A female Midas whose touch transforms into gold?
A Medusa who stare turns you to stone?
A sorceress who’s presence turns all to poison?
Or perhaps all three?
Only time will tell.

Feeling regret,
Wasting time,
Lost opportunities,
Not listening,
Not trusting,
Being angry,
Being defensive,
Being hurt,
Fighting,
Attacking,
Speaking harshly,
Taking offence
When none was proffered,
Bringing past hurts and pain into the present,
Moments squandered
Never to be repeated,
Time and people moving on.
Finding it hard
To forgive
Myself,
For not being perfect,
For getting it wrong,
For being cruel,
For self sabotage,
For wasting time,
For missing opportunities,
For not truly treasuring
Those precious moments
Spent with someone you care for
Deeply
Who has so much to teach
And share
In so little time.

Oh the seductiveness
Of that deep dark abyss
Keeps calling,
Saying my name,
Come hither,
You know you want it,
You know you love it.
NO!
I don’t love it
And I don’t want it.
I recognise it now for what it is.
My uncomfortable comfort zone.
It’s there to keep me playing small,
To hold me back,
To imprison me
With its sticky tentacles
Of negative thinking
And victim mentality.
Bit by bit,
Moment by moment,
Hour by hour,
Day by day,
I learn to do things differently,
To change a habit of a lifetime,
To feel joy,
To seek pleasure in what I do,
To see good in those around me,
Quite simply, to live.
But vigilance my friend,
For it will always be lurking in the shadows,
To catch you unawares.
When your mind starts to fog,
Loses clarity of thinking,
Your emotions start to boil over,
Stop. Pause. Breathe.
Move your body,
Dance to an upturn beat,
Sing choirs of angels,
Jump for joy.
Change the stagnant energy
To one of the highest vibration,
To one of love
For you
And all.
