Happy 8 months to Anomalous Darlings and a huge thanks for all the continued support…it means the world!
In addition to journaling, blogging and various other styles of writing I find myself doing, I also write poetry. I got the love and gift of poetry from my mother and over the years, I have adopted it as my own muse. Up until now, I haven’t felt compelled to share my poetry. But, with God as you probably know, there always seems to be a first time for everything!
It’s Your Choice To Stay is what I call the two sister poems, Your Choice To Stay & Cycles, that were written almost a year apart, but feed off of each other.

Your Choice to Stay
It’s your choice to stay
And act like everything is okay
Life can only deal the cards
But you, you
Have the final part to play
In cultivating your destiny
It’s your choice to stay
And live like you have nothing to say
Situations may leave you numb
But you, you
Are equipped to overcome
And see the beauty of the sun
It’s your choice to stay
And pretend like life has you binded in a blinded daze
Complacency and measly satisfactory can slowly creep in
But you, you
Have a Divine Power living within
That completely breaks the chain of them
It’s your choice to stay
So when the time comes
What will you say?
To stay or to leave
It’s your choice to stay

Cycles
They go round and round
Round and round
Taking you high
And then throwing you down
You get up and say, “Never again”
Only to later find out
There is no end
Yes
No end for the faint in heart
Or those who see life as quick darts
But there is a way
For those who truly want to be free
Those who realize that freedom comes day by day
Like The Heavenly Potter who carefully and consciously crafts His clay
Cycles
They go round and round
Round and round
Taking you high
And then throwing you down
But at noon’s day
The cycle only continues
If you choose to stay…
…
Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you, the spacing for Cycles is off, so I apologize! Hopefully, you were able to enjoy and understand the poems. And since I believe that a) God speaks to us as individuals and b) there is never a right or wrong interpretation of poetry, I am going to leave your own personal analysis!
Until Thursday,
