Begin
A record of progress, Deep work being done. Not a measure of success, No prize to be won. Only the glory of knowing It’s all written down. Words to come back to, A reference of my own. A journal of sorts, A memoir in the making. For future generations, Prevent history repeating. 🌻

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…

Learning to Feel: An Intro
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence? I wanted discomfort, opportunities for growth. You challenged me like no other until I broke. I’m still so fragile, a vulnerable fledgling. Never tested my wings, please don’t push me out the nest yet… I have so many doubts. To trust is too risky. No one feels…

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…

Freeze
A downward depression Energies sink low. Submerging exhaustion, Too heavy to float. Done with the editing, For self preservation. A shield from judgement and condemnation. Hopelessly drained, Numb tears run dry. Dull eyes entertain, Flat, joyless sunrise. Done with the shaming, Seeking a source. Cut off the power Of painful thoughts. Cold, calm, disconnected, Far-off,…

Yield to Overcome
Infinite timeless, effortless being. Glimpse of paradise, awareness elevating. Drinking in luxury of gifted moments. A precious pleasure, To savour empowerment. Of freedom, abandoning judgements of others. Answer to no one. We are stronger together.

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…

Numb
A day of emotions, Too overwhelming. What do I need, Words or feelings? 🌻
