Another year

by Chevvy, posted in Poetry

The carousel has turned

Full circle once more

The scenery has changed

The flowers now rearranged

Some petals have scattered

Lost carelessly in the  wind

But here is another season

To sow and harvest again

Like fine wine, it was a very good year

But the very best, can cost you dear

So I’m searching new favorite blends

Need to catch up on the  latest trends

Time has come to recant and decant

So I raise my glass to another great year

I can smell the fresh fragrance in the air

I feel the breeze as it blows through my hair

And if I should stumble in the midst of it all

I believe that you’ll be there to break my fall

Boxes and cages

by Chevvy, posted in Poetry

Little girl take care

Don’t let the world tie you down

Shelve you in a box

Throw open those doors

Wake up from those vivid dreams

Make them come alive

You were born with wings

Spread them out- take to the sky

You were born to fly

Step out of the box

That will confine how you think–

Limit your world view

Beware of the cage

That barricades your thoughts with bars

Of doubts and fears

Find the pearls within

Shake off the grey shells of doom

You were born to bloom

Hoist out of your own petard…
