Spiralling
Down and down
And down again from
Mid centre to
The lowest
Point

Half and Half

An image
Appeared to me
A vision of
Sun and sea
Reflections of
Day and night
Unfilled dreams
Filling my sight
Fragile
Life breathed into us
Is as bubbles flying in
Blowing wind, fragile
Testimony
You were love
You gave love
You were joy
You gave joy
You were peace
You gave peace
Earthly life complete
Testimony standing sure
No hurt, no pain
Will you ever have to endure
If this be my only comfort
Allow it be my anchor
For all eternity
Sailing
Sailing into my sunset
Sailing from today
Sailing to tomorrow
Sailing myself away
Will you love me tomorrow
Will you love me today
Will you love my forevers
Will you always stay?
Heartfelt
I’ve lived another day
To smile and laugh and breathe
And with these passing hours
My love has since increased
I love you more than you could know
My heart is yours to keep
My Hero
I love
That your heart is beating still
I love
That your body is warm with life
I love
That our flesh becomes one
I love
That your hands are so strong
I love
That you make me feel loved
I love
That you are here with me
Keeping me safe
Cotton Clouds
Balls of cottonwool
Tumble across playground sky –
Heralding the storm
Choices
I made a decision
That affects my tomorrow
I wish I could undecide
But I’m committed
Panic
My chest tightens
As I curl up into a ball
I seek refuge
Under the covers of my bed
Anticipating the waves of life
To crash over me
I cannot dream without my dreams
Morphing into nightmares
I feel my panic rise
Along with the beats of my heart
I’m scared to sleep
I’m scared to wake
I’m scared to eat
I’m scared to work
So I curl up further
And wish myself away
