is guiding you to the right way to live a full life and be free.
Find your peace amongst the chaos and hold on.
All the pain and struggle are worth it in the end.
– “When The Mind Gets Messy” – Jacqueline Ann Lente
Darkness consumes me.
Darkness welcomes me into its sorrowful lair. Holding me there, captive with my thoughts. Crashing together wildly and with no control.
The pain is heavy and hazy.
The weight of everything, everyone and everyword heaped upon my shoulders.
Pain shoots through my whole body, the kind of pain that touches the soul; that tries to weaken the spirit.
My journey is not easy and my mind sometimes is unforgiving.
My bones crack, my muscles ache, my head foggy from lack of sleep. My eyes tired from looking into the abyss of the night. Unable to shut off. Unable to dream a sweet sleep.
– “Insomnia – Lost Sleep” – Jacqueline Ann Lente
Full moon, guide me.
Direct me through the stars and the wind.
Hold me close.
And open me up,
To the energy without and within.
Protect me from the negative.
Bring me positivity and wisdom,
Intuition and knowledge.
Fill me up with your all-mighty power,
To live another day,
To fill my soul with love and peace.
Bathe me in your everlasting light,
And show me the way through the night.
