I sold myself
For moments of temporal joy
Pleasure was my gain
Only then
To languish in my pain
Month September 2016
Amidst the Storm
Amidst the storm
And raging skies
The tempered clouds
Shine bright below
I hear my Saviour’s
Quiet voice –
“Be still and know
That I am God “
Expanding Skies
Dead bees and green trees
Burning heat and blue seas
Joys and sorrows intertwined
Death and life – expanding skies
A Small Miracle
A rainbow promise
Stretching across gloomy skies –
Fleeting miracle
Demons Rising
Panic is rising
Rising up and
Light is growing
Growing dimmer
While darkness
Is darkening
I steel myself
Trying to keep
Safe from
Demons inside
Rising up to
Throttle
My heart
Not knowing
Where to go
Or where to turn
I hold myself
A Thought from Rumi
“Be empty of worrying.
Think of who created thought!”
Reflections
I have no point to prove
Wish there was more to say
Or even more to share
But I have no words
To say to you
The hurt runs deep and wide
Like blood flowing through my veins
It never goes away
I’ve learnt the lesson
Will live to tell
So Summer
Yay, Summer!
Summer is arriving in the Southern Hemisphere, and to celebrate I had my first swim of the season. And it was glorious! I swam off all my trapped negative emotions, unhelpful thoughts, and just submerged myself underwater.
To be Loved
Today I felt pain
A trigger of hurt
Cutting through my heart
My eyes welled up
The tears began to form
So I closed my eyes
And encouraged myself –
I am alive and
So I feel.
Good, sad, happy, bad.
And I am loved.
