Expression: A Collection of Poetry and Thoughts

by Denise Reese-Shaw

Ex·pres· to make your thoughts and feelings known. How does one express themselves? Do they smile? Laugh? Cry? Maybe music is the way. Or poetry. Life is a series of expressions. Every day thought, feeling, and action emerge and converge in the act of existence. Being. We express and through expression we are expressed. This book is an expression, of all there is and the potential for more. More peace, more love, and more understanding within oneself. Hope, growth, and release. The duality between what is expected and what is not, that makes up an individual. Innocence and sass and everything in between. This is Expression.... Dreaming of It I wake from a dream Where I wished to sit in the quiet and the still of the day. To take a breath, taste the air Feel the sun gently heat my skin. And I shift in that sunlight Unrelenting and true. Always honest with me, the sunlight. And the air and the quiet day. I look for it in the moments of disquiet and disillusionment; I welcome that balance, Sometimes I wish it were everlasting. Always equal. Life and truth. Happiness and pain. But then where would we be? Dreaming about unbalance. Hoping for smudges out of place and disarray. We’d destroy a perfect world for being perfect. I woke from a dream of still and quiet, I had my serenity. Now I must pay the price. But only a little. It was only a dream. But I hope we all have it one day The quiet dream of peace and serenity realized. I hope we don’t have to pay for it with disharmony. Balance. Want more?
