And so it was
The women stood in circle
They prayed for the souls of the earth
They laid their hearts open
Opening places in themselves
Scared and tattered
Worn and weary
But they came
Some sparkling with a wild twinkle in their eye
Some warriors
Some mothers
Some childless
But all came to join
With each other
To remember
To hold peace in a world that is chaotic at times
To breathe
To sigh
To cry
To hold on to what they know
Will get them through
Connection
Sisterhood and love …

Maybe it was the solar flares from the sun that day.
They said it affected the magnetic forces of the earth .
But hey something tripped me up that day,
Pushed me hard,
Skin and bone landing with a gruesome thud .
Now the frustration of solitude surrounds me .
The walls that have seen my many faces absorb my tears ,
And the sense that I am letting everyone down including myself self sits menacingly like a giant in the room.
I hear the heart beat of silence
She surrounds my every thought and lowers my mood further .
I cradle the pain that reminds me that bones shatter as easy as plates falling from hands unsteady.
The usual person I spend time with when I’m alone
Is not a person I recognise , nor do I enjoy their presence at this moment .
Glimmers of me shine through cracks like weeds creeping through pavements wanting to be loved , but these fleeting moments are not enough to sustain my mood into a positive state of being .
I notice that love of our children often is based on their need for us .
No flowers in vases , though my daughter braids my hair each morning .
Maybe they don’t recognise me either , maybe that scares them ~ it should !
Mantras of ‘it is what it is’ and ‘this is just temporary’ pull me forward slowly .
Just my Sunday morning thoughts rattling a little too loudly I had to let them out before they devoured me whole .
Maybe soon I will like myself a little more x

I disappeared from view
You didn’t call
I’m not sure you even noticed
You didn’t mention my name or seek me out
Silence holds the air like a cold night which belongs to no man
I lay down to rest
Invisible
Maybe tomorrow when I look in the mirror I won’t even recognise my reflection…

**It’s easy to pretend your not lonely
You tell yourself your just
alone wolf amongst the pack
But wolves are only alone when they have lost their love.
Like the ocean stumbling onto the beach
Love came
It came many times
But love was hollow
Friendships
You tend to keep at arms length
All but a few are allowed to see beneath your mask.
Oh how tiring life is
When there is no one to watch the sunset with …**

How exquisitely I take myself to pieces
Only to ravel up the yarn of my own misgivings so that I am able to try to understand the puzzle put before me.
**When you look in the mirror
What is it you see?**
*Please forgive me
If I step off the edge of reason
There seems so much to say
And such little time.*
The grandfather clock strikes 12
Tom’s midnight garden takes us back to the moment just before we first met.
I may just turn and walk away this time.
**I learnt that if I step side ways
I can observe without having to participate in this crazy game.**
I will follow the fallen leaves into autumn.
Where was it I hid my conscience again ?
I seem to be unraveling
Mind wanders as I drift upon the frozen memories of some obscure happening.
Please let me ride on the hushed whispers of spring.
And when Tom awakens from his dreams I will bask in the summers rays and warm you with my ever ending love.
*The garden of my soul is singing
For was it not a beautiful sight
When I was able to unravel the meaning that sat just passed the horizon in your deep hazel eyes.*
When I understood the answers to the questions.
When I stopped and thought for just one moment
I realised
That the reflection in the mirror was nothing but an illusion

I lay on cold pavements
Darkness surrounding me
The warmth of summer has left long ago and snow is falling all around
Why do I just lay here
Ever still
Lifeless
Oh but for silence my heart beckons
The chill becomes me
I am at one with this moment that makes no sense
Why would I just lay in freezing animated darkness
Why choose something so chilling
And yet
Do we not all choose situations that hold us hostage to a moment
Chains and crosses to bare and break
We can leave this place
But where are we going
Where are we going
Are we going
Or shall we stay
On cold pavements
Snow falling
Dreaming
Dreaming of a life less bare .

Touch the heart
Loosen the coils that bind
Hold softly all that you are and believe in
To be
Just to be
Still
Calm
And silently waiting
For you to return
That’s all I ask
All I need
There is so much that you will never know .

He called her
The soul of his soul
Child in arms
Joyfulness overflowing
Laid crumpled upon the earth
Ash filled hair
Dust covered face
Guns and bombs
Destruction
We call ourselves the human race
We watch
We see
We witness
We cry
We march
All whilst they die
Now
Soul meets soul
Heavens cry
When gentle men lay down to die
Heart breaks
With each vision
Blood on hands of politicians
Complicit in war
They will one day
Meet their maker
What will they tell
When they are turned away
Direction travelling straight to hell
And we moan about the weather
And the tax rising
We moan about Christmas
And the money we’re spending
All whilst their children are dying
Children pray in Gaza
They pray and they play
No schools
No hospitals
No food
Family they lost
All they had
And I share about Geniside
Onto my media
1 like
1 heart
1 tearful emoji
1 angry face at a push
When did we get so good at this
So good at looking the other way
We learnt about ****** in school and yet we would of let that go if we had witnessed it
We would of turned our faces and our backs
Why do people not want to talk about this ? to make this right ?
It doesn’t concern them
I get it …
Or do I ?

I peeked out at the world
Beyond my window
Late cold night
Stirrings of December
Solstice has turned
Moon rising
Oh how much beauty lyes within the night sky
Can I but absorb this
Just for a moment I am connected
To the something more
The force that creates and devours
As a child I fall at the steps of the underworld
Priestess it’s time to start crawling your way back to earth bringing the beauty of the spring forth
May you cloth the land in colour and splender.
May these sparkling stars that illuminate the heavens turn to the bold and beautiful sun that holds life within its grasp
Oh how beautiful the world would be
Without us …

Is it still classed as mental health
When your tummy warns
You of impending doom
You act accordingly
Only later finding out that
your fears were real
People you wouldn’t want to meet
were in places you were ment to go
And boom was it anxiety
Or was it spiritual connection
Warning you of impending doom.
