"Endure"

It's Monday morning and welcome back to another week of Jus Sayn. 


     As beautiful as life is, it seems that a monkey wrench is thrown at the most inopportune times.  Options are becoming fewer but needs continue to increase.  Editing plans, budgets and lifestyles.  Talks of war, economic instability leaves us socially unsure...Much needed solutions as we brace to stay afloat and endure....Jus Sayn!!!   By Dionna Ophelia

"Endurance"

By Dionna Ophelia (copywritten & published)

 

 

 

I seek endurance when the shadows of death is cast upon me

When my image is tainted by chants of mockery.

 

Endurance from temptation when trying to sustain

When the loss of love ones harbors pain.

 

Endurance from words that hurt suffocates my heart

From silent cries that lingers alone in the dark.

 

Endurance to bear the eyes of evil that stare

And when I'm taken for granted yet continue to care.

 

Endurance to relentess stones thrown in my face

When my mind desperately seeks a resting place.

 

Endurance to forgive beyond unspeakable acts

When love replaces betrayal despite the fact.

 

Endurance when the bonds of love are somehow broken

Or deceptive rumors are spread by crude words spoken.

 

When the voice of failure echoes and I lack assurance

Embed deep within me strength for Endurance.

 

"Conversations"

Greetings on this Friday's segment of Jus Sayn!  Wish you a great day and do something for yourself this weekend.

'Conversations'

By Dionna Ophelia

     I've come across a great deal of interesting people, sometimes having nothing but a conversation in common.  I'm telling you, you'd be surprise of the fascinating things you find out....about people and some of their experiences, places near and far, animals, health, food and entertainment and the list goes on and on.  Even the youth has entertained and taught me a lot, chuckling at some of their perceptions.  Listening to the imagery of their world, it's refreshing to see how inquisitive they are about life.  I never want to dim the brightness of their minds by the lack of conversations needed daily.

     While grocery shopping this morning, a fair-skinned, very nice older lady stood beside me picking up some lunch meat.  She said to me, "This taste very good and it doesn't have nitrates in it........"  She told how she shares this information with her clients.  So I asked her about nitrates while retrieving her business card and once I got home did my own homework. (That's another story)

     Like so many previous conversations and the one this morning, I love to engage in pleasant and distinct conversations.  I guess that's why I have a hidden passion for doing interviews.  I picture a place set up where we can comfortably sit and chat about any and every thing.....Jus Sayn!!!

                                                         

                        

"In my Eyes"

By Dionna Ophelia (copywritten & published)

 

 

In my eyes all colors will reflect

All walks of this economic intellect.

 

The youngest of years to the oldest

The fairness of skin to the boldest.

 

My nature connects with many souls

Any means to spread love when it's cold.

 

For in my eyes when I see you....I see me

That beam of light that won't demise

Forever to be.

"Another Day"

Well it's Thursday and I've had a pretty nice day so far.  As you join in today on Jus Sayn I'll speak a little on friendships.


     You know.....from time to time we bump heads with those in our lives, going about days and even weeks in without speaking.  Pretending as if we don't care when it's the total opposite.  Wishing and waiting for the other person to break the ice as precious time and what-could-be monumental moments wither away.  If there's value in a friendship why allow petty issues to smother it?  It's arduous to come by genuine friendships especially in these days and times.  Value reflects value......Jus Sayn!!!    By Dionna Ophelia

 

 

 

"Don't Let Another Day Go By"

By Dionna Ophelia (copywritten & published)

 

 

Don't let another day go by and we haven't spoken

It may not be visible but my heart is broken.

 

The silent, distant behaviors are wearing on me

Our relationship is much stronger than this catastrophe.

 

So I'll put aside me to accept us with open arms

I'm sorry we even went through this......I really meant no harm.

 

"Life Insurance"

Hump day Wednesday.....Hope you're having a pleasant day.  Thank you for checking out today's Jus Sayn segment.  Take good care of yourself until next time.



 

 

'Life Insurance'

By Dionna Ophelia

 



     I wouldn't want anyone to be able to take out a life insurance policy on me without my consent unaware of motives....basically cashing in on one....to do exactly what?  Handle their affairs?  Right! lol ..if so then why wouldn't that person know and have consented?  Is this the new form of lottery?  Arouses suspicion to ones plotting untimely deaths.  Let death naturally make its way around without deceptive plots going down.....Jus Sayn!!!

 

 

 

"The Life of Death"

By Dionna Ophelia (copywritten & published)

 

 

Death isn't evil or something to fear

With each passing day it draws near.

 

Sometimes it's swift other times slow

The older you get the more it grows.

 

For certain the living shall meet death

Loss of the physical gives life to memories left.

 

The breath of life can easily be taken

This irreversible transition leaves us shaken.

 

Do not let death take the joys out of life

Nor take life for granted it may expire in the night.

 

 

 

 

"Crossroads"

Greetings to Tuesday's segment of Jus Sayn...I hope all is well.


     Ever been hanging in the balance?  Unaware of which way to turn?  Whether to stick in there and give it another chance or walk away and let it burn?  The crossroads of life....the history, the laughter, the fights, the pain and now a fading picture of us in a frame.  Change is inevitable or so I've been told....follow your heart when at your crossroad.....Jus Sayn!!!    By Dionna Ophelia

 

 

 

 

"Turning Point"

By Dionna Ophelia (copywritten & published)

 

 

At which point do I turn and leave what we had behind

Aware of the wrongs we can't right, now running out of time?

 

If at one point I turn, I'd be a fool to stay

Love doesn't erase coldness you display.

 

You say you love me but can't go back in time

At that point I searched your heart and nothing was to find.

 

The depths of my heart's love for you is infinity

But there's a point in which I must turn to save my own identity.

 

I was weary and depression filled my joints

Then the epiphany of loving me first became my turning point.

 

"Peculiar Spirits"

Another Monday....Welcome back to my segment of Jus Sayn. 

 

"Peculiar Spirits"

By Dionna Ophelia

      A few years ago I was at a convenient store and this older man of color approaches me and says "You're psychic huh?"  and without hesitation I replied "No sir, I'm gifted."  That moment has stuck with me and in my moments of sitting quietly I recognized that I do have certain gifts not acquired by myself or of mankind.  I could not receive the notion of being psychic due that I don't and have never manipulated the actions of peculiar spirits.

     The revealing of what's to come bestows itself to me and always has since I can remember via through dreams, visions, people and other things.  I've never been a participant or spectator of the psychic world.  I've personally never had an appetite, desire or need either to manipulate spirits.  For all shall be revealed in time......as for me, my footsteps are ordered by the Divine....Jus Sayn!!!

Manipulation- Exerting shrewd or devious influence especially for one's own advantage.

"Peculiar Spirits"

By Dionna Ophelia (copywritten & published)

 

 

An unknown breeze in the still of the wind

A brief moment of chills covers the skin.

 

Is this breeze refreshing or should I take flight?

As peculiar spirits drift along through the night.
