Pink Ribbon
I put my thoughts in compartments, your’s labeled,”Pink’s Ribbons.”
Where we were free, no worries or cares. Just you & me- running, falling, barbecuing, writing rhymes, drinking Coronas, smoking, laughing, until we couldn’t breath. Always getting a free pass from jail or VIP stat for just being us. We were wild cards aka “Dueces Wild.” We never gave a shit of what others did or thought. We always lived in our bubble of no hopes or dreams- dirty jeans, boots and a Newport hanging off of our lips while we spoke & drove on a whim of recklessness. Time has been good to us. I’ve grown to live in the moment, as you, even if the moment means picking up a pen & remembering our past in drafts. No one really knew us, for I only showed the club and you the heart- though we freely loved life- never pressured the future or over thought the past. We just lived- and everyday that we do, it’s so worth it. I show traces of white hair, a few lines on the edge of my lips reminding me how I always laughed, even throughout the toughest struggles. Reminding myself that I am a believer of noncoincidence & we come across people & situations in life for reasons unknown at the time until you reflect. Some part of me died throughout the years. The world looks so different today-in a positive light. Where my dimension has excelled to a different place spiritually. Who knew that growing from within meant enlightenment. This is my sweet spot. The place that I wish more of us could find. As we always knew we are the chosen ones. Star children with gifts we hid not to sound crazy to the “norm”. Who could I have possibly wanted shared with most-those/these moments. Only we know how we reached the depth of destruction only to be reborn and rise from our ashes, as you have always been my lucky star. Yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever~11/11💖 We both equal 18- the number of Life & Abundance. The life we continue to decifer & cherish until the depths of the universe-and that’s how much I love you. Deep to the nebulas in the galaxies of the Milkyway, the Andromeda & to the Whirlpool Galaxy~I’m so blessed to have you next to me in our universe~sharing I can’t give you or thank you enough for just being you in my life~

The Fool
So she lived- she didn’t have a choice. It was a gift granted- although there were times in her life when she wanted to lay in the middle of the parkway or on her knees and pray.
It all depended on the day- the weather and the color of her lipstick.
Lately it’s been neutral – as everything she thought for 547 days never appealed-
She was duped for allowing someone in her heart…
“How” she asked herself- the promise to keep her wall up was broken at the sound of remorse -not from her lips but those of her distant lover- the one who saw prey and tried to ravage the Beast while she slept – She gave in. The truth was real. The honesty was from the heart but the storyline line and pity was one for the books, as she had never been that stupid to believe in someone else’s dream- Like- Who does that? The Fool!
Should have, would have and finally did with pain – not in her heart, but in her body. She walked away.
Her biggest fear is becoming cold- losing the innocence- not being able to find that place within her that makes her dance on the rainiest of days-
But she knew it was in her genetics – it was how she was bred.

Thank you for sharing such a strong and profound letter. At times I have felt foolish for chasing my dreams that no one seems to understand! I am learning to sit in silence and just adapt to the words that just come to my mind and resonates with what I am going through. Nature is also a good talker when we are super quiet and our minds are not…read more

Pipita
Rest in Peace Pipita
Like a precious bottle of Malbec~ from the vineyards of Argentina Vintage 1928.
Her hair is stunning red, roots deep brown with traces of white.
The lines on her face emphasized the years of laughter and tears. So many stories of the old Argentine neighborhood she speaks about~ I see these stories in her lines.
Her expressions are truth.Her hands remind me of an atlas map
Tracing veins like blue rivers with finely detailed “lunars” (known in English as beauty marks) properly positioned.
The jewelry she is adorned in brightly shines
Even after so many years without polish
Her gentle smile reminds me of her youth and vibrancy“I am not afraid” she recited to me once “When God calls for me, I will answer”
Her spirit makes life worth living.
Looking forward to old age.
With my heart and soul, I am a reflection of her.She is my GRAND-Mother.
Bendicion~ 🙏

I really admire the comparison between nature and your grandmother. By reading your poem I can feel that your grandmother was truly rooted and connected to her spiritual being! She is shining over you everyday, proud of how you are writing beautiful poetry about her presence on Earth. Thank you for your inspiration for others who are going through…read more

As a human being I am passionate about life and all living creatures. I don’t watch the news. It saddens me. Some wars we will never win, it’s the harsh realities of life. At the end of the day, we all stand for something. Being closed off from negativity that doesn’t serve a purpose for my soul is the way I protect my spirit. Many times it’s the way I cope with any hurt or adversity I face. My closest friends know this about me and never push.
We seem to know more about celebrities lives than we do about our planet, our family members and/or our neighbors. We seem to care more about the value of a dollar than we do about humanity as a whole- on the real, I love money. It smells so good, although I am beyond cognizant that the core importance in life cannot be bought. Not friendships, not a close knit family, not love, not loyalty, not time and certainly not life.
I don’t know if my “radio silent” copping mechanism is really the best way (for others) to get to a positive place, but it works for me. I know when I need a time out.
As we all go through struggles, learning curves and wins in life- remember your journey. It builds you, your character. I am not perfect -never portray myself to be, but one thing is for sure, I do my best to be a decent human being. Many times I fall short- many times I exceed my expectations. At the end of the day we all have a choice about how we want to live.
I hope that who ever reads this, takes time to self evaluate, recognize your manageable flaws, do things in life that you’ll never regret, find your peace and happiness, but most of all, I hope that if you ever see any type of injustice, don’t be an observer. Stand for what’s right, believe in something greater and it’s ok not to know what that is. Knowing takes work. It takes rewiring your brain to put yourself first in an effort to build your confidence, to balance out the good with the bad. It takes years of repetition to refine yourself to your personal satisfaction. We all are in this labyrinth together. Some of us will excel in life and some of us will be content with living at a comfortable pace. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s what you want. Don’t judge people for their short comings or errors, those are their lessons, at the same time be cautious of the company you keep.
Keep your heart open, no matter what you’ve been through, the truth is, love is the reward of living. You are your own composer. Be grateful, don’t take any thing for granted – one day you’re going too look back and realize those “failures” built your solid foundation. Don’t litter and don’t waste food. (Lol)
Forgive, love, live and don’t cut yourself short~ Yolo“You are the light- what you seek is fire”~

Sandra, It sounds like you are very self-aware and you care so much about the world and the people in it. Simply making the choice to be a good human, and every day do the best you can is quite admirable. Thank you for sharing this inspiring piece, and thank you for being part of The Unsealed. <3 Lauren

Dreaming Tree
I sat on concrete pavement asking the stars to show me a sign~
Snow flakes melted on my lips~
Opened eyes
I knew he heard my chime
The wind was speaking to me~
“Child ~always be kind”Visions of a natural divine- My Lord did hear my cries
I wanted to be held by thee
A force to teach me wise
My daddy a vague belief
My Father treats me kind
I fall in arms so thought to be something I long to knowPandora reassures herself at midnight in full moon’s glow
Heavy footsteps led a life in vain
Heartless memories draw so much shame
As only I smile to feed the dreaming tree
“Daddy come quick” so gone in memory
I begged and plead that very night God took heed in the stars so bright
Though disbelieved the sacred wind
To trail the roots that polluted kin
Begged salvation for I reached the depth
To discover the dreaming tree subsists
Nourish it with heart plus soul
Two sprinkles of dreams and three of gold
A dash immortality and one of boldThe dreaming tree lives, the relics unfold
Those who did not believe that night
Heard the winds had predicted a crest moon and rain
When evil lied in rhythms of naked branchesThe eclipse made the marked apologize in nodded shame
My dreaming tree had grown all this time
I knew,
I know,
I believe.I gave my all (so spent) as dear you are to me
The forecast called for a sunshine horizon
Out on the torrent sea
The dreaming tree survives in you
May your daddy be thoughts in knotted ribbons of blue
Your Father will provide for you at times of despair.
My dreaming tree blossoms
I smell spring in the air~Subscribe  or  log in to reply

I love the deep connection between yourself and nature that you share. I believe if we are willing to sit and listen to nature it speaks to us in many volumes. I really enjoyed the metaphors and imagery that you have written in this poem!

Spring, Not Sprung
Spring, not sprung.
People can look like they’re fine, but inside they’re crying.
Many are trying, too many dying, I’m flying on some parachute of prayers.
To the God’s who will listen. To the points of the cardinal directions.
I look up and no longer see Orion who has always been my protector.My hands fall short of magic. My generosity exceeds in deeds, grateful to bless, but somehow not enough to me. I know life is unalome, never even keel- my path made me stronger, wounds have healed.
Although the deeper I dive, the pain becomes real. I deal. I’ve observed on every level, inhaled, exhaled and weighed it on the scales. It tips. Balance is off-
When the whole world is upside down and right side up, I still live in my bubble. When I’m lost, I retreat. No white flag, no olive branch, no phone calls, just me- in the corner with a pen and paper, crying. For everyone I’ve lost, for everyone I’ve ever loved and had to walk away from, for everyone who bears the weight on their shoulders but wakes up and smiles at the world, I am you.Spring, but not sprung.
Let me feel the rain on my face as I know it waters the flowers that blossom in the spring.
I miss my family and friends who are in another realm. Let their energy protect mine. Allow me to shine like gold in a river on sunny day.
I need my magic or I am useless.
To the God’s~ Please protect us.

Thank you so much for sharing your poems and letters. I enjoy reading them. I really love adventuring your adoration to nature and how you compare yourself and the human emotions to nature. I always say Mother Nature never judges she keeps going and has several outlets to release her emotions. That is the same for us we have several creative…read more
