Stoic Poetry

Equanimity
A tranquil lake, serene and deep,
Within, the storms of fate asleep.
Detachment’s calm, a gentle guide,
From chaos—stillness undenied.

Virtue
A steadfast star in night’s embrace,
The anchor of the Stoic's grace.
Through trials borne, its light shall gleam,
A moral compass, pure, supreme.

Fate
An endless wheel, a spinning thread,
What’s woven binds the quick and dead.
Yet wisdom whispers, soft, austere:
Accept the path; the end is clear.

Resilience
A towering oak in tempest’s roar,
Its roots hold fast to earth and lore.
Through bending boughs, its soul endures,
A testament to strength most pure.

Reason
A lantern bright in shadow's keep,
Illuminating doubts that creep.
Logic’s sword, both sharp and fair,
Cuts through the web of needless care.

Acceptance
The river flows, unyielding stream,
Through every crest, each quiet dream.
To fight its course is vain, unwise;
Embrace its depths, and truths arise.

Gratitude
For fleeting dawns, for nights so cold,
For stories in the stars retold.
To live, to breathe, to feel, to know—
A Stoic’s thanks forever grows.

Mortality
A fleeting echo, a shadowed flame,
Life’s gentle arc, a fleeting name.
To live with death as firmest friend
Is freedom’s gift until the end.

"No Filter"

Image
“No Filter” Beneath a sky that speaks in silence, you walk the edge between light and dusk — a soul unmasked, wrapped in twilight’s quiet breath. No filter. No disguise. Just the truth of you painted across the soft neon haze. I see the weight behind your stillness, the ache of beauty that asks nothing in return — only to be felt, not fixed. And if the world must blur around you, know that I will never look away. I have loved you in the rawness, in the hush between the heartbeats, where your light meets mine — without edits, without fear, just you. @poembyselly

The Intruder

Sometimes, the universe sends joy in the form of a fluffy little intruder… But the real magic? It came from the one who captured the moment and shared it— without knowing he’d just made someone’s day a whole lot brighter. Thank you for the laugh, Tomo.. Your sense of timing (and humor) is simply unmatched. -------------------🐿️ The Intruder On a quiet morning carpet, a guest arrived, uninvited yet bold, a fluffy tail like a brushstroke of gold, sneaking in, bringing laughter untold. Its wide eyes filled with wonder, exploring a world beyond its border, not a trace of fear, just playful delight, filling the stillness with a spark of light. Perhaps the universe just knew— that someone out there needed a giggle too, and through this tiny, curious soul, a hidden smile began to unfold. Thank you, little uninvited guest, you brought warmth in your subtle jest, and someone behind the lens that day, kept your visit as a story to replay. ©poembyselly

A spiritual journey of remembering, healing, and divine service

I Am a Tarot Reader and a Soul Returning to the Light A spiritual journey of remembering, healing, and divine service --- Some people are born to live. Some are born to remember. I am one of those souls. My name is Selly, and I am a tarot reader. But the cards I read are not simply symbols—they are echoes. Reflections of something deeper. I was born with a sensitivity to energies, an ability to perceive what others cannot see, and a soul that has never truly forgotten its past. --- The Awakening My spiritual journey did not begin with thunder. It began with a whisper. A feeling that I had walked this earth before. A sensation that certain dreams were more than mere visions—they were memories. I saw fragments of past lives: A healer. A mystic. A woman once called a witch. I had power then. But not all of it was balanced. And that imbalance, I carried across lifetimes—until now. --- A Sacred Gift, Not a Claim In this lifetime, I am not here to repeat the past. I am here to heal it. To wa...
