In the Midst of the Rain

rain-dropsBe awesomely changed in the pouring rain.

Kerri Elizabeth

In the pouring of the rain.

Waterfalls from heaven create change.

Hear your heartbeat explain.

Inviting the soul to interpret emotions.

Refining the language of an inner motion.

Listen deep within.

Trust the voice again.

Soar with joy and grace.

Let happiness be your space.

Allow the fire in your soul to be a flame.

Illuminate from gratitude not blame.

As the waves of life keep moving through.

Be centered in the truth inside you.

Let It Go




Do not be denied the depth you must feel to let it go.

Kerri Elizabeth

 

When tears flow and healing pushes you to grow.

Let it go.

When you want to scream releasing what’s held inside.

Let it go.

When your heart is calling you to move through and don’t hide.

Let it go.

When you resist the truth and live in fear.

Let it go.

When you know what to do and your hearts telling you to.

Let it go.

When someone needs you to be other than you.

Let it go.

When you feel the need to defend yourself.

Let it go.

When today is a new day and you want to play.

Let it go.

When your smile wants to own your face and your arms can embrace.

Let it go.

When standing up for you starts to change what is true.

Let it go.

When anger rises up and you’re anxiously ready to give up.

Let it go.

When it’s time to make a change and your choice is to remain.

Let it go.

When you want to be free from what’s holding you captive inside to see.

Let it go.

Let your light shine!

Let it go.

Let your smile shine through.

Let it go.

Let your voice be heard.

Let it go.

Let your radiance captivate the earth.

Let it go.

Let it all go until the layers peel away to your soul.

Let it go.

It is in the depth of her that love is revealed.

It is in the freedom to “BE” where growth is not concealed.

Do not deny love or pain, it is this depth where there is change.

Your Theme

a05ba68b1767af69e8847380b7d7f1cd_1476067918298

Every journey and adventure lends its embrace, be present in its place.

Kerri Elizabeth

Nature was the center piece.

Solitude invaded me.

Tranquility whispered you’re free.

Birds sang in the morning air.

Silence was truly silence there.

Adventure filled the days.

High impact rumbled through our veins.

Fishing and adrenaline couldn’t be tamed.

Chainsaws, fires and guns entertained.

Swimming for miles under the sun.

Conquering distance just for fun.

Laughter and passion were soul mates.

Summer breeze blew in my hair.

Juicing nutrition for energy to flare.

A new chapter is here now.

The ocean has replaced the lake somehow.

A new space of gratitude to partake in now.

Every journey lends an immeasurable embrace.

Don’t leave it without a “Hell ya”, in its place.

Where you have been is your story.

Where you go can be your dream.

Where you are is your theme.

Embracing Silence

When the absence of a presence leaves your space, be embraced by the safety of natures place!

Kerri Elizabeth

Sitting in silence with a view.

The sun is setting and tomorrow will be new.

The sky is pink and yellow and baby blue.

The ocean pours over the horizon ahead.

Darkness is seeking its place again.

Where his presence used to be.

There is now emptiness next to me.

God knew where to place me.

He knew I needed safety.

I wasn’t falling apart.

I was falling into a place to mend my heart.

I didn’t know what was in store.

I trusted in more.

He was clearly embracing me in nature’s design.

With everything beautiful complete and in line.

Sunshine is inevitable inside of me.

Today I am grateful just to be.

Before the Storm

The calmness before a storm writes a song , the joys and the sorrows of change give choice to sing or dance in the rain.

Kerri Elizabeth

 

A window seat looking over the ocean.

Music in the background in sync with the waves of the ocean.

The calmness before a storm existing.

Trees mostly still with an unwavering breeze flowing without resisting.

The raindrops are falling with a story to tell.

Some fall with grace and others work together never missing a single space.

As the sky becomes darker its replaced with a clarity of nature’s surround sound.

The night painting a picture on the canvas of hearts found.

Stillness and gratitude for what is around.

A storm is said to be coming and change will be profound.

Expect nature to dance.

Tomorrow another glance.

Tonight surrender to the voice of the wind.

The tunes in the rain creating a song to hear once again.

Sunshine is waiting in its place to shine through.

While the story of nature sings, you can dance to the rain too.

 

A New Day

MAY EVERYDAY BE A NEW DAY TO LOVE!

May today be a day his smile lights the way.

May today be a day he sees his puppy to play.

May today be a day he can get up and walk.

May today be a day we have another chance to talk.

May today be a day his hope continues to grow.

May today be a day of healing to know.

May today be filled with love and joy.

May today be a day he sees his wife’s face.

May today be a day he can rest in her embrace.

May today he receive my very best.

May today have no stress.

May today be still and his presence be at peace.

May today be a day his cancer will release.

May each day remind us that this very moment matters.

I am grateful I have been gifted a son that has truly been a light , love and life changer for me. He has taught me to be more compassionate, to love without a word because its action that counts. He has taught me strength is our individual perception and that presence is purposeful. He has taught me loving is often quiet and it hears more. He has shown me that being a mom does not mean your boss, it means you have a chance to grow if you choose to. He has shown me pain beyond what I thought I could comprehend and bare and for that hes paved the way for massive change.

The Expedition

20160829_124908

The expedition of life is the exploration of thought and emotion joined together by a willingness to see and feel more.

Kerri Elizabeth

 

The expedition of the rivers rapids rumble the earth.

The sun captivates nature’s worth.

The trees without a sound produce oxygen all around.

No display of limits in the wilderness are found.

Every thought has an opportunity to be filled through love.

The beauty of life is found where you decide what you’re made of.

Allow any thought unkind to dissolve in the winds of gratitude.

Love is in every latitude.

Let the exploration of emotions find peace as it goes.

Allowing growth and change through the ebbs and flows.

The answer to it all is where you stand and fall.

Sunshine through it all.

There You Are

20160817_171644.jpg

Get lost in nature and you’ll find yourself.

Grace

Were seen in the heat of the fire where intensity is felt.

In the adventure of the breeze flowing with ease.

In the spontaneity of where the pinecone re-seeds.

In the courage of the wilderness free to be.

In the river bends as the earth shifts direction again.

In the burned mountain tops carrying scars within.

Were seen in the forest floor growing where seeds have blown.

In the rivers flowing with their own tone.

In the tree stump where roots remain carrying past pain.

In the boulders that are earthly bound.

In the stars lighting up the heavens to the ground.

In the blue skies that reflect into the depth of our eyes.

Were seen in the birds singing lullabies.

In the ant climbing up a tree vertically to be free.

In the leaves that hold seasons of change.

In the sunshine that heals an emotional exchange.

Were seen in the diversity of the trees.

In the life adventuring the streams and the seas.

In the fierceness of nature’s storm.

In in the determination of the bear’s strength and form.

In the loving eyes of a deer’s stare.

In in the earth’s core where passion is bared.

In the flower that opens to the whisper of the morning light.

Were in the silence and solitude of the day and night.

 

 

Courage Replaced Fear

20160813_205645
Do not fear to pioneer, to venture down new paths to endeavor.

Ralph J Bunche

I asked him,”can you take me to the highest place?”

“What then,” his response, with a puzzled look on his face?”

“I will know when I get there,” I replied.

The feeling to go I couldn’t hide.

When we arrived at the mountain top.

I felt pulled to be on the ground and look up without a sound.

Suctioned to the earth,  I was covered by the heavens all around.

I sat up and looked in front of me and knew.

The mountain was holding a special view.

To some it may sound silly to hear, to me it was audibly and visually clear.

The mountains and the heavens are your gear.

Slide into the lake and conquer another fear.

I asked again,”can you take me to the lake to swim in the darkness of the night?”

With an expectant look he replied, “Yes, let’s do your bucket list right.”

The waters would signify all the tears through the years.

The moonlight would shine as nature pulls me near.

Grounded in earth, heaven and grace.

The moment delivered another embrace.

Swimming in the deep dark waters of the night was set.

My mountain man driving a boat to protect.

Each breath signified doing something new.

Accepting the challenge to be scared and move through.

To create love where misunderstandings appear.

To be strong where weakness fed on a reflection in the mirror.

To be aware where denial steals time.

To stand off the defensive line.

To strip it all down to the ground.

Letting go where you once were bound.
