Releasing Trauma from Knee
In the depths of sorrow's strain,
A knee beset by anguished pain,
I sought release, a healing balm,
To calm the storm, restore the calm.
I closed my eyes and turned within,
To find a way where peace begins,
Releasing pent-up tears and fears,
Embracing solace, wiping tears.
With every breath, I let it go,
The weight that burdened me below,
Unleashing hurt, emotions raw,
To make room for a brighter thaw.
Through gentle stretches, love and care,
I found a path to mend and repair,
Unshackling the knots that bind,
My knee and heart now intertwined.
With every movement, pain released,
A newfound strength, a sense of peace,
I danced and twirled, a joyful flight,
As pain transformed to pure delight.
Let go, my friend, release the strain,
From knee and heart, embrace the gain,
For in the act of setting free,
We find the power to simply be.

The Fighter
In the heart of a fighter, a determination is born,
Awakening each morning, with dreams to adorn,
Through battlefields of life, she marches alone,
Defying all odds, a force to be known.
With fists clenched tight, she steps into the ring,
Each blow absorbed, but never losing her sting,
For in her blood, courage courses deep,
A spirit unyielding, relentless and steep.
The Fighter bears scars, etched deep on her skin,
A testament of trials and battles she's been,
Yet she never surrenders or bows down to defeat,
Even when darkness engulfs, she finds light in the heat.
Through the storms of doubt, she stands tall and strong,
Defying the critics who tell her she's wrong,
With resilience as her armor, no foe can subside,
She's a warrior fierce, with a heart filled with pride.
As the champion of struggle, she fights for a cause,
Her spirit unbroken, despite scars and flaws,
She carries the hopes of the silenced and weak,
Inspiring others, with the battles she seeks.
But beyond the physical, her fight runs deep,
Against inner demons, she courageously leaps,
Conquering fears, with her unwavering might,
She transforms her darkness, into radiant light.
The Fighter, a symbol of resilience and grace,
The embodiment of strength, her place among space,
For in her heart, a warrior forever remains,
With each hurdle conquered, her spirit sustains.
So let us raise our voices and heed the call,
For the Fighter in us, united we stand tall,
Through battles of life, like champions, we'll rise,
With the Fighter's spirit, we'll never compromise.

Healing Rhythm of Ocean Waves
The healing rhythm of the waves,
I find my peace,
As the ocean drum whispers a
healing release.
Its gentle sound, like ocean's
breath, it soothes,
Guiding me on a journey of inner
truths.
With every beat, I'm transported
afar,
To sandy shores, where worries
are sparred.
The drum's soft echoes, like
seagulls' cries,
Carry me to where my spirit truly
flies.
In its rolling melody, I feel the
embrace,
Of water's touch, washing away
all trace,
Of pain and sorrow, that burdens
my soul,
Replacing them with serenity,
making me whole.
The ocean drum sings a healing
song,
As its waves of sound wash away
what's wrong.
I close my eyes, and let its
magic unfurl,
Calming my spirit, bringing
balance to my world.
And as the drum's rhythm fades
into the night,
I'm left with a sense of peace,
shining bright.
For in its melody, I've found
solace and grace,
Healing my heart, in this sacred
ocean space.
