Lost in Seattle

Seems like all I do is travel
around, seeing Mother Nature unravel.
 
Journeyed to the Northwest,
    got caught in a mental battle,
      realized I was lost in Seattle.
 
                   Sweet July, Summertime.
 
No rain, just a big blue sky
    and sunshine
      from 5:30A to Nine.

Seeking mind;
    A kind soul said “there is no try,
      there just is!” She was right,
        such an awesome friend.

Gently reminded that life
    is about the choices
    and decisions
    we make.

The only constant
    in life is
      change.

Everything’s connected,
    yin and yang.
       I choose happiness
       over pain.

Like time, things also
    come and
      go.

The present and future
beautifully collide.

There’s no coincidence.
    Everything’s beautifully
      significant. Even You reading this,
        you are       pure magnificence.

                  Interestingly enough,
                   life’s best
                     medicine
                       is love.

Thank you, kind friend.
Seattle, a city I’m no longer lost in,
    a mental battle I’m unable to get caught in
    because I am all the way bought in.

Walked 8 miles
    with a huge smile
        on my
          face.
 
                               I saw a white butterfly.
 
Tend to see those often these days.
Things are supposed
    to be this
      way.

Summer wildflowers make for a perfect bouquet.

I just might stay
    here and
        play.

Stumbled upon a big lake,
    and sat on the bank.

Gazed at my reflection, and gave it a five.
Every day I am starting to feel more alive.

Came back the next day,
    to the see-through,
    crystal blue
        water.

Found the nickel I gave away
    from yesterday.

Saw some ducks swimming,
and wanted to tell them a secret.
Put my hand on my mouth to
call them over, then I was greeted.

Speechless they came, I hadn’t a clue,
    so I shared something about me
        that they already knew,
        and the ducks told me to:  

              “sit back, relax,
                 you are loved
                    and right on track.
                       Keep up the great work,
                          it’s all a part
                             of your
                                beautiful
                                   comeback.”

Those around me only heard a quack.
