It’s all in the Sea…🌊

It’s all in the sea,

we can be free

if we chose to believe –

it’s all in the sea.

It’s all in the sea,

wild and free,

beauty is she –

when you’re ready to flee

you would agree

this is the key,

it’s all in the sea.

When you finally use

your inner eye

to wake up and realize

it really doesn’t take much

to find ways to feel more alive.

Feeling alive…can be

helping other’s thrive,

just don’t overfill your load

or you might

take a nose dive; 🙃🤣

Feeling alive…can be

taking a drive

to somewhere new

you’re still to arrive,

learning the history behind

beautiful stories of humankind

and relaxing into

the rhyme that shines. ✨

It’s in the sea

where we equalize,

it’s in the sea

we use eager eyes,

lose disguise,

stop the lies,

end the cries

and find where

the reason hides;

our new self arises

and our old self dies.

It’s in the sea

we’ll come closer to

where our own region lies,

cut through ties

and cease doing things unwise.

The weight we carry with us

is realized,

and when the eagle flies,

our freedom is symbolized.

No need to analyze

the key to life is

to see the light

when we’re alive,

no denying

we’re all part of

the tree of life.

There’s no shame

to dream alive.

Dreaming is not for kids alone,

also much needed for those well grown,

we’re all kids in God’s heart ❤️,

go ahead and dream your part!

If you don’t let yourself dream,

you’ll lower your tone

and feel thrown

into the big unknown

where you’ll be prone

to groan and moan,

then a beautiful life

cannot be grown.

In awe we see the star filled sky,

in awe we see the ocean life –

and every day we come alive,

we also live in light.✨

Love and light,

Evana.

Own the Door that’s Yours…

Own the door that’s yours,

no more standing at shores,

just keep the good stuff brewing,

continue your flow of renewing

again each time with pursuing –

and always keep in mind your goal.

In time you’ll be lead to the right door.

Open the door,

there’s more to life.

Open the door,

don’t think twice –

a short time lives a life.

You’ll know by the light you feel

that’s it is for you and real –

you deserve it

you are a big deal:

now take your light and

keep it bright!

Find within what tribe you reside,

some quality people to be by your side,

and look for people who don’t hide

but feel pride to be of a good kind:

those who step up ⬆️

not talk down,

those that help others

chase away the frown.

It’s okay to open the door,

you are meant for so much more!

🙌 Be blessed,

Evana.

Gone, but not lost…

Gone, but not lost

those we love most

are always with us

❤️

Not lost, but gone

gone is in many a song.

There are many types of gone,

some are gone along –

from the heavens you’ll hear

their song.

Others are gone, but here to stay

not only in memory but in a futures’ day.

You may see them again and always pray

for those that are dear to you

and those who are lost

for everyone needs prayer,

not just your fingers crossed.

Gone, but not lost

those we love most

are always with us.

❤️

No time, no time…

Make time for the living,

make space for the human race.

Many struggle with keeping a healthy pace.

It’s not a race, no need to chase just seek grace.

Once we realize it’s not of us

we begin to understand our case

then enjoy life and not let time a waste with things that leave a bitter taste.

Make time for the living,

take time for those we love.

Make space for them too,

our time is short and

heaven awaits.

Soften your heart,

open your mind –

Listen to what they say,

it’s never too late –

don’t tempt your fate.

Start addressing all the blessings

you’ve received of legacies

your loved ones leave.

Change…

Change is something we all must face

no matter who you are

and what you chase,

change is something we all must face.

Go with the flow not the quo

who doesn’t know

just puts on a show

and all are on an all time low.

Gone, but not lost

those we love most

are always with us.

❤️

As the fabric of our lives

is weaved within

so are they who we call kin.

Keep believing

in life’s blessings ✨

you’re receiving.

Every day is

God’s gift to us,

in his power and

his love we trust.

💖 You are loved,

Evana.

Distance Happens ~ Blest be the ties that binds

Distance…

When people move away-

they just might tear apart

the fabric of their ties

and anew they’ll have to start.

Far away

Far away they say

Far away I go

every day.

In my mind

I love the places

where there are no races.

Far away

Far away they say

Far away I go

every day.

It’s okay to be far away

recreate the severed ties

It’s okay to be far away

letting go of foolish pride

a choice to start fresh

and live a life as blessed.

Far away

Far away they say

Far away I go

every day.

Some do yoga, meditation,

some need a vacation –

let’s change the station

of the entire nation.

Far away

Far away they say

Far away I go

every day.

It’s time,

time for a change

to rearrange

no need explain’n

what needs done,

to see it’s plain.

Far away

Far away they say

Far away I go

every day.

It’s okay to be far away,

it gives us a test –

whether close or far –

just maintain your connect.

Far away

Far away they say

Far away I go

every day.

You can be living right next to your kin,

yet not visit or even call on a whim,

it’s important to keep in touch,

even though we’re all in a rush.

Far away

Far away they say

Far away I go

every day.

Rushing in, rushing out,

rushing here, rushing there,

doing this, doing that

pause to breathe

focus and take care,

don’t let your life line go flat.

Care of yourself and care of others

like a small child gets from their mother.

Mothers nurture kids to grow,

we all have needs for support we know

as adults we sometimes fall short it shows,

and our connections – they fall low.

Keep your love bucket full of sunshine

as you play with words of rhyme!

…Connect

You’re gone when you’re here,

you’re here – but you’re gone.

Connect with me please.

Never dread to talk –

a relationship’s the work of a clock.

Communication needs to flow freely,

it cannot endure a block.

You’re gone when you’re here,

you’re here – but you’re gone.

Connect with me please.

Never fear to talk,

a bottle under pressure

is about to pop.

You’re gone when you’re here,

you’re here, but you’re gone.

Connect with me please.

Don’t make me think it’s me

when I know it’s not.

I see a door to open,

but it’s locked.

Connections help us feel alive,

alone on an island we cannot thrive –

a river with rocks cannot flow,

keep your connections aglow.

You’re gone when you’re here,

you’re here – but you’re gone.

Connect with me please.

Stay blessed and amazing,

Evana

I am the Quiet Thunder ~ Part Two

I am the quiet thunder,

You are the gentle breeze –

how can that not amaze us,

the things we do are keys –

Photo by Ylanite Koppens on Pexels.com

Keys to open before locked doors,

keys that free us from our shores –

shores we wait at,

shores we stay…

Photo by Bayu jefri on Pexels.com

These shores we’ll leave from

one sunny day.

God is with us like the sun’s sweet rays,

he’s more with us with steady praise,

steady praise and daily prayer

leads us to peace from cares.

Photo by stein egil liland on Pexels.com

True faith wipes fear away,

it’s meant to be shared every day.

We were all created to bless others

it’s our divine path and the right way:

way up or way down,

it’s always our choice

to smile or to frown,

which way is ours is easily found

in him who wears a crown.

God bless You,

Part III: Just a Woman passing through…

I’m just a woman passing through,

I feel real good ‘bout what I do –

It’s a feeling that can’t be bought

and a class that should be taught.

Doing good does good vibration,

no medicine, no alteration –

no credit card, no big vacation:

once you get tuned into the right station,

You can affect the entire nation!

It’s okay…

that I ran out of shower 🚿 gel,

oh, well,

I’ll use what we got, it’ll do –

after my shower I’ll still feel like new.

It’s okay…

I’m gonna smell like a man,

oh, well,

save money to throw in a can

of the neighboring music man.

It’s okay…

to have a lil’ less,

oh, well,

give others under stress,

know God’s with you in a mess,

you’re abundantly blessed. 🙌

When you realize you’re lighting up,

no longer you’ll be living in a cup,

this is your time of change –

it’s finally time to rearrange

in your life of utter strange.

Suddenly, all is clear

and forward

is the only way to steer!

Know that you are not alone –

alone, but yet together

we all depend on each other.

Rise from Hardships to Victory!

Inspire Positive Change!

Find Common Ground!

Rise, Shine and Share Your Light ✨

Don’t stop believing,

Evana.

Flowers 💐 n’ Sunshine ☀️…

Finally found what’s mine –

I wanna go to the flowers

and sunshine,

I love ❤️ to rhyme,

it’s not a crime

yet so divine,

No more need for cryin’…

I wanna be with the flowers

and sunshine:

All I have to do

is keep going,

keep doing

what I love doing –

no need for suing

those brewing

a different kind of blue-ing,

they don’t yet have

the same need of pursuing:

the greatest thing, the biggest joy:

Being a help to others renewing!

I wanna go…

to the flowers and sunshine,

can I ride a flying carpet,

or will my Jetpack do,

do I need a ticket

then just pick it?

I wanna go…

to the flowers and sunshine,

a place so divine,

which way do I go

to find more of my kind –

peeps that love ❤️ to share their shine ✨

I wanna stay with the flowers and sunshine.

Peace, Love & Kindness,

Evana.

Stay tuned for my next post “Be on Fiah till your Light goes out”…

Peace, Love and Kindness

Under Your Scars…

You’re not fooling me;

from under your scars,

we are not that far

from being all the same

what a shame –

Shame on you

for being blue,

blue has never looked good

on you.

Stop being a coward

using a crutch,

playing the victim

doesn’t do very much.

One thing I will say to you:

In this life

you are aboard a ship

of fools,

but newsflash hunny –

I sail my own canoe.

Face it don’t chase it,

you are running from yourself,

running away –

no one wins in shadowboxing,

not any time, not any day.

Stop being a coward

using a crutch,

playing the victim

doesn’t do very much.

Photo by Yaroslav Shuraev on Pexels.com

When the can is dented,

kick it from the inside.

Don’t hide but do confide,

life can be a bumpy ride –

think of peeps in your life

peeps you can trust.

And help each other,

raise one another up.

You don’t need to keep it in,

that will never work to win.

In this life we can only conquer together

in any and every weather,

that’s why we’re urged to divide

cuz then no one can be helped

and chaos won’t subside.

With one against each other

there can’t be peace with our brother,

this is something we all know

in our hearts and through our soul.

Peace, Love and Kindness,

Evana.

You Are Blessed –

Now Be a Blessing…

Start addressing

those around you stressing –

Stop expecting

and start accepting,

Life is messy.

Accept your life as it is:

a gift we’ve been given

to live and breathe –

we have our legacies to leave.

We are not in competition

in a game of life

our western ways aim to persuade.

It’s good to find your mission.

What are you leaving?

What will you be known for?

Is it really clear,

or haven’t you opened that door?

It’s not a race so give grace

you can slow down your pace

and keep a smile on your face –

that’s something that never goes to waste.

It’s easy to get swallowed

in the business of life –

so stop ✋ and be still,

for in stillness

you will find your light.

Remember to let go and forgive

in order to better live –

it will free what you’ve been holding,

and definitely be molding:

a better person, a brighter future

and the common good is nurtured.

Learn from within

and bless those around you,

it’s a win:

Peace In, Peace Out

and then without a doubt,

you can be free and shout:

“Take me as I am,

love me,

guide me,

I surrender all to you.

use me,

and I thank You

for all you do!”

Worship not War Ship

Good Fight not Battle

Build don’t Destroy

Pray not Prey

Turn Bitterness into Kindness

and Resentment into Compassion

and please 🙏 don’t ration

your compassion.

Together we can move mountains –

Divided we will fall.

Love, Peace and Kindness,

Evana.

…About my rad guitar and how I got it…

#blackstonesteel #foolsfait

What an Amazing Night!

Here I am with two bands at a New Years Eve bash with two smashing cool bands;

“Fools Fait” and “Blackstone Steel.”

Just a few days ago, my friend Denise told me about a really cool gig to go to for New Years Eve, it was way out in the country in the boonies. There would be two bands playing set to set. Immediately I was intrigued and knew this was something different and special that I did not want to miss.

Everything was there – it was like in a dream and I felt like floating on a cloud. There was a lot of room to sit near the food or closer to the bands, one could even watch from above, super cool! It was a lot of fun dancing and just taking it all in. With gobs of friendly people and a welcoming overall feel this was the place to be on New Years Eve for sure!

One highlight very special to me was to meet Rio Doyle up close and personal!!!

Once Fools Fait was finished playing their gig, we heard an announcement about buying raffle tickets. The big prize was a guitar, one that was hanging on the guitarist’s wall upstairs, right there in the barn. and after I hesitated for a while, I got up to buy 5. When I got up to the desk, I couldn’t see a line but then after someone moved, I asked a man standing nearby if he was in line. He said I could go first, he’s a gentlemen. I said “chivalry’s not dead, thanks so much.”

As the night went on it came time to announce the winner of an electric guitar and they called out the first number, oh, dang, I was one number off. But then no one came forward so they drew another one and someone went up but they didn’t have the number, so when they called the third number, it was the very middle number of my five tickets and I couldn’t even believe it!!! To be on the safe side, I kept them all together because I tend to be clumsy and who knows? Knowing me I could have dropped it on the way to the stage or maybe I didn’t read it right.

But YES, it’s true, it was ME!!! Yipeeee!!! I won. That guy came back that let me go ahead of me and said:”I bet you’re happy I let you go ahead of me!”

So that was the story of how I got my guitar, once the guitarist took the guitar off the wall, they commemorated it by signing it with the date and all of the band members of both bands too!

This is a story that doesn’t have to end, now this guitar has already been imagined by me as I wrote a song about a guitar. What it might be like to have one and its called “Me and My Guitar.”

Going forward I am planning to get some friends who are musicians together and perhaps “this is the beginning of something good,” as Daugherty said in a song.

Be blessed and thankful for blessings,

Evana.
