I’ve seen through others’ eyes,

suffered many dies,

been there with those suffering pain –

feel with them in their demise,

see in them – shame.

Instead of fearing them as “the other,”

I listen to their stories, and they become real,

then we see them as kin,

so nice to see from them – a grin –

sometimes just being there for them is a win.

What peoples I’m talking about

need not defining –

everyone who’s fallen down

and not shining –

sometimes too proud to seek help from another,

people like us can stand up to be a good sister or brother.

“Alone, but yet together, we all depend on each other.” ~ E. Lang

Keep shining brightly

with Peace and Love,

Evana.

Part II: Flower in the Snow…

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

Flower in the snow, ❄️

do you even know

how beautiful you are –

head reaching to the stars.

Sun, clouds, rain and snow.

🌹 Flower in the Snow,

I can see you stand proud with the sun

and blow with the wind,

even when it’s a cold one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Flower in the Snow – ☃️

no matter what the weather throws,

you always bless us with a beautiful show.

I just wanted to let you know

how gorgeous you are,

you make our days glow! ✨

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don’t know

if you heard of Leonardo,

but he studied the beauty in nature

and the force inside life that helps us grow

Sometimes seeing flowers can feel like seeing rainbows 🌈 .

He wanted to know

about this force that allows us to transform

that what is within us all

that pushes us to our greatest potential

to set the world aglow!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let our brains be relieved of made up constraints,

let us let go of the mundane

and change to the other lane –

👇

Even in the pouring rain,

it’s so not insane for doing what’s truly ours,

we’re on the chosen train even if to many’s disdain,

it is possible for everyone to find, get and maintain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When there’s something weighing you down,

it’s your baggage or your griefcase.

Look within to find the answers to change your pace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Forgiveness is a freeing grace to each other –

not good is it being angry at one another.

Find that place in your heart

where you can see the perspective

of your sister or brother,

Father or Mother.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Using God as your guide is your best start,

he will help you see your part.

Waves of the ocean,

sand in a glass –

if we call on God,

this too shall pass.

God’s Blessings,

Evana

A flower in the snow.;

it’s beauty is put to show,

comes out to brighten our world

without saying a word.

True beauty comes from within;

even a brief smile or a little wave

will make the world a better place.

Say “thanks,” don’t be ruled by haste

and always lean towards joy;

give the world some heart ❤️ in your day,

and add kindness to our shared space.

We are all here together:

each of us storming our own weather,

so why not be as gentle as a feather

as you spread joy and kindness –

what could be better?

True beauty comes from within;

even a brief smile or a little wave

will make the world a better place.

Look up from the screens,

put away the devices,

too much time is sacrificed.

Let’s use our time wisely,

enjoy time spent together

it keeps families connected better.

Get out, shine ✨ out your love, ❤

listen quietly to him above:

hear your feet 🥾 🥾 upon the snow

and don’t forget to glow!

Glow with the love 💗 of God

inside you.

Glow and shine out to the world!

🌺With Love and Blessings,

Evana.

🙌Resurrect & Reset Your New Perspect…

Live in his Glory &

Rewrite your Story!💖

————————————————————————

I chose nature…

I prefer the tweet of a bird, 🐦

a reel of a fishing pole, 🎣

and the actual clouds. ☁️

————————————————————————

As the worldwide web is crowded

too many faces of ours are shrouded

trading our actual for virtual reality;

like many fish are in the sea,

it can’t be easy to break free.

————————————————————————

I chose nature…

I prefer the tweet of a bird, 🐦

a reel of a fishing pole 🎣

and the actual clouds. ⛅️

————————————————————————

Hiding behind these made up worlds,

outside and inside of them can hurt –

not truly knowing and growing in their

own identities –

being blocked from genuine intimacy

makes real life remain a mystery.

————————————————————————

I’d rather see someone’s face

then look at screens,

read a book, write a poem –

this world is much bigger

than what it seems:

Dare to go out into the unknown,

there you will be blessed to find your

golden mean –

your road to better.

Our Road to Better…

_____________________________________________________

Our road to better

doesn’t depend on a days’ weather,

but sometimes can with the last thing we said.

————————————————————————

Words and thoughts inside our heads –

some come out, yet some aren’t shed.

On our road to better,

might we write our future self a letter?

————————————————————————

It might go like this:

“Don’t you worry dear,

your future’s bright and clear,

you’re only in a tough place now

but trust God and it will pass –

this struggle will not last.

————————————————————————

Although you’re troubled now,

have faith in God and patience

you have a precious gift endowed

you will share on many occasions.

————————————————————————

Your future will be beautiful and bright,

when you look back, you’ll find –

that these were all stepping stones

of a better life to take in stride.

————————————————————————

Always confide in him

who knows all,

who made all creatures

big and small;

with him,

your light will never dim!

————————————————————————

So clothe yourself with kindness,

mute out the never minders,

be mindful of your words –

take off your blinders.

Your brightness reminds us

that God’s Love ❤️ is timeless.

————————————————————————

Blessings,

🌺Evana

Angels Cry When the Heart Sighs…

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Angels cry when the heart sighs,

sometimes one must say good-bye –

love is painful when one-sided,

our hearts cry out, it hurts our pride.

_______________________________________________________________________________

When you find you’ve tried without luck

let things flow by –

sometimes there is change, sometimes not

and we divide

when we are faced with love denied.

_______________________________________________________________________________

With a closed heart, love has no where to go,

who can say when the roads meet –

keep safe your heart of gold.

_______________________________________________________________________________

We swallow our pride, swim against the tide,

and keep to our own tribe.

Once again, it seems, we’ve been taken for a ride.

_______________________________________________________________________________

No one can help those preoccupied,

no need to worry to stay on their good side,

life’s too precious to be pushed aside.

_______________________________________________________________________________

img_3512

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sooner or later you’ll begin to confide

and once again hit your stride,

no need to stay down and hide –

you know your strength is deep down inside.

_______________________________________________________________________________

With each coming day you’ll be satisfied,

that life is wonderful and becomes beautified –

you’ll feel purified from those your love was denied.

No more living on the wrong side,

always remember to confide in him divinified.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Soon you’ll be on the upside

and have amplified your life’s purpose –

It’s time to realize that and shine with pride.

_______________________________________________________________________________

You are perfect in God’s eyes:

he always sees, always hears

and always cries your tears.

He wants to help you see each sunrise

as an every day surprise!

_______________________________________________________________________________

…Angels cry when the heart sighs…

_______________________________________________________________________________

Blessings,

Evana.

Create Love 💖Alive!

“To be or not to be – I am.

To see or not to see – I can.

To love or not to love – I do.

To live or not to live – I will.”

~ E. Lang

If you are a creator,

you are a part of creation,

so let’s spur a creation nation.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Only if you’re impatient

with yourself and others

you will feel alienation.

Alienation is like isolation

against association,

deviation from liberation.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You’re either part of creation

or part of destruction

in the making,

no need faking:

truth thinking leads to leading

but most are blindly agreeing

without looking,

and without seeing.

To be or not to be – I am.

To see or not to see – I can.

To love or not to love – I do.

To live or not to live – I will.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Don’t agree that all is true

when it goes against me

and goes against you –

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We are all here for a short time.

Time cannot be bought –

the clock chimes.

God wants us to stand up

for what we believe

not blindly be deceived

and follow someone else’s lead.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We are all meant to lead,

leaders make leaders

our need is to believe –

we stand up for what’s right

even when not well received

from those uptight.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Those who at first we falsely perceive as bright,

then somehow plow right through the ✋ stoplight

as we regarded them as polite without foresight.

Those that enjoy attention from the spotlight

until we feel no delight in the plight of a snakebite.

To be or not to be – I am.

To see or not to see – I can.

To love or not to love – I do.

To live or not to live – I will.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Don’t agree that all is true

when it goes against me

and goes against you –

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

People are easily convinced

without using their own minds

letting other choose and not resist

to dismiss the unfixed

and continue confined in a bind.

_____________________________________________________________

Quick to react, quick to judge –

so much easier not to budge,

to not think on their own

and also quick to raise the tone.

_____________________________________________________________

Much harder it is to keep our calm,

God’s comfort acts as soothing balm

as he holds us in his palm

as our savior and strongest hold

keep safe your heart of gold. 💛

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

To all with him console:

🙌 May your most beautiful 🌺 life unfold!

To be or not to be – I am.

To see or not to see – I can.

To love or not to love – I do.

To live or not to live- I will.

Nature Calls Us, Are We Listening?

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

Nature has a subtle way

to call on us in its own unique way.

Have you seen that baby deer

that poked its head out of the clear?

Time stands still –

when we allow ourselves to chill.

Photo by Willian Justen de Vasconcellos on Pexels.com

These are gentle reminders

that we can still be wonder finders –

to not lose track and not forget

to take time to relax;

not strain your mind to its max

and take off those blinders.

In this world where there are plenty lost,

let’s be finders of a new world

in which people

learn and grow kinder,

and decrease the “never minders.”

It’s important that you stay true

and whatever words you say are you,

you need to come to realize

it’s good to cut lies and drop the disguise

no need putting on a facade,

hate to tell you there’s no prize.

It’s good to learn to work things through

which takes much time, it’s hard to do –

but nothing good is done is haste

time spent to grow is not times’ waste.

…

…The other day,

a white squirrel passed my way

as I was almost to work

to begin my day…

There was a white squirrel

at the edge of the street –

by the tree line

where our eyes me(e)t:

“don’t see me as a threat,

stay aware of your mindset,

you won’t be late don’t sweat,

it’s good to get lost for a sec

you won’t regret,

life is not a game of roulette:

going on a jet, getting out of debt,

what is it that you net?, instead

listen to the simple sounds of nature

they will take you away on any day.

This encounter was free, no need to pay!”

As I’m wading through my stacks of “to-do’s,”

I stop to be calm, it’s like heavenly balm:

I realize I enjoy being part of the news –

my passion of poetry, comedy and the “un-blues,”

is certainly my deepest desire it’s true!

Don’t wait for a blue moon

to listen more and become more attune –

forever it won’t stay the month of June:

Go ahead and use these gentle signs

as a way to take you back

to a much quieter time;

a time when clocks still seemed to go slow,

a time when people were valued much more,

a time when folks would go out the door

because they know there is more

to explore outdoors.

…Enjoy your open doors!

Love, Peace and Kindness,

Evana.

Try a Smile – Has it Been a While?

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

A Smile…

A smile is like wearing peace on your face,

showing love in your heart

and it’s doing your part.

Try a smile…

Smiling helps you let go

and enjoy the flow –

relax into yourself

instead of staying tense

as you come and go.

Try a smile…

Something as simple as a smile

can shift ones day

in each and every way:

it’s like turning up the dial.

Try a smile…

It brightens and heightens

the places you go –

you’ll see smiles returning

from strangers you don’t know.

Kindness travels in a smile,

your smiles will spread for miles.

Add kindness to your days

it will return to you in rays.

Try a smile and let it stay a while,

you might be surprised

how much you feel alive.

Keep alive your smiles

in all life’s trials.

Be very blessed and less stressed

in your health invest.

If emotions you’ve repressed,

it’s time for them expressed.

It is then you will get some rest

and your reward will be life zest!

Peace, Love & Kindness,

Evana.
