The Power of Thoughts

The Power of Thoughts
20 November 2017

Thoughts are more powerful
than a thousand pound weight.
They can push and pull inside you,
change your focus from love to hate.
They can chain you down
to the bed where you rest.
They can definitely guilt you
for not being good, better, best.
They can contort the way
all faces appear,
especially the one
looking back from the mirror.
They can make you assume
the world would be best,
if you can just stop
breathing with the rest.
They can make you see
that darkness is better,
and there's no point at all
to be a goal-setter.
Don't fret! The solution
from all of this madness,
is just changing those thoughts
from pain to gladness.
You see, thoughts are more powerful
than a million pound weight.
They can lift you up higher
than this mortal state.
They can open your eyes
to a paradise of love,
filled with a light as bright
as the sun up above.
They can fill your heart
with the connection we share,
with nature, each other,
all things everywhere.
They can contort the pain
in everyone's faces,
to become a gratitude
of having been to those places.
They can remind us of
old pains and fears,
so we can be supportive
and help others shed tears.
Again, thoughts are more powerful
than anything you can imagine.
They actually control
the heaven or hell you're living in.
So I ask you today
to go into your mind.
alone or with help,
go deeply to find,
the motivation to change
your thoughts' point of view,
from pain, anger, sadness
or anything askew,
And turn it towards hope,
love, faith and peace,
and you will find in the end,
an Eternal release.

Frozen

W hy am I so scared to heal? Is it laziness? Is it fear? What am I scared of? Why don't I want to thrive, only survive? I have issues with isolation, laziness, distractions. How do I get out of this loop? I'm frozen, stalled. Procrastination and avoidance are my daily routines. Frozen 24 April 2022 Marie Slider Scared to heal, scared to live, Why is there no care that I give? Desire to run or walk away, But can't take a step to get out of my way. I'm frozen in a bubble of time, Completely surrounded by dust and grime. Cobwebs entangle my conscious mind, Body entangled by ropes that bind. Apathy threatens to take control, Darkening my beautiful soul. My light inside, it flickers and fades, Isolation cuts like sharpened blades. Fear of failure and fear of success, My brain and heart are completely a mess. Can't see a way out most of the days, My mind's labyrinth firmly betrays. Self-awareness, a strength to many who seek, For a person like m

My Squad of Angels

My Squad of Angels 29 December 2017 They're not that far away; all those who passed before. They're waiting for my arrival just behind this mortal door. They're watching and guiding prayerfully in that space that's just beyond. They're in the creases of my heart; a place they're very fond. They're floating through my memories, to help sort out my past. They want me to find happiness, but their flag is at half mast. They do this to help me bear the weight of struggles along the way.  They want to give their strength to me during every painful day. They wait beyond my consciousness, their warmth they want to share; Sometimes I feel it blowing in the wind that moves my hair. I see them in a stranger's face as a flicker or a feeling. Sometimes the similarities scare me through the ceiling. I wonder if that person may be sent from one who passed, Or if a chance connection is a hook my loved ones

Confined

I started writing this, and I was fighting with the idea to post it, because I’m still working on the strength to continue on this journey of healing, after a little bump in the road. Then as I was reading the Bible, a certain verse was brought to my attention, and again I was prompted that I needed to share this. I’m not sure who this is for, please, just know that God loves you, and the wisdom I have, is that God is watching out for all of us, and He will give us the strength to get through pain, and help others. KJV Ecclesiastes 9:18 “Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroyeth much good.” Confined 22 February 2018 The simple thought to run, goes trailing through my mind, At a million miles per hour, it almost makes me blind. The idea that somehow I should have escaped; The mental confusion, why do I feel raped? That person never laid a finger on me. The fear, nevertheless, was complete reality. Feeling lost, torn, and broken, my
