Writing a Better Me

Southern Hemisphere Lovin’ Gal
Springtime celebrated every year
This September brought a fresh Summertime Dose
Of turmoil, agony and despair

Not knowing what to do, and where to go
How to get rid of this darkness within
I looked to the sun, and saw brightness and light
I looked within, and felt courage and life

So many words flowing forth from my heart
I started to write, I started to type
And every day ever since
I have written, I have typed

Words arising, healing, flowing
Understanding a little more of my soul within
Therapeuting, growing, empathising
Passionating my way to be a better me –

In the depths of despair I held out my arms
And was gently lifted from the dark well surrounds
To a higher, brighter, sun-drenched place
Of life, and light, and safety

flower in sun

Perfect Day

I’ve spent a few years
Looking outside of me
Yearning

For some company
To fill an internal need
Externally

Not that easy always
For friends to conjure up
Magically

So I picked up a pen
That is – my hands and began to type
Consistently

And what I’ve found
Is that I’ve started to heal
Miraculously

I am no longer looking
To fill a void to
Band-aid me

So now my perfect day
Would be to visit myself
Internally

To spend some time
Learning to paint a little
Artfully

I’ve booked on a course
To learn concepts of design
Visually

So I can write
And when I’m done I can
Graphically

Turn my writing
Into books that can keep others
Company

And to drink, some sparkling water
With ice and lemon and bubbles
Please!

No sparkling water but this will work!
