The Return of Light
Universe Poems Dec 2021
Turn of the year,
when does this officially happen,
they say
The earliest celebration of this,
Mesopotamia 2000 BCE
Vernal Equinox,
start of Spring you see
Many cultures followed,
the cycle of nature
Temporal system
New Year between,
Winter Solstice
and, Vernal Equinox beam
The return of light
Equinox,
Latin words
aequi equal,
and, nox night
Vernal Equinox,
considered the first day of Spring
Day and, night are equal in length
That's right

Creation - Far - Away
Universe Poems Dec 2021
A writer's mind
there is no other kind,
creating as we live life
Embedded in who we are
That will take you to a place,
that is near,
but so very far,
as creativity,
can never be measured,
even with velocity

Kept tightly so it grows

The Realm of Words
Universe Poems Dec 2021
Chime the frequency is mine,
frequencies are part of us
Words are a powerful source,
and, resource,
available to humanity of course
It can be used constructively,
or course despair to thee,
energy is sent,
strong abilities meant
Healing, pain, hinder,
hurt, harm or insane
Gentle answers soothe,
and, cure
A horrible tongue,
will make you poor
Loving creates a frequency,
higher than I hate you,
you feel the energy,
of the words to
The words on a persons,
lips can rip through,
your aura blizz,
energetic vibration,
speaking low or high
Yes is high at charging i
The universe feels your yes,
attracting energy right,
back to you,
leaving you blessed
Spiritual world and, harmony,
higher vibrations,
Positive revelations, happiness,
Joy, excitement and, peace,
negative feelings decrease,
Fear, anger, shame or frustration,
associates lower vibration,
to the frequency,
metaphysical and, spiritually
A rate of vibration,
and, oscillation,
a period of time,
a split second in an eye,
repeating sequence,
oh my
Taking things for granted in life,
that is part of our existence,
Spiritual and, natural life
The entire world,
Cosmos, Celestial
and, Terrestrial Realms
Everything connected
Our words as well

Feelings churn
Memories turn
Delight
No searchlight
There whenever,
eyes are closed,
without a stare,
Just the zoetrope,
motion picture projector,
in the drum loop
Motion illusion,
It is memory fusion

Tempest
Universe Poems Dec 2021
Clouds from all around,
whispering sounds
Whirling through life,
storms are providing strife
Covering your capabilities,
and, dismembering,
your stabilities
Clear the way,

It’s never to late,
to prepare for a storm,
making a shelter,
that will keep you warm

Reminisce Forever
Universe Poems Dec 2021
Turn the pages of your life,
what do you see,
a blank book,
or pages filled with memories,
you undertook
Did you live the life you could see
Did you value the choices,
you made for thee
When you opened the book,
and, you looked,
did you value,
every avenue you took
Value all experiences,
as they shaped,
who you are today,
paved the way,
so your knowledge could stay,
as you evolved anyway,
mind, body and, spirit,
expanded everyday

Your - Morals
Universe Poems Dec 2021
Part of daily life
Right or wrong
Fixed by standards,
that have to belong
Based on individual values
Sounds like a good song
Requires a Moral judgement
That can’t be wrong
Remember morals, are made,
on individual beliefs
Do you trust others to hold,
this judgement to create peace,
Maybe you will answer,
based on your moral belief
Your answer will be right,
as it fits your brief

The Cycle
Universe Poems Dec 2021
When we are born,
entered into a world,
helpless and, a dependent form,
a fresh with the middle to come,
as we progress becoming older,
will be done
Taking us back,
to a dependent one
The cycle,
will be part of the course
Note the itinerary list,
which can’t be missed,
A journey and, route,
closed eyes won’t suit
Know this,
you need the right boot
Just trust the universe,
it will unfold,
you will see,
providing direction,
and, a track,
smooth enough,
so you can come back
Your way is certain of that

Chapters of Life
Universe Poems Dec 2021
Looking up
The shelves,
are cascading,
high into the air
Covered in cobwebs,
that is not fair
The dark sky,
is in sight above,
winding chains,
fall from the sky,
connected to a table,
that is so high
in the middle of the room,
millions of dusty books,
candles are alight on hooks
I want to zoom into these books
Wait by candlelight it can be seen,
the chains are holding a book,
left open so we can look,
the words are written,
in the middle is where you are,
the book is not finished so far
You can turn the page,
or close the book,
are you brave enough,
to write another page,
please look
This is your life,
fill it with paradise,
and, enjoy every slice

All Lives Matter
Universe Poems Dec 2021
No one has the right,
to take a life
No human is better,
than another
Equal we all are
Our blood red by far
Violence is no defence,
or punishment it represents
Disregarding life
Value Plants, animals,
and, human life
Respected protected,
and, cared for
We need to
For our planet more,
and, more
Poisoning, pollution    
Suffocating with deforestation
Is abusive for our inhabitation
Cutting down trees,
humans are destroying,
Ecosystems, damaging wildlife,
bringing the planet to its knees  
Leaders worldwide do not care,  
about any form of life,
and, deliberately destroy,
actively disregarding,
any movement for change
The concept of superiority, inferiority,
is wrongly understood,
by Law Enforcement,
that should be doing good,
When they violently abuse their power,
that is misunderstood
Everyone has capacity,
to grow and, change,
and, extend their,
intelligence range
Feeling cared for and, loved,
their efforts appreciated,
by everyone around them
Everyone makes mistakes
It’s true
Even if at the time,
It seemed right
Restorative Justice,
should be first sight,
as in a growing environment,
people can recognise,
their mistakes right
With Expanded understanding,
reciprocation profounding
What they need to do
to be a better person
You see
Realising on their own,
gives vision with opportunity to grow
No Government creates people,
the people create a Government
Public Bodies, have a duty
to respect and, care,
People’s Wellbeing that is fair
Many carers,
care for the mentally ill
Or Patients with Autism,
learning disability too
Sometimes complex health in situ
Which is not their fault
A diagnosed medical condition,
Is the sort
Restrictions on a  person’s movement
That breaches Human Rights
This type of conduct,
by Public Bodies is clearly,
not right
As humans we have a duty,  
to create a society,
where all can express an attitude,
of care nonetheless
Respect and, compassion,
at its best
Celebrating individual achievement
Attitude applied,
to our animals, plants,
and, oceans,
as well as human reside    
The almighty took,
a garden you see,
and, planted it well
So it thrived, and stayed alive

Employment Contracts

Within contractual work employees are entitled to have certain times of leave e.g.

Compassionate leave

Parental leave

Maternity leave

Annual leave

Adjustment leave for people should be something that is offered in contract. These days should be able to be taken in a flexible manner according to the individual's circumstances. Which I don't feel should have to be explained in detail. Just like booking annual leave, adjustment leave should be able to be requested.

Self Employed

If you are self-employed you will have to ensure that filtering adjustment leave if needed into your schedule, is undertaken even if it is certain hours or days off.

Adjustment
Universe Poems Dec 2021
People who have been,
through trauma,
will understand,
the coming down
Feels like a brass band,
that came to town
Not on edge,
feels like,
a deflating wedge
Wait though,
another high,
before the heart,
rests into rhythm,
that is not sky high
What do people do
After years,
of heightened through,
with only certain moments,
then adrenaline again
Adjustment press send
There is a time,
that needs to happen,
to release
No clear plan,
just focus on daily,
action I can
The heart beats,
as certain elements,
are still reaching out to treat
Your hand must,
provide the support
or it is oblique,
at the same time,
focus on the retreat,
so it was like before,
they walked over your street
Going beyond,
what any human would give
Blood is not thicker than peace,
sometimes the journey ties you in
before release,
ready for you to begin,
the adjustment from within

Trauma

I wanted to tackle this subject as a professional.

So often it can be seen as a very difficult subject in reality and in communities.

Healing being the survivor not the victim,
people can recover following trauma…..
That is all very good.

However, what happens at the adjustment time? The time when people may just be coming out of trauma, or even still having to provide support after years of trauma then through the adjustment period also.

Examples:

Having to go out late at night to get certain foods if someone has Autism, ADHD or Anxiety that affects them in this way.

Being shouted at quite a lot of the time in life.

Not being able to sit and eat without interruptions most of the time.

Ongoing, relentless stress bullying, domestic violence….

Having your feelings hurt over and over again….

Living daily life not knowing what is coming next e.g. living life on edge……

Above is not an exhaustive list…...some examples.

In Between healing, prior to this also
and, as well as knowing people will recover, there is adjustment from, or during the situation or circumstances.

In Summary

Adjustment takes place primarily and these individuals go through trauma adjustment, before the mind, body. and, the soul can begin to heal or recover.

Home School Bus
Universe Poems Dec 2021
Our children look up to us
We are driving the bus
The effort and, process,
for each blooming flower,
is worth more than,
labels that span
Acknowledge efforts,
minute by minute,
hour by hour
Outcomes have a road,
being perfect should not be laid,
as a carpet for the bestowed,
The journey on the bus,
should be smooth and, gentle,
without ******
Being a perfectionist,
is not a must
