Salutations. Well, my mind has had a lot of time to wander and make me wonder about the world around me. My mind has forced me sit and asked myself how is it that I live in a world that I choose to know so very little about? I repeat the same processes everyday and yet I am ignorant about a fulfilling life. So, I decided that something had to change. Everyday I allow myself to be fully aware of the people, places and things that exist outside of my own personal universe. I take a two-hour long walk through my neighborhood and i try not to take the same path everytime. I believe this would allow for a brand new experience everytime and thus far I haven't been disappointed. I have seen wonderful new flowers, baby animals and everything from a half-painted house to a random leaf prints that made faces. It is magical.

So I ask, how much of our existence is only what we have allowed it to be and how much of it is natural? How often do we take the time and appreciate what is out there beyond our personal space and universe?

If you dare, I ask that you allow your mind to be free enough to enjoy what is not your own, personal experience, but what can be an external experience that stands on its own and begs to be recognized...



Be Observant
by Lady Emerald

As a poet
We are influenced
By everyday events.
Things we see
Hear
Feel
Our entire human encounter
Is a poetic verse
Waiting to be
Written.
Our job;
To find the lyrics and
Sing them acapella, beacause
It’s not everyday the world arranges itself
In a poem.

To know the
Unknown
To see with
A third eye.
It is a tedious job
But someone has to know
It’s not everyday
The world arranges itself
Into a poem.

When it happens
There is an inner grin,
A childlike giggle
That emerges from within
A poet.
It is at that moment
We know that there
Is so much to be
Discovered
Cherished.
An ongoing story
Will be told
On this day.
Because
It’s not everyday the world
Arranges itself in to a poem.

Learn to take notice.

Another Introduction

This is a introductory post for those that have read this blog from the begining and for those that are logging in for the first time. I am Lady Emerald. I live in and through my heart and my heart is made of up what is dearest to me; family, friends and my words. I love the power that words posess. Words light a fire within me that I can only explain in a lengthy conversation over tea. With that said, it is important that you know i enjoy all that I can do with my words; talk, listen, read and dearest to me is writing.

So this is my best foot forward, my whole-hearted attempt to share what I love with those that are willing to give me a chance.

This is an excerpt taking from and poem that is currently under construction. All are welcomed to read, not read, comment or not comment. Bon appetite.


I WANT MY CHANCE- LADY EM

I want my chance to show what I can do,
without rule, doubt or negativity from you.

I want my chance at everything from happiness
to romance,
A great first impression, or a hard fought second
chance.

To do so I need to be free
Free to make good decisions
free to make bad choices

I need to let go of the wheel
and allow my instincts to guide my life.

I want my chance to be free to be me
regardless of triumph, success, or strife.

I want my chance
