Waterfall high on the mountain Releases her flow so beautiful The sound of the rushing water So intense, loud, roaring as it flows Over the mountain to a pool beneath Children play in the pool get cooled Under the waterfall that flows freely Natures fury and beauty mixed together Displaying the power of the sweeping Water and the calmness below semi still Come enjoy this beautiful sight Please read and obey the warnings Don’t try to walk on top of the fall For many have perished in doing so CDK 6-16-26

Through my eyes I have seen pain I have cried mountains of tears as rain Felt my heart breaking into As I’m sure so have you People live, people get sick they pass The pain stings, settles and seems to last I have seen great joy and happiness I have seen blessings and been blessed I have seen children lose their parents Their little heartbreak so real and apparent I have seen children gain parents Their sweet love and care inherent Many things I seen through my eyes I’m sure I will see much more as time flies.

I answered a question in another group just now, and this thought came about… Thought I’d bring it over here to discuss with all of you today. 🖤 The 💭 When thinking about inspiration, can a single line or word from another piece of art inspire you to create something completely new? Yes!!! Finding inspiration in someones art is a wonderful place to start. Honoring something that touched you and stayed with you can spark a whole new idea. Books, movies, art—I am always thinking about them and looking for ideas, different ways of viewing this world. When I find something that inspires me, I immediately write it down in my notes app or scribble it in a journal, then get back to it later when I have time to write. Sometimes those perspectives vibe from conversations, sometimes published work. And then… The endurance that carries you through writing your art can be found by pouring your own lived experiences into the story. Just like Paul Coelho showed us in his book The Alchemist. Your perspective is unique. Nobody has ever lived your exact life, and by drawing from those hard painful and lived experiences and feelings, we can create strong emotion in our stories. That emotion becomes relatable for the reader and memorable in your work. 🖤 What are your thoughts???

In the dark scary looms Nightmares and horror blooms Imagination open to flowers Tree limbs break, feeding fear towers Every little sound grows an echo Hearts race, eyes of red glow In darkness children get scared Their little tears roll their fears aired. Give them hugs and reassurance For you are their comfort and endurance Some children darkness is not lack of light Crowds, loud noises, strange places, things that Just don’t feel right It’s the inability to hear, fear of the unknown It’s people in their bubble, their personal zone Their little selves maybe only know to cry They don’t understand or even know why It’s a heart breaking scene to witness Their little hearts never asked for this mess When they are older they sit and cry They look at others and ask God why Why am I the way that I am? They say Why was it me this price I must pay God truthfully who could answer such For who on earth knows that much? I can’t take away their darkness or trouble I can love them, accept them, respect their bubble CDK 6-13-2026
