Blue

On July 3, 2025 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry91 Comments

Blue sky whispers words of tranquility
Each syllable falls like a leaf in autumn
Open your hands to the wisdom,
cold-shoulder the noise whirling around,
causing a bottleneck of worry
Let the sun’s rays seep into your soul
flowing gently on its journey,
pulling you from edges of despair
Let the warmth calm the chill
that strives to take possession

If your heart is broken,
take time in picking up the pieces
just tap into the strength deep inside –
the jagged edges are dull to your skin,
you’ve been cut before so now you’re tough,
the sight of red doesn’t shock you into paralysis

Each fragment tells your story,
and you matter
The pieces in all their
perfect imperfection
will fit perfectly again

Remember to follow the blue
keep your eyes looking upward
because the blue holds hope,
and moving forward is impossible
without even a glimmer…

A slight glimmer…

Remember, the breeze carries
burdens down rivers
and across oceans,
majestic trees sway with joy,
sheltering from shadows,
and the light shines even if only
a slight glimmer slips through...

Keep hope in your heart and enjoy your weekend! ❤️

This verse is from a poem in my upcoming book.

It’s the Pits

You open the door
and again, once more
You smell that smell
that comes from hell

Though you pay the price
beneath the stars and sky
So you do your thing
and you feel like a king

Then you open the door
and again, once more
You breathe in the pines
and everything is fine

(Let’s just say, inspiration
comes from many places.)

Canvas in the Sky

On September 25, 2015 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Photos, Poetry33 Comments

The night is warm
Though fall is upon us
Summer’s not willing to go
I’m in awe of the bright sky
With its oranges and pinks
Its beauty is all aglow

Two nights ago, the sunset was
incredible, so I grabbed my cell
and snapped some photos. The dot
in this photo is the beautiful moon,
not the best shot using a cell,
though, still brilliant, and the phase
for 9/23/15 was “waxing gibbous”
with 73% visibility.

I hope you enjoyed this splash of color
and the moon facts I found interesting, too.
Wishing you a wonderful Friday and weekend! ♥
