P4: Aunt Florie

Aunt Florie

February 2, 2017

I lived life

Compassionately and opinionated

Audaciously, I was liberated.

Truth be told I only wanted to live until the age of 45

I always thought that getting old was overrated

But I loved living life

Beautiful and vibrant

Foxy and neat

Always encouraged others to be the best

They could be

I was lively, smart and bold

I enjoyed my family, parties, and live shows

I had a lot of fun and I like to joke

The mantra "Live Life" is synonymous with my name Florie Reid

And just like the early birds

I loved to sing

Libations and celebrations

You enjoyed life with me

So mourn only a little

As I’m alright here

You’ve all provided me joy

For that I’ll hold dear

You no longer have to worry

I’m more than ok now

I’m never too far

Just look beyond the clouds

My life has not ended

It has just begun

My advice to you is live life

So you’ll have stories to tell

Because where I am is where you’ll come

Whenever you see a cat, say hello for me

Give my great, great grand kids a kiss

Remember me, as I will remember you

In my heart you are all missed.

So yesterday I'm on one of my favorite websites, "Cooking Light" and as I'm scrolling looking for recipes, I see this ad pop up. What do you know, it's me! I couldn't believe it. An ad from Reverbnation promoting me. This has never happened to me before. I'm so blessed. God is always using poetry to constantly change and add to my life.

Dreams " I took a break" part I

Hold fast to dreams
For dreams do die
If you not hold on as tight as you can
Forever you will cry

Feeling un-successful
Potential is just that
Pinnacle un-tapped
  and everyone around you notices that

Some of those that you've helped
Will talk behind your back
While others will be happier than you'll ever be
All because excuses sung from your lips
Like the favorite mantra to sing

Life will be life
There will always be something
You're supposed to expect it as you push
So that when surprises arise
  they affect you with nothing

You must, you must focus
Like zombies in trances
So you can beat the dark cloud
  and your eyes will no longer
Leak and speak of sadness

So what must you do? Seek your passion.
Never mind the obstacles in your way.
Thrash them.

Mind your lips. Quiet your tongue.
Sharing your dreams with others
No longer work for you
Thine will shall be done

Discipline, determination, drive, apply.
So the next time they see you
Your accomplishments should reek in the air
  and you'll find that your completion begets non-gossip
    and rolling of thee eyes

Envy and jealousy will merge
Because secretly they thought
You were all talk

But secretly you've snapped out of your procrastination
With excitement and great urge
With greatness as your destination

Now, their feeling some kind of way
  because you've peaked faster in six months
   than they have in one year

Maybe it's because they thought they had
  all the time in the world
While you thought you were running out of time, oh dear!

But they didn't know that you've been through so much
 that it just stifled you a bit.

This was really your pace before all of the tragedies happened.

Now, they realize, they were never on your level in the first place.
As you never left the top. You just took a break.

Until lt's Gone: Dreams...

I have aromatic wishes

Fragrant dreams of desire

My favorite flavors intertwined

Speak to my soul to become inspired

When I open the box of my

Dreams "Are Meant to be Lived" Oolong Tea

I let the smell escape to run free

Within my home

It invokes happiness

Spark ambition

As the essence of relaxation 

Continuously roam

While I sip and enjoy

the texture and the taste

of such a perfect blend

The infusion of;

Strawberries, peppermint

and who would've thought

Jasmine

Reeks in my senses

Reeks relentless

and leaves me 
to daydream

to chase dreams

Until it's gone.

~Until...
