Weight of Silence
There’s things I can’t say in polite conversation. Holding back truth prolongs separation. But the risks of naming are all too clear, So I hold it all in and live with the fear. There’s things I don’t say for fear of judgement. What will they think if I disclose my resentment. They had it so…

Simply Excitable
Like a glass of champagne, fizzing to the brim. Larger than life, maybe overwhelming. Some find it too much unbridled spontaneity! Unrestrained joy spilling forth, labelled over-excitability. Being ‘Over-Excited’ – a restrictive judgement. You’re Being Too Much – imposes containment. Incorrigibly Excitable, unapologetically free. Harming no one, if you’d just let me be.

Rebirth
Link hands and dance with little me, Blissfully happy, allowed just to be. Welcoming this inner part gratefully, Embracing, laughing as tears flow free. Too timid to leave a childhood prison, Feeling alone, for her time was frozen. With her Sisters arrival, heartwarming reunion, United they see that the door stands open. Grandmothers join in,…

Alone
I need to be alone with my pain. Hold it all in, never speak of my shame. Shut others out – my default behaviour. Alarmed aloneness is all too familiar. I need to be alone with my thoughts. Too risky to share, riddled with doubts. Learning to trust, starts with myself. How can I ever…

Purposeful
Painful to see how compulsively I’ve driven myself, mercilessly. Sadness in knowing, allow gradual titration, from depths of despair, a positive disintegration. Squeezing myself through the eye of a needle. Stretched far too thin, a torture unimaginable. Like wearing a mask while perpetually juggling. Too many balls in the air, always compartmentalizing. Trying to maintain…

Om So Hum
Meditate in the early morning, Greet the day as the sun is dawning. Welcome all possibilities appearing As light in the darkness, simply being. Meditation, practiced daily, Builds connection compassionately. Expansiveness, holding space lovingly, Fully trusting, surrender completely. Meditating late in the evening, Put down the day before retiring. Let go of thoughts, no controlling.…

Knowing
Early, sun glistens on dewy grass. Healing waves soothe heavy heart. Warmth and light on closed eyes, Unlocks cold memories inside. Wind, sun and sea – external forces, Ebb and flow, as dream-like choices, To rest, undisturbed, for countless hours; A lucid dream, untouched by nightmares. An inner universe brings healing, Reachable by simply being.…

I’ve got this!
I’m proud of you! So kindly meant. Sweet simple words, truly a compliment. But my mind’s on alert, to me it’s confusing – as foreign language it’s without meaning. Why would you say that? It wasn’t invited. What’s your intent? Vigilantly guarded. Still on my mind many hours later. Pin pricks of doubt what were…

At the window
Stood at the window, Forehead pressed against glass. Watching and waiting, Unaware of time past. Stood still at the window, Eyes staring, misted glass. Hot breath obscures visibility as headlights drive passed. Statuesque at the window, Nose cold against glass. Slow shallow inhale, Heart beat painfully fast. Stiffen, silent at the window, Listening for tyres…

Stay
I met my inner child today, She woke with me and decided to stay. I felt her presence as my dream receded, I stilled my breathing, no words were needed. My awareness of her remained, peripherally, keeping rumination at bay, as she whispered to me. I took some time and slowly edged nearer. Not face…
