When the tide is right –

when the tide is wrong

don’t wait too long,

no one is You,

that’s your superpower too –

keep pulling through

waiting won’t improve you.

While the tide is wrong

stay strong –

and think of the ocean song.

Don’t wait for your ship

to come in, just swim!

No matter what you’re going through:

“Damn those torpedo’s, full speed ahead!”

Don’t let your mind tell you otherwise,

don’t leave your unique story unread.

Have a bad day –

start now

feel tired, bad or sick,

better be quick –

thoughts and body

push aside:

this is your ride,

this is your time.

High above flies the dove,

seek the things that are of love –

scout it out even during drought,

without a doubt you will grow a sprout.

At any age, any stage –

begin to engage

you will be freed

of your own cage.

Be the change

you want to see,

it can help you feel

more free,

always find a way

to see more positivity!

Remember to question:

“Will this

(what I dream to do),

contribute

to the greater good?”

then find a way to pursue!

direct your attention and

lessen the “could and should.”

“The purpose of life

is a purposeful life,

we only get what we give,

let’s not waste time in strife!”

Rid yourselves of thoughts

that weigh heavy on your mind,

that’s the only way

you’ll be free to fly!

Be forgiving, let things go,

this is the best way

to grow.

The grass is greener

where you water it

so don’t sit

and go for it!

Take your horse by the reins,

blood runs through our veins –

stick to your plan,

keep up, show up –

you can!

The tide is below,

the dove is above. 

the grass is where we land our feet

and the horse gives us strength to compete.

Count me in…

Count me in

take me for a spin,

take me through the rain

on a midnight train.

Count me in,

I’m ready to win

in this world of sin

it’s time to light my flame.

Burning in me

are my deepest desires,

they’re not just small fires.

Gimme a shake

right through my break

how much can one take,

before needing a lake?

A lake, some woods,

furry friends –

away from “should’s”

Burning in me

are my deepest desires,

they’re not just small fires.

Count me in.

One ☝️ is to begin,

two create a stronger win,

together we can build bridges

and take out our wounds’ stitches.

Go through your closet of pain

see what you find lurking,

what’s keeping you from gain

and what is and isn’t working.

All of us carry some past along 

of where we started and came from,

unpack the baggage with us that stayed,

unravel the problems left in the shade.

rearrange and overcome,

it’s then you’ll see more light of the sun.

After some self-learning,

your wheels will begin turning.

A new path will be cleared,

the new you won’t be yearning,

instead, my dear:

you’ll be doing what you’re meant to do

and break through to the brand-new YOU.

“Beauty begins

the moment

you decide

to be

yourself.”

Waves of the ocean,

wind in the trees –

how peaceful it is

just to be.

Waves of the ocean,

wind in the trees –

every new day is

for us to see.

We can be of the sea –

nature is free,

but needs us indeed!

This earth of open space

is ours of the human race –

ours to share:

our turn to care,

this is where we live –

our place.

The less we have

the more we grow

in wisdom, learning,

teach and know.

What’s priceless in worth

and more precious than gold –

is a kind heart

and a grateful soul.

Waves of the ocean,

wind in the trees –

every new day is

for us to see.

It’s time to find our unity.

we’re losing our immunities

in our communities 

of equal opportunities.

Think about the eagle 🦅 high,

so small are we so short our lives:

as dust we come, as dust we go –

what happens now is ours to show.

Waves of the ocean,

wind in the trees –

every new day is

for us to see.

What are we leaving our children here?

a legacy to carry for those held dear?

let’s not lose face –

are we but falling from grace?

in our case we need to leave a good space:

A good spot to trot,

a good place to roam

no need to stay on our phones,

no need to surf the web,

play endless games –

or scroll into oblivion

of all the same.

Waves of the ocean,

wind in the trees –

every new day is

for us to see.

Our worlds have zombies plentiful,

the streets are bare and no one near

as all the networks jam packed full

of people’s lost in lonely worlds.

Expressionless faces on this earth

looking down instead of up –

where are they finding worth,

empty always their cup;

onto a screen instead of the sky,

pulled into one level after another

as one only sees this way their brother.

Can’t you see the stars above?

Down below’s the oceanfloor.

Seek another for their face

to hear their words 

and warm embrace…

Waves of the ocean,

wind in the trees –

every new day is

for us to see.

Health is an indispensable wealth,

Time cannot be put on a shelf,

Change is in a flux beheld.

Loved ones and true friends excel

when love and care is not withheld

and one is compelled

to keep the connections alive

outside of oneself.

Moments shared and memories made,

these are the things you cannot trade.

Waves of the ocean,

wind in the trees –

all things have a way

to flow down the river

each day.

Waves of the ocean,

wind in the trees –

Health, Time and Change

some great giants to battle

the answers lie in themselves –

they surely always rattle

people’s minds, spirits and souls

no matter the amount of bankrolls.

Since in time, change always will be

health we can be grateful for

each day to breathe,

the greatest strength that’s found within

is to stay close to God and share with him

give him our thoughts, fears,

struggles and needs –

surrender all to him indeed!

Find forgiveness in your heart

and always do your part,

it’s the best way to start –

put the horse before the cart.

Blessings from our family to yours,

Evana.

Ideas come from the creative mind,

a creative mind can hold a shine

when a spirits soul has found their kind.

Time spent with growing sparks into fire

helps begin the journey towards your deepest desire,

no longer in time will the years pass you by.

With no where to go it dies –

and no one will know as time flies.

Sparks in the sky

way up high

are waiting for us

not to be shy.

Sparks in the sky

see us cry

in our minds eye

and stand by.

Sparks in the sky asking us why

many of us sigh and die

before we try?

Sparks in the sky

can’t pacify

the burning flame inside

that the body occupies.

Sparks in the sky

need us to simplify

demystify to beautify

our life’s own eye.

Sparks in the sky

are sparks nearby

as we find our air supply

we are not yet to die

when doves cry.

Sparks in the sky

are like butterflies

catch it before it passes by,

a shame to waste are creative minds.

Harness the sparks you feel –

write them down to make them real.

Don’t let more time pass,

you have a legacy to make last.

Be kind and let yourself shine,

let your sparkle unwind –

get up and chase the signs

go after all the calls you left behind.

Think of all connections as magic dust,

let the ball of yarn untangle,

sometimes we’re not meant to know –

but we all have stars to follow

that glow.

Rise, Shine and Share Your Light,

Evana.

Kept a plaid shirt in the closet

for the lucky one –

kept a plaid shirt in my closet.

I imagined one for fun,

it helped my mind a ton.

No longer had to run

this one no one could shun

he was a loved one but none

the secret son –

it felt great to have someone.

Kept a plaid shirt in the closet

for the lucky one –

kept a plaid shirt in the closet.

He listened, he cared

with him I wasn’t scared.

Could tell him everything

and he loved me just the same.

Yet my secret brother had no name,

having him around was never lame,

he’d help me get to a better mind frame.

Hanging on the rod

always had my back

he’d never lose track

love he never lacked.

He was there when Dad was not,

he was there when my aunt was lost:

he was there in the rain, sun and frost

my imaginary brother.

Before you, I had my suitcase packed,

was lost on the track

and confused how to get back.

It made sense to start to pretend

Couldn’t comprehend

even myself what I intended:

less stuck and more real,

more on the move

until I found my groove,

and when I pretended –

there was You.

As our layers of life peel away

may we always keep in mind:

for us to shine

it helps to focus on the vine

the great parts divine –

after all the bad mad and sad

it’s always good to reset and restart

the battles are of the whole a part –

they help us become stronger each time

and edge closer to our goals in line.

All too often we judge ourselves as if committed crimes,

it’s good to learn from the hardships yet to be kind

to oneself and others – it doesn’t cost a dime.

In fact it creates the greatest shift

within the fabric of humanity,

let it shine!

Give yourself and others grace

Focus on your blessings

so you’ll be less stressing

your troubles will be lighter for confessing.

As we expose each layer of ourselves,

we can continue to grow our artistry 

for beautiful parts of us to be born anew:

without stepping on any toes

keep planting seeds in even rows,

the hardest part is the effort you put in

that always turns into an all over win

I love to write it makes us all kin:

Begin again every day like a rose 🌹.

Blessings and Love,

Evana.

Go to or go from?

A question that questions a TON

going places to travel

helps unravel

some things

in our heads

being run.

What is it we’re really after,

does it matter if it’s just the next chapter?

Or maybe all we need is a lot more laughter!

“Go back to where you came from,”

is heard from many, many a sun –

not needed is to shun

a person of the son.

Sometimes it’s much better

to walk rather than run

and sometimes better

to go then to come.

“For here, or to go?“

That’s another question

we hear and know –

I think we’d all love

to stay awhile though.

Stay here my dear,

isn’t it clear

we should savor our time

not feel guilt

as if committed a crime.

“Should I stay

or should I go?”

another ☝️ one of those

we know

Am I ready for the show?

Be blessed a million fold,

remember you’re never to old

to do the things you truly love

keep doing that and you’ll surely find

that heaven is not so far away

– a heaven for us can be every day,

as long as we still have breath inside,

there’s no need to hide,

no need to be shy

it’s finally time:

Give it a try!

Rise, Shine and

Share your light,

Evana.

🌺🌊🌴

Color me kind

yet fiercely bold.

Sometimes kind

is hard to find:

it’s those who

let their mind shine –

those who listen,

those who love –

think for themselves

know God above.

We are not meant

to be shoved

somewhere in a box

unloved.

We all deserve kindness

not bully’s control –

it acts as balm to our soul.

Take a lil’ time

take a lil’ time

right now –

allow

time.

Time to reflect,

time to connect,

time to live,

laugh and give.

Time to listen,

time to understand,

time to question:

Is your view outta hand?

Breathe in the good,

let out the bad –

this life’s a waste

if spent being mad –

as some of us know

begins with sad.

Time to travel within yourself,

this will help your mental health.

No more putting on your shelf

the life you deserve is waiting:

go ahead and find it

and let the earth start shaking

because you will be groundbreaking

there’s no mistaking –

You will make it big no need faking

naturally you’ll be wealth raking.

There are no limits to what you can do –

just close your eyes and see it through.

This life is really ours to sculpt

the more you do self’s work,

the more your life shifts to

the most amazing result:

each tiny change to the good

makes new

join each good thing to another

without leaving space,

happy will show up on your face

and the frown erased

you will then live with grace.

Start within,

it’s always a win.

Love & Blessings,

Evana.
