If life is good, don’t just sit there — dance!
If life’s not so good — dance even more.

Regrets —
those ghosts
of action
that haunt
our thoughts

I need to get over the hard times of my past. They’ve left scars, but scars are just memories.

and those such things
just make stronger
our angel wings

P.S. Thank you to everyone who has written letting me know that Katya Elise Henry got a tattoo of this poem. Honestly, I didn’t know who she was and had to look it up. But that’s pretty cool, and a nice tattoo.
I swing like a kid
and fall like an adult;
cry tears of gratitude
and pray in smiles;
hug and love, and later
hide under the covers—
wildly and humbly living
from dawn to the stars,
and ever back again
—Terri Guillemets
we feel poetry and art
in the sensitive veins
that run through soul and
carry not blood but spirit
—Terri Guillemets
Breathe in so much gratitude that there’s no room for fear.

Anger makes your life — and your body —
