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…

Imperfect

If all you see is the best of me then how can I show up imperfectly? 🌻

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…

No rest for the wicked, merciless forward drive. Impulsively overcommitting, self-sabotage to survive. After times of expansion, contraction arises. To rest feels unfamiliar, but nourishment is…

Defensive unconsciousness seduced by familiarity saturated normality no scars for clarity questioning reality. Frozen in silence stark questions asked hear answers at last seeping from the past a suffocating mask. On this upending journey…

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…

If not now, then when?
You can say all the right words and do all the right things but it barely adds up to a life with meaning. You can feel all your feelings and mind all your thoughts but if you don’t learn the lesson it’s all for nought. 🌻

Perspective

Fresh lens on the story, Rose-tinted specs fuel lies. Sweep under the carpet, Past reality denied. Sharpen soft focus, Tease out threads of truth. With unimpaired insight, Shed naivety of youth. Trust strong fresh foundation, Of hope, truth and love. Bright eyes, wide open, Shining light from above. 🌻
