A dusty path beneath my feet,
My worries fade with each step,
Leaving the past behind.
Green fields wave to hopeful songs,
As the horizon stretches open,
And a new day waits to greet me.

My worn boots carry a heavy heart,
Breaking the chains of yesterday.
As sunlight breaks through
the grey clouded by sadness sky,
And liberation calls with a soothing voice,
Promising a fresh beginning.

I feel wild grasses brush against me,
As shattered paths mend themselves.
Silence fills my distracted mind,
Distant trees rise in understanding,
And letting go becomes my strength,
As the future blooms like wildflowers.

The countryside embraces me,
As the healing winds of change blow,
Miles unwind like a silent threads,
Breaking free from what once was,
As each step forward builds courage,
Walking towards a new dawn.

Corporate Wasteland

Is life worth living
When all you do is give,
Pouring out your soul
Into an unrelenting hole?

Each sacrifice exacts its toll,
Consuming any self-control,
They take without any remorse,
Draining your spirit's inner source.

In corporate rooms of cold design,
Where profit trumps the human line,
You stand amongst the beaten downs,
With silent ones who wear their frowns.

Your body bends, your mind breaks,
Yet blame becomes the final stake.
Pointing fingers, casting shame
As struggles grow and you're to blame.

So tell me now, amid this strife:
Are you truly blessed in this life?
Or just a cog within the wheel,
Where giving is the only deal?

I'm seeing more and more people struggling with work related stress these days.
The world seems to have gone mad?!

I tried…

I tried to stop loving you,
So I built my walls high,
Yet you carved yourself in me,
A mark that won't erase,
A pulse beneath the armour,
A ghost I can't outpace.

In the calm of the night,
I think of those who came,
Their voices are like whispers,
Yet yours always rebounds,
Resounding in my head,
As time slips by in vain.

Sometimes I pause and wonder,
Do you recall my gaze?
The way the world fell silent,
When we were face to face,
The way I'd run toward you,
Through summer's warm embrace.

Have you turned another page,
Forgotten what we were,
While I weave through threads of longing,
as my memories become a blur?
My heart still beats your rhythm,
Though distance makes it stir.

I really tried to stop loving you,
But love, it seems, won't yield,
For even in these lonely walls,
Your significance is revealed,
Like a heart etched on a tree,
Too deep to be concealed.

Waiting

These fleeting moments,
Carry dreams yet to bloom,
While my words dance and play,
In the stillness of this room.

The world may rush around me,
Yet here, I find my inner peace,
In the wisdom shared between us,
All of my worries seem to cease.

As moments go unnoticed
Like tall grass glistening
With soft morning dew.
The steady beating
Of my heart
Still waiting for you.

Dear old Father Time,
Slips between my fingers,
With each passing second,
His gentle guidance lingers.

So I’ll care for every moment,
As a quiet hope fills the air,
You'll read this poem of waiting,
And I know that you will be there.

Dementias Curse

In the mind, where memories fade,
A once-bright mind is sadly betrayed.
A friendly face, but whose is unclear,
As echoes of love dissolve into fear.

Time, a thief, with a fragile hand,
Steals pieces of life, like grains of sand.
Familiar paths turn into foreign trails,
Lost in a maze where confusion prevails.

Each brief moment, an unfamiliar song,
Ties us to those we once held, now gone.
Though the curse may linger, love remains,
In the hearts of those who bear the chains.

I can imagine that quite a few of us can relate to the misery that dementia brings, watching their loved ones regress through their memories, slowly forgetting their friends and family, eventually taking away their ability to function independently.

I feel for all those that have had to go through this awful disease.

Winters Lullaby

Crystal stars pierce evening skies,
While breath clouds dance and fade away,
As shortened winter daylight dies,
And frost-touched branches gently sway.

The air nips sharp at nose and chin,
As nature dims its weary sight,
And drowsy shadows usher in
The softest curtain of the night.

Each creature seeks its quiet den,
As time itself moves sweet and slow.
While winter whispers, once again,
Beneath the alabaster snow.

Through silver webs of frozen lace,
The world drifts deep in winter's spell,
As sleep wraps earth in soft embrace,
While dreams deep within us dwell.

The season calls with gentle lure,
Through frosty breath and starlit nights,
As heavy eyelids find their cure
In winter's soft and silver lights.

Beneath this blanket crystal-deep,
Where dreams and snowflakes softly fall,
The earth and I begin to sleep,
While winter's hushes gently call.

The world grows still and crystal clear,
Beneath the serene and darkened sky,
As peaceful slumber draws us near,
To winter's softest lullaby.

Friday

Friday brings happy goodbyes
to a working week
of giving your all.
As the sun dips low
in painted skies,
it promises rest
and joy starts to rise.
Such sweet release,
crossing that bridge
from a week of toil
to a weekend of peace.
