Understanding
Dull ache at the temples. Painful, clenched jaw. Blank eyes, tight shoulders, Heavy hearted, withdrawn. Who is that person, The reflection I see? Unsmiling, remote. Is this really me? Stays out of the limelight, Afraid to be seen. Avoiding attention, Safer unaccompanied. To speak my story. Every word rings true.Reflected back in their eyes,“I’m sorry…

Goodbye
Few friends at the graveside, Snow blown icy face. Harsh reality of finality, Soft, salty tears, lips taste. Frozen, somber moment, All time slips away. Past losses, stark reminder, Feels as only yesterday. Emotional scars,Each loss leaves it’s mark; Pin-prick painful up close, Forever aches in the heart. For the sadness endures, Empty words cannot…

Free
Intrusive memories, Replay over and over. Tortuous rumination A twisted pleasure. To name the emotions, An indescribable gift. Hit the nail on the head, Release, feel a shift. Time travel back To each painful moment. To stop more harm, Freeze everyone present. Stand fearlessly beside Little ‘you’ that is hurting. Attune, feel resonance, In the…

I love you, but …
I love you through this difficult time. But only if your heart is open, like mine. Our wires are crossed, Knotted tightly together. Sparking, short circuit As the bond is severed. I’m here for you as you rebuild your life. But can’t hold space, for your pain and mine. What is our relationship? Boundaries are…

Home
Longing for wholeness, Perpetual seeking, Never ceasing, Till truth is faced. The Sun and the Moon, In daily rotation, Disintegrate separation, Wholeheartedly embrace. One and the same, Unique, yet divided In suffering, united By shared humanity. Home is the ocean welcoming the wave who thought itself to be lost at sea. As if that were…

Happy New Year!
The balls in my court But what to do with it? This silence weighs heavy But I what can I say? Take back your power! Speak up for yourself! Claim your voice, be heard! Fear drives action away. Avoiding, ignoring. May time bring healing? Too afraid of saying the wrong, naïve thing. Anxiety worsening. Sadness…

Completion
A frosty reception, Weight of expectation. Despite celebration, Still, no resolution. Fragile expression, Visible depression. Inner repression Seeks validation. Vast gulf of rejection, No bridge for connection. Heavy curtain of deception Prevents reconciliation. Lies of omission Grant silent permission To avoid decision, Fearing oblivion. Calm compassion, Assists assertion To clear misconception Bringing fresh realization. Quiet…

A Year from Now
The darkest day, a winter solstice, Energetic exchange to reinforce this Magical moment, a time to reflect, The longest night transforms regrets. Invite more light, sharing blessings, As flames kissing, translating lessons. Who will I be, a year from now? Not the same person, in spirit anyhow. Free from the past, loving each moment, Vibrating…
