Growth takes a lifetime of strength through every season, don’t miss a drop of rain or a ray of sunshine.
~Kerri Elizabeth~
Whisper to me your journey to the sky Speak slowly so I can write them all Share with me every rain drop you’ve felt Every shiver in the storms As you stand protecting me Share with me every ring you earned at your core As you share, I’m listening To the winds shuffling your leaves The crackling among your branches The dew among the grass sharing precious reflections May nature always inspire in you growth Where God so creatively painted all the answers
Oh Momma, you are now free to fly and love at depths that cause no pain, see at lengths you never could and to feel grace under your beautiful new wings.
~Kerri-Elizabeth~
Oh momma
Greif holds no power to what I feel since you left this earth
Grief holds no candle to the feeling since my son went first
You know so well the feeling I could never escape
It seems you may have had that too
The tragedy of loss to so many I have loved so deeply
The closeness of my grandmother, the father that raised me
All gone too soon in tragic endings
Oh Mom I can never erase the years we didn’t talk
The pain you felt when you walked
I can never erase the heart breaks and the misunderstandings it took us so long to shake
I can’t erase the days you wanted to talk about life and never could
I can’t erase the differences that could easily hold “we should”
You losing your mom so early and me never knowing the pain that shook your world too early
As if it was a secret never to be revealed
A past never healed
A memory never shared
Or maybe a pain that never found its way into expressions or words
Or maybe your expressions where the pain
Maybe our differences where the words
Oh mom I feel like I will never know the depth of pain you really felt
But I can tell you I truly feel them all right now with no answer to my calls
Oh, am I calling the wrong line
Have I forgotten it is our hearts that will always be aligned
So many lessons are only learned when the line we always knew is no longer heard
I love you forever MOMMA, thank you for the many many many lessons I learned and all the health you instilled into me, for the nature calls, for the sunshine chasing, for the river dips and lake swims, for growing up where I thought I didn’t want to and now live to get back to it as often as possible.
Thank you Momma for all the research and all the times you followed my adventures on Onstar and told me where every waterfall and river was, where to go off grid but always only where you could still know I lived.
Thank you Mom for the times you could never share your truth with me, because now I search for you and look forward to you showing me in a way you felt you never could.
Thank you Mom for all I have learned and please help me in forgiving so much along my path so I can truly thrive and live.
Help me everyday to be a better mom and Nina(grandma) and teach me along the way!
Love, your only daughter, willing to jump into glaciers, run wild and naked in the woods, to love the deer and kiss the fish, love the daughter you taught to run barefoot in all climates and listen to music not TV, love your only daughter who loved every animal as my sibling, love me mom in all my faults, feisty stance and stubbornness you taught me so well, love me mom and my ways that are much like yours, just searching and looking for the deepest peace!!!!!
Within the clouds intension and focus are highlighted for your success.
~Kerri-Elizabeth~
Sometimes the seemingly hardest times offer the most pivotal changes
Hunger for the deepest truths drive an unrelentless anxiety to know more
Deeply falling apart coordinates with a rising again
Disappearing into sacrifice opens transformation
Change must persevere while ripples of time disappear
Explanation is not apparent
An inner peace is sacrificed to enter through the clouds
You must purely trust the navigation system studied
Rising above the clouds dances with pure intention
Focus can not be lost
It is within the cloud you will question your strengths
It is above the clouds you will be reminded of your strengths
Never to forget
Once you are above the clouds , you must return
Again you will question your strengths
Again you will be reminded who you are
Fall apart into who you are meant to be
The fall is part of the rising
The rising is part of the fall
The clouds are where intention and focus is planted
Sunshine
The clouds cover the chaos so intension and focus are all that matter. Often we think of clouds as a place we can’t focus.. when really it’s where focus becomes key.
Among the stars there are dreams that are actively living by the light of the moon , the warmth of the sun and held by the whispering breeze of infinite love!
When stillness awakens, it will be movement that creates your story!
~Kerri Elizabeth~
The wind searches for the grass and dances shamelessly
Awakening all stillness
Ripples upon the river speak volumes Canyons yearn for the echo of a voice Flowers are sprouting among the spring Blades of grass, yellow and green arise from the hills Sunshine widens every horizon with hope, showing nature’s beauty Nothing is missing , complete serenity exists Fulfillment is within the winds, flowers, the grass and the brisk breeze Language is within natures presence and existance is peaceful Majestic hills speak volumes while the river kisses every curve Trees with wisdom share a melody When at the top of the hill
Perspective shows you it is purely where you stand where love blooms
Within calmness is an untouched space waiting to be entered.
~Kerri-Elizabeth~
Selected random thoughts swirl within the chaos of your mind The rest waits, often Untouched and Un phased Others Return from a sprint of perseverance Challenge is always within Quiet reminiscent wonder rises above the fog Splendor will be released after the resistance we experience through change Joy will enter when the doors to sorrow have been opened completely It won’t be the sorrow that held you back It will be the unwillingness to open the door and walk through
