I sometimes talk to others with the same tone I talk to myself
With the same criticality, the same distain
Sometimes I don’t
Sometimes I’m forgiving, I’m tender
Sometimes I’m compassionate and kind
I must remember this
To keep it in mind
For the next time
Myself and I
Speak again

I find
that
Sometimes
Summertime
Warm skies
Joy Cries
Pain dies
Fun
Sun
Times
Some times
.
I feel
.
Happy
Gratefully noticed

When all is lost,
When surrender is the only choice
A man may choose to search, or not, for the truth of god within him
But what is a man to do
When it is God that comes searching, holding the truth of him
Not held with blame but as something he must learn
That for to forgive himself, is something he must earn

When all is not lost
When surrender is the last of your choices
Search for me then
Surrender into my loving arms then
So I may show you
Your courage
Your love
And the beauty I see in you

The fear I have most
is for what I lack least of
when I need it the most

Was courage not there for each brave step that I’ve taken?
If not, then none of those steps would be trod
Did my strength disappear when I broke to my weakest?
If it had I'd continue the crumble to bone
Was calm not inside me whilst everything shook?
Or was it a harbour to return to when my storm had been spent
Was love not inside when my heart felt so empty?
Or was it patiently waiting to be sensed again

It is your fear that hides all our gifts from your eyes
Just know now . we are there . when you need us

The fear I have most
is for what I lack least of
when I need it the most
hidden gifts - inspired by and dedicated to my dear friend J. Reardon and her courage x

When she died
I thought I’d lost her
I hadn’t
I’d lost myself
Shattered in the blast
And I’m still searching
Occasionally I’ll find a broken piece of me
Some of them are not so pretty
They’re shamed deep with my failures
Stained with regret
I do my best to wash them
Before I put them back

I’m destroyed, again
Again?
But how can I still be here to be destroyed
When I’ve been destroyed so many times before
.
There’s hope in that
Perhaps a gain
I’m destroyed again and again

How come I always end up, back on square one?
And how come square one, whilst always familiar, is never quite the same as it was before?
Is it the same square one or a different one I’ve landed on?
… maybe there’s more than one of them out there
A life boobytrapped with thousands of invisible square ones scattered all over the place
Must I visit them all before I never have to return there?
And if true…
Will I simply end up, back on square two?
conversation with self ;)
