Poems & Perceptions
Overthinking weighs heavy on my chest,
panicked by thorny questions,
from people who know best.
I’ve reached a strange place now,
this wasn’t meant to be,
I did not see this coming,
I cry so much I can’t see.
Another fight, barriers higher,
a different state of play,
spiritual friends they guide me,
convincing me to pray.
Stay positive trending mantra,
impossible, painfully insincere,
fingers bleed from clinging on,
swaying aimless, no feeling,
no fear.

I write this on a Sunday, a hotter than expected day heat on my back,
10 thousand steps, my legs felt them all in the woods, deep in muddy tracks.
Hazy sunshine reflection caressed the still of the water,
Divine familiar presence, an angel guiding my steps – I am her daughter.
Nature’s arms are open wide, I feel her, brave I snuggle close to the wind,
Setting cloudless intentions, the universe is listening –
negativity dumped in the bad vibes bin.
Selenite is glowing, protective crystals circle round,
They bask in moonlit hopes and glories, tender energy finally found.
10 thousand steps to here and my heartfelt words,
There is nowhere that I cannot move, winged intentions, free as a bird.
