Turn The Light On

Turn the Light On
S. Ambrose, 2024

He said
I can't see the light
But don't have enough fight
In me to look for it. 
Treading dark waters day after day
Has left me with nothing to pray.
Is there a switch hidden somewhere within a stitch of my being?
What's blocking me from seeing -
My lighthouse?

She said
I can't see my light
But others around me shine bright.
Whatever shades the rays of my soul
Keeps me trapped in a deep, dark hole.
I'm too exhausted to look for the light switch in my being.
What's blocking me from seeing-
My lighthouse?

They said
We can't see our light, 
Don't know what's wrong or right.
In a culture of love, I'm blind. 
Just feel confusion that doesn't align
With creation's creativity.
What's blocking my me from seeing-
My lighthouse?

Truth says
Maybe you aren't electricity
Bur rather your intricacies
Were fashioned by a God who said, 
"Let there be light,
 I'll take your fight."
To see it, you must believe
The light's already been turned on
By the lighthouse keeper.
This keeper of the flame
Won't leave you the same
If you just say his name.
Jesus

Radiant Resilience

I move through the world like I carry a spark, a fire I wear on my sleeve. I’ll share my light for anyone brave enough to see it. I’m not afraid to show the raw parts of me, to throw my heart out there and let the world decide if they’ll catch it or turn away. But with that kind of openness, comes a need to guard my peace. I’ve learned the hard way that I can’t sell my soul. No price, no person, no compromise is worth that. Life? It’s a rhythm I’m still figuring out. Sometimes I catch the beat, other times I’m just trying to keep up, searching for where I fit in all this chaos. I often feel like I’m out of place surrounded by people with no soul or those too stuck to grow. So where do I belong? Not among the machines stuck on repeat. I don’t belong at a table with those who can’t see the beauty in creation, who can’t feel the magic of believing in something beyond mere survival. I’m somewhere in between looking for those who can hear the music over the noise. I’m at home with those w...

Hello, Sunshine!

-
 Go on random  adventures - they make good stories! Hello, Sunshine! Unexpected Light             In a world where you can be anything, be a ray of sunshine. If you authentically live life with raw, vulnerable vibration, then you’ll meet many versions of someone that feels like Sunshine. It’s a person who walks into your world so unexpectedly. Their presence wraps a peace and warmth around you that pushes you towards your full potential.             One  ray of s unshine and I met unexpectedly.  Art in human form walked into my world, smiled, and awakened a fire inside of me. My soul somersaulted when we met as if it had recognized a forever friend. The light felt familiar and an instant connection caught me off guard. Soul recognizes soul became more than a quote in a free-flowing season of gratitude. ~~~~~~~~~~ Nostalgia's light It was a nostalgic season. The pandemic...

Cobblestone Confetti

-
  Cobblestone Confetti                Each crackling step of cobblestone led me to a rusted town gate. Crunch, crunch. My feet swooped leaves as I admired the wall that stood giants above my head. It occurred to me that the night was too quiet, and the colorful autumn foliage scattered along the tropical seascape seemed out of place.             Confused by Mother Nature, I remembered last spring break.  I had spent a few days in this exact spot. Making memories with confetti ice cream in a waffle bowl and the strum of local bands became one of my favorite family adventures.             Today the tourists seemed quieter and less active among the medieval dungeons, pirate cruises, and haunted hayrides. I window shopped with my gaze set toward the sweet shop where confetti ice cream waited for me.    ...
