I Swung From the Willow
I swung from the willow,so careless and free;from ground to air,her strong branches carried me. In the shade of the willow,our secrets we shared;two best friends just sitting,all frustrations were aired. We met at the willow,and smiled as we talked;somehow we returned there,whenever we walked. The willow meant comfort,a safe place to rest;all who walkedContinue reading “I Swung From the Willow”
Until You Return To Me
I can’t live there,in the land of broken dreams;where shadowy wisps reach,daunting and teasing. Nor can I dwellin the sea of broken hearts,where the watery graves run,crashing and thrashing. I cannot climbthe mountain of despair,where snow-crested hills crumblein dark isolation. I will not follow youdown the dark and twisty streets,where shadows fall,and unseen eyes watch.Continue reading “Until You Return To Me”
The Tears I’ve Shed
The tears I’ve shed,so many,enough to fill a river,and then some. They flow freely,releasing my sorrow,until it pools,silently at my feet. When they dry,sorrow has dissipated,but not erased,they will come once more. They hurt,they heal,they gather,they fall. Like silent dropsin an ocean,unseen,unheard. Yet, I will savour my tearsfor in their releasingcomes a knowing,that I lovedContinue reading “The Tears I’ve Shed”

Dance
Smile,release that inner childwith arms flung high;who dances freely,solely for funand pure joy. Dance,with no limitations,no judgement;flowing freely,swaying to the beatfelt from within. Twirl,and glide,making circles;going nowhere,on your imaginary dance floor,and yet everywhere. Sway,hugging yourself,loving yourself;not caring,releasing all your troubles,and your worries. Sing,loudly or softly,keeping rhythmwith your steps;not caring who sees,or who hears. Love,freely andContinue reading “Dance”

Day’s End
And, as the days endcomes to a close,I lie awake and ponder;what will the year bring,an end to this Covid thing? I close my eyesand dream once more,of social gatherings;long-needed hugsand heartstring tugs. My mind wandersto the heroes of these days,those who keep us going;to all who have lost,theirs is the cost. Lockdown, stay home,keepContinue reading “Day’s End”
Child of the Light
The darkness chases me always,with an awful menacing might;though it may try to dissuade me,I will not let go of my light. For God’s love is my armour,His light my soul surrounds;His legion of angels assist me,as do saints with their haloed crowns. The light will shine through the darkness,chasing the shadows away;all my anxiety,Continue reading “Child of the Light”
