This is an inspirational blog that utilizes the medium of poetry and creative writing to tell stories.
We don't need to look for love
Running in circles for a connection that's already there
Chasing down relationship
When Jesus always cared
Looking to experience temporary feelings
When you need something to last an eternity
Cheeks previously stained by tears
Seek soft kisses that rarely stay
Tender for a moment
Only to go away
We all need a love that will last forever
And always
Till Next Time, Esha

Outside
don't want to be outside in the winter time
The roof is solid
The heated water is on
The walls know many secrets
But tell no tales
The frost is ice cold
The chill is beautiful
As it changes the warm air to fog
Still I stoke the fire by throwing logs

The feeling dissipates
But I still remember the warmth
I still crave the moment
Looking for the next opportunity
Safe from harm
To be well thought of
And loved in return
Yearning and turning in desolate places
Aching to see and experience friendly faces
Hopefully a day will arrive
And I will be held in an embrace
That makes my lonely years fade away
The feeling dissipates
But I still remember the warmth
I still crave the moment
Choosing isolation
And silent discretion over having a hand to hold
But as of late...
People seek to inspire
For financial gain
With no desire to help people that have lost everything
The truth spreads like wildfire
Like a sore that wasn't treated
Or a friendship
Gone bad
People search the closest inspiration
They can grab
Rarely questioning the sender
And poor intent
But surviving off fake cures should never pay the rent
A couple days go by and the quick money
Is past the point of spent
Self help, motivational speech and guru's
Linked up with the who's who
Fail to address the problem
And churches devoid of pay per view miracles
For something that will feed the soul

He’s missing again
NO calls
NO text
Only emptiness
Hangs in the void
He’s been MIA
Since he was a little boy
Days turned to nights
And nights turned to days
Weeks at a time combined into months
Months turned into years
Sometimes, I would look for him
In the highways and byways
Of cities to big for me to search alone
Leaving the comfort of my bed
To bring my long lost sibling back home
Even after all these years…
I’ll still look for you
Walking through mud, hiding behind staircases
Checking bus stops that never end,
Newspaper articles and old friends
And when looking is not enough…
I cling to the only safety I know
I’ll pray for your safe return
Holding a Bible with torn pages in shaking hands
Hoping for a miracle in no man’s land
Knowing in my fluttering heart that I’ll see you again
Love always, Esha

Bright green grass bends with ease and grace
Latching on to the qualms of the day
Swaying with the embrace of the wind
Cool desires drench happy blades with ease
The brown, hard soil cracks underfoot
Meanwhile, aged, off-white feathers grip the open air
Catching the warmth of endless sunlight
Boundaries of earth melt away here
Let the blue sky spread out before you
Scale the height of it
Take in the baby blue majesty
Live in the moment
Shape your body effortlessly to flow in it
Feel the passive breath lifting you higher and higher
Now is the beginning of a new tomorrow
Live for today
Plan for the future you are unable to see
Be eager in flight
Sailing and soaring to unseen destinations
In territories that curious souls dare to know
Faith will take you to places
That fear never will
Love always, Esha

Peace, ease, laughter and hope
The beautiful of the moment
And the time to cope
Surrounded and wrapped in dreams
That knows no bounds
Prayers sent to heaven
From quivering lips, dripping in hope
And answered with love
For once to know my tears, struggles and triumph
Are well thought of
I was fashioned and designed for a special reason
While I thought Jesus didn't care about my pain...
He was just waiting for me
To enter the right season
Love always, Esha
Start over, fix things that are out of place, correct the things that left you broken. Pencils have erasers for a reason. Don't be afraid to use them. Love always, Esha

Hope is the seed planted that grew into a tree that few expected to blossom. But now it provides fruit and comfort to all those who need a safe space to unwind.
Love always, Esha
Take the time to put the work in. People may not see it. Those who do may not respect it. But in the end your blood, sweat and tears will pay off. Because hard work is its own reward and the skills you cultivate from perfecting your craft will mean more than an easy road to success. The beautiful of life is in the journey. Enjoy the small victories.
Love always, Esha

I keep it close to my chest
Holding onto it like a newborn child
Maintaining it's importance in my life
Praying and meditating on it
Believing with the faith that grows in my bosom
Understanding that the living word is a well
That never goes dry
Love always, Esha <3
Sorry I've been gone for awhile
I've been working, praying, staying focused
Driving quickly to the next place
Getting over the traumas of yesterday
While utilizing every second that leads to a new tomorrow
Preparing for the unseen blessings
And challenges that set my heart ablaze
Building the bricks of contentment one row at a time
While fighting for a day and a moment that is truly mine
Love always, Esha

My head hurts
It pounds like a jackhammer at a construction site
Sore temples throb and keep me awake throughout the night
Alieve provides no relief
Tylenol has failed to help my ache
The pressure mounts
And my pulse quickens
As my light sensitivity increases
But I smile still
