This is an inspirational blog that utilizes the medium of poetry and creative writing to tell stories.
We're just now seeing the ball of glowing fire
The red light is bright but nothing like fluorescence.
It stings the eyes, it lights up the world,
It electrifies the soul, it burns out of control.
The shinning rays touching cold skin gives the weary
A renewed reason to hope.
And that’s why we stand at the cusp of a new day.
Love always, Esha

Cherish your loved ones while you can
Kiss their rosey checks
Hold their precious hand
Speak uplifting words in the hour tribulation
Pray with them
Let them know that you can sympathize
Show a warmth to express
That you understand
When the wind beats at their worn door
Stand beside them as a friend
The things that we forget we did
Mean something in the end
So cherish your loved ones while you can
Give them wild flowers
And provide them with hope
That a tired heart can comprehend
Because no one wants to be alone
When the hard days come
The good time Sally and John are cool
Until the lightening strikes
It’s those moments when you want a caring soul to check on you
And make sure you’re alright
Love always, Esha

Why is it so hard to say, I love you?
No matter the things we go through...
I still care.
And when you need a friend to be around.
I will do my best to be there.
No matter the cost.
I'll pay your fare.
Us together is the good time that keeps on giving.
The laugh that should've stopped but keeps on going.
Eyes slanted with tears of laughter and the grin of white teeth showing.
Gut busting, knee slapping chuckles ensue.
There is something awesome about being next to you.
Our moments make life a little sweeter.
No matter what kind of day I'm having...
Be like the flowers. The lilies of the field do not want for sun. Neither do they cry out for rain. Bending and swaying without the request of a cool breeze. Existing without bills. Doing as they please. They are taken care of. Be like the lilies that live with ease.
Love always, Esha <3
The hardest thing to is forgive. You may forget times and places but you always remember how someone made you feel. There is no hurt more painful than losing the hope for positive interactions. When people make us feel bad we internalize that pain. And many take it out on themselves. By believing that they are deserving of poor treatment and wicked words.
Some connections are so broken that communication became improbable. Beyond arguing and yelling there is nothing of value that can be shared between enemies unready to bury the hatchet. How do you let go of the disappointment caused by a relationship gone sour? How do you my move forward with a friend that betrayed your trust? How do you hit pause on the grievances initiated by family gossip?
But at the core of it all, you have to remember that moving on is the best remedy for healing. If you hold on too long... It's possible that you may go down with a sinking ship that's filled to the brim with emotional disdain. Swimming in sadness is the answer for many of us. I have seen people drink the bottle dry. Pop pills till their higher than the afternoon sky. Sniff coke till their noses turn red and they get the sniffles.
Though it alleviates the sting of discomfort. But this does little to remedy the loss of trust. Drugs and alcohol are unable to address the ache in the heart of man. That's why I stopped smoking. I found myself at the end of the blunt and wondered quietly, Why don't I feel better?
It's healthier to deal with life from a sober perspective because the world medicates emotional pain but that solves nothing. So cry your tears. Ask your questions? Read books, dance, sing and shout. Fall down, dust yourself off and figure it out. Because life ain't easy but giving up instead of overcoming distress is much harder.
It is my long held belief that forgiveness starts one step at a time. But it truly takes effect when you forgive yourself. Because the things we endure have a way of intensifying the way we see ourselves for better or for worse. That's why it's best to view yourself the way Jesus does. Or at least try too. His love is never ending. He is loyal beyond the stretch of the imagination. He leaves the 99 to go after the lost sheep and rejoices when it's found. Because He cares for us more than we could ever conceive. So if you think about it, forgiveness is necessary in order to love and live a fuller, happier life.
Love always, Esha

You give me hope beyond tomorrow
Pushing me to move past the trials of yesterday
You are the sunlight cutting through the storm
Shine on my day once again
And make my cold heart warm
Your love is sweet poetry to tuned out ears
Inch closer to me with all the kind words
My lonely heart has longed to hear
Hold me in your gentle palms
Bring me near
