Extend yourself beyond your wildest dreams, keep reaching for that sky

Mistake – DP
It was a mistake to let you walk away without telling you I cared.
But your loving declaration found me somewhat unprepared.
I laughed at what you shared with me, not believing it was true.
You must have thought me very cruel to make a fool of you.
I’m feeling so much sadness now, you have a new love so real.
I’ve learnt the hard way sure enough, I hope my heart will heal.
Witness
It is both beautiful and incredibly heartbreaking to witness someone you love die.
Beautiful as it’s the last thing you can do on earth for someone you love deeply. To hold their hand and give them permission to leave, even though every ounce of your being is screaming for them to stay.
Emotions between you are shared as if you share the same soul. At this time there is not need for many words, you feel the way together. You feel peace and serenity in a silence between you and an acceptance and understanding that death will shortly join you.
As death comes a small part of you goes along too, the person who remains here will never be quite the same person who walked into the room.
I don’t think I need to explain heartbreaking, it speaks for itself. I have found time does make it easier, it never leaves you but you learn to live again.
The Park Bench
The elderly man sat down on the bench in the park and looked across the lawn to the tennis courts. It was the first day of spring and the courts were full with youngsters, it reminded him of the love he once had for the game. He remembered the trip he took to Wimbledon’s Centre Court for the final, all those years ago. He hadn’t watched a game in a very long time and today was not going to be the day for catching up.
At the top of the bench there was a shiny silver plaque, the inscription in italic read ‘George Knox – loving father and husband, died as he lived in peace and love’. He looked at the plaque for a moment and thought about George. The family had done well, the bench was in a lovely spot, it got the warmth of the afternoon sun but…

Lessons from your Blogs
I’ve learnt a lot today and I’ve only been up about an hour.
Learnt from reading your blogs, wow, what amazing power.
Isn’t it just fabulous, that I learn from what you say.
Like on photography, in taking shots, the very best of ways.
And commenting, how I should, to show an author I care.
Via posts, on how, to carefully put my words out there.
On love and life, on success and on every other topic.
Finding messages in your posts however microscopic.
My agenda, to read some more, while I drink my coffee.
I’ve dived into the blogging world, so what on earth can stop me.
Peace Angel
I’m an instrument of peace,
in a world that’s so profound.
When I sense anger in this town,
my tasks to turn it around.
A symbolic figurine of peace,
like a feather or a dove.
By the sea where dolphins jump,
I spread the word of love.
I stand upon a golden globe
and hold an olive branch.
An old stone angel asking you,
to give your god a chance.
From the Gutter
I might be in the gutter now but I’m graduating high.
From these depths, I’m growing up and I intend to fly.
I had to hit the bottom hard, to understand my plight.
I cannot get much further down, so a bullet I will bite.
I will grow to reach my goals, stand up straight and tall.
Then when I’m big and happy, I’ll be careful not to fall.
Obviously So
Love is really the only answer, isn’t it obvious.
In response to the daily prompt – obvious
Distant Love
Closing my eyes
and your around me,
you surround me
and so you should.
Deep in my mind,
I feel your presence,
I feel you near me
and so I should.
I call your name
and you draw closer,
you touch my heartstrings
and so you should.
I feel your love,
it holds me always,
we’ll always own this
and so we should.
Obvious ?
Random thoughts I can’t compose,
come spilling through my mind.
Fine scattering of vague memories,
net curtains their hiding behind
Like petals dropping one by one,
letting go just to disappear.
I pray they’ll stay a moment more,
please bring my loved ones near.
I used to think it quite sensible,
owning a tidy, working mind.
But as days go on not as obvious,
in the love I’m trying to find.
