These lines that appear, come to us through experience, these lines teach us understanding. Trace your fingers gently across them and you will always find your way.

Savage Year
You were savage in your approach to me,
but I can see now why you came.
In the cruel, punishing and hurtful place,
I experienced incredible pain.
And all of those things I thought so real,
material things and the like.
Stripped me bare so I lost my way out,
I travelled the darkest night.
I questioned why you came for me then,
I know better now on this side.
You needed to help me see my falseness,
on that awful fairground ride.
Screaming all through that savage year,
I came through knowing myself.
Of all the things you taught me last year,
it was to trust in nobody else.

Jingle, Jangle
Necklaces, bracelets, rings and things,
I jingle, jangle in the breeze.
Silver and crystal, antique and new,
ruby red to a bright topaz blue.
A wandering gypsy of previous life,
maybe a princess or a kings wife.
I wear my trinkets, they sing as I sway,
hear me coming and going away.

Jangle
The bells used to jangle as the front door opened, it’s a sound I’ll always remember, a sound that said someone had walked through the door.
The wind chime that hung above the door was one of the last things I took from my mums house after she died. It hangs on my balcony now, rusted from the weather. It doesn’t really jangle anymore, lack of wind on my balcony, I’m not sure, but the jangle of the bells will always remind me of home.

To Write with a Peacocks Quill
To write a poem with a peacocks quill,
do you think it would tell a good tale.
With deepest colours of the universe,
although none of these being pale.
Those green hues of Mother Nature,
bright blues that will heal every ill.
The eye of the feather watching on,
with enough parchment I could fill.
And what about my stories message,
would it resonate with everyone.
Would it be about the birds and bees,
or something much more fun.
Perhaps I’d write of love as I do,
so it jumps up and out so you feel.
There’s something about this plan of mine,
to write now with a peacock quill.

Joy of Nature
Joy can be found in natures touch,
immersion will bring a big smile.
Whenever your feeling a little off par,
into nature go spend a while.
Blend yourself with the colours you see,
let textures run under your thumb.
See the patterns and pointers they give,
as in nature you will become one.

Lessons in the Dark
Even the dark path can be the right way, when we learn from the mistakes we make. Some of the pathways we tread through life lead to dead ends, but in reaching them we learn something. Not all our lessons come easily, not all are taught in the light, some need us to travel through the darkness for a while.
Sometimes it doesn’t feel like the right way, sometimes we think there might have been an easier option, this indeed might be the case but not everything worthwhile comes easily. Listen to your inner voice, listen from within your heart, for only then will you find the right way.

Clouds
Does anyone else see faces when they look at the clouds, or is it only me?
Tarot Reading
These are the three cards I pulled today, I was pretty pleased with them.
The fool, I relate to him but he speaks of transformations and creativity. It’s about being ready to take a risk and the courage to stand my ground. Trust my inner voice and take a leap of faith.
Three of Disks, Employment of energies, body, mind and spirit. Clarity, the heavens are beginning to open and the clouds of uncertainty are clearing.
Art / Strength, transformation again, a quantum leap, creative power. Integration and binding together, death and rebirth, light and dark etc. Generating something new, giving birth. Looking within, intergration of opposites.
So there’s a rough outline of the cards. I’m sitting on the beach thinking about them and wondered if anyone fancied giving me a reading from them.
You don’t ask, you don’t get 😉
Tether
So go tether me up if you want to,
it won’t stop me from flying away.
Leave me out in the wilderness,
I’ll cope and get through the day.
I’m more than just that body see,
I go travelling within my mind.
You think you see me tied up there,
I’m gone, I’ve left myself behind.
I travel seas and mountain tops,
fly through skies of deepest blue.
Sometimes when your sleeping,
I’m there and come close to you.
I’m bigger than the body you see,
won’t fathom it with your mind.
A rope won’t ever tie me down,
you my capturer won’t ever find.
