Rebirth

Written by: Anna Bryant

Pieces seem to fit together for the first time in what seems like ages. Forming your thoughts to a new idea. 

It is a dance, the artist has worked on restlessly to find balance to release the soul in expression.
A smile, the one you get the first time you achieve the dance in balance. 

A frozen moment. 

All the hours of work fade away.
All You feel  is the surge of amazement.
You hold that moment,
 remembering the rush, 
                                        savoring it. 

Tears of joy fill up and out, spilling over onto a page,      
      smearing the freshly recorded ink.

A new day has begun, changing what you have known to be life's dance before.
Bringing with it new steps to your rhythm,
     a new tempo,
                           new life.

Passion is reborn like an ember with a bright dancing flame.

Sands of the Journey

By: Anna Bryant I have become a wanderer in the parched lands of a desert.    When I began this journey through dunes of an unknown land.  I was filled with excitement and ambition, ready to take on the world. No doubts. Not even a single worry. Now I have miles behind me and an unknown number still lay ahead.  The sun, which had filled me with a sense of adventure before, has now just become a painful reminder.  Another day has come and I have yet to complete what I started. I look in every direction. Sand. Sand is my past, present, and future. My heart is heavier than the pack in which I carry. There are no walls around me and yet any step I take appears meaningless. I scream with all my might, but it is just me here, alone. The sound bounces off the thoughts within my head. “You will die, before you find your dreams.” “You are all dried up.” “You are nothing.” I fall to me knees, my body tensed by the invisible blows. I am broken

Rebuilding Heart

"I will build you up again, and you, Virgin Israel, will be rebuilt. Again you will take up your tambourines and go out to dance with the joyful." Jeremiah 31:4 To be built up again, one must be torn down at least once. When anyone is rebuilding a house, they have to make sure all damaged debris is pulled away before rebuilding. Just as a house,  when someone hurts us we must be allowed to rid our self of the debris of that damage. we can't hold onto the broken piece or it grows in bitterness, which will rot out the new structure we try to build. Everyone has been hurt at some point in their lives. The pain can be deep, sharp, and feel as though it may never be healed. We must let go the of the splintered shards of insults, broken trust, or unhealthy expectation. The splinters are getting under your fingernails, not the one who inflicted the pain, it can damage your life. When you are hurting you feel helpless, like you can't help anyone else, but it'

Ink Stains

Written By: Anna Bryant The ink of my pen touches the the page as the people touch my heart.  Some stab, others grace the page.  The color mix,                                 grow,                                              and change.  Blending creating an entirely new color.  The colors stir the pools of emotions in my soul.  Creating new life,                               new hopes,                                             new dreams.  Now for the bigger challenge,          To believe there is a stain in me. There are colors all around us in our life's story.                     We are all storytellers.  Shaping and molding the whole story as the ocean tides with many currents making something new. What mark will you leave?   Photo By: Denise Bryant
