I Feel

Roller coaster life
Buckle up and enjoy the ride
From the time I awake until the night
I’m guided by an inner light
That transports me to joys so bright
Flying me on wings of dizzying height
Then dipping low and causing fright
Lurching, flying, moving, crying
My soul is on an emotional flight
To be, to have, to think, to move
All parts that work for good
But above all of these, there is but one
A higher, deeper, lower, greater
Depth to me and this would be

I feel

This is my humanity

When is it Friday?

Today
I will pick myself up
Dust myself off
Lift my chin off the ground

Tomorrow
I will do it all over again

Friday
I will sip wine and have fun

Butterfly Wings

Butterfly colony
Fluttering their wings
In symphonic harmony

I cannot sleep
I cannot eat
I cannot think

Where’s the music?
Let it flow
Calming, gentle, classical

I cannot sleep
I cannot eat
I cannot think

Soothe my nerves, and calm my mind
Because I have butterflies
Feasting on my adrenaline

I cannot sleep
I cannot eat
I cannot think

Musical notes fly into my soul
Be gentle, be soft, be firm
And kiss these butterfly wings away

Ego

A frail, fragile ego
Follows me wherever I go
I long to be free
But I have a shadow
Following me

Drive

When love dies
Hope for tomorrow disappears
When hope dies
The joy you brought evaporates
When joy dies
The drive that spurned me on is gone
Replaced with a knife
Cutting through my heart so cruel
Leaving shards of glass
To splinter, tear and ruin
When love dies
My smile, my hope, my joy dies too

Haircut

My hair’s been irritating me for a while, and no chance to get to a hairdresser. So this evening my fingers were really itchy and before I knew it my hair was chopped!

Yay me, and it feels so good ✂️

Unpredictability

When I least expected change,
Change turned my life around.

My prayers had ceased, I had
Made peace with fading dreams.

My dreams were dead, my hope
Was lost, my faith was gone.

But with the certainty of
Rising sun and dying night –

The only thing predictable
Is life’s unpredictability.

Night Dreams

Decisions of mine
Every choice I have made
Have all led me here

A silent moment
Alone, having company
Contemplating me

There is no escape!
Wondering what could have been
No door can I see

I long for release!
Echoes of a distant me
Dreaming silently
