From the Heart
What is more beautiful, the sunset or sunrise or could it be for you the deepest forest or the highest mountain. Each of these things calls to us individually, is beautiful in as much as it touches our souls. Beauty cannot be measured, it is of personal choice and appreciation. Each and every one of us witnesses the world in a different way, is inspired and fulfilled in different ways.

Find time in the day to be at one with yourself, find space and silence to sit and do nothing. To do nothing but clear your mind. Relish in the stillness you find there, breathe it in and become part of it. Be at one with nature, as the flower is in a garden swaying in the breeze of life.

In response to the Daily Prompt – Relish
We are all at different stages of growth, age is certainly a consideration, but so are our experiences as we travel through life. Some of us will face many challenges, that will, if we learn the lessons from them, enhance our growth and development. Others, who may appear to have an easy life, might be much farther behind because they have not shared those same experiences. We cannot judge others by what they know or don’t know because we all receive individual lessons connected to our own journey, each of our spirits grows at the pace as it should.

I hate it your so angry,
well that’s what you think it is.
you’re struggling to cope right now,
and really in a tis.
As I watch you wound up like a ball,
just about to burst,
You don’t know how to manage it,
and coping with the worst.
I wish that you could understand,
what is really going on,
your thinking that it’s anger,
I’m sorry but you are wrong.
What I see in you is absolute pain,
with a sadness deep inside,
but you can’t acknowledge it,
this might be your pride.
If you could recognise the feeling,
bring it up and say hello,
it might start the healing process,
and might help the emotion go.
But while you stay in angry mode,
with walls built high around.
It’s hard for me to help you see,
it’s sadness that we’ve found.
Your key is hanging on the hook,
redundant and unused.
And on the vacant seat you sat,
the cushion is confused.
The records on the turntable,
yet silence fills the air.
Your cup and saucer on the shelf,
brimming over with despair.
As I wonder through each room,
your waiting there for me.
Your all around this home of ours,
your in the air I breathe.
That day you turned away from me,
you left a part of you behind.
For you still walk throughout my days,
as a shadow of my mind.

Sometimes our feelings are buried so deep we don’t recognise them when they spring up. Extreme pain and sadness can come to the surface as anger, we don’t recognise the emotion. Sometimes the pain is too much to bare and it is easier to mask it, pretend it’s something else. Our feelings don’t disappear, they kept rising until we acknowledge them for what they are, only then will they pass.

The flower is not concerned by what others think of it or affected by criticism. The flower does not grow to please others nor does the flower emulate others in the garden. The flower grows in its own beautiful way, the flower remains true to the self and connected to source.

A moment of your time please,
I want to make it clear
If I comment on your writing,
I’m being quite sincere.
It means that I have read it,
turned it over in my mind,
I comment because I mean it,
not just trying to be kind.
So if I’ve made some comments,
it is me being true,
on poetry and other art,
the stuff that you like to do.
It means I spent some time with you,
that’s what I like to try,
Sometime you make me laugh out loud
and then you make me cry.

Does the flower know where it is heading when it reaches up to the sky, does it know its purpose and destination. If nature can tell us anything I think it might be reach for your dreams, be open to experience and give your very best.

If I could take you to your future,
would you want to go.
Would you walk the path with me,
to see what it would show
Could you find that dream in you
and take us both to see.
Could we step into that land,
what will you show to me.
If I could help you paint it,
would you use the brush.
Would you paint the scenery,
clear without any fuss.
Can you tell me how it sounds,
can you hear the tune.
Listen very carefully,
you’ll hear the music soon.
If you could introduce me,
to the people up ahead.
Would you hear their laughter,
can you tell me what was said
The futures but a step away,
you’ll see it’s outline soon.
Prepare your heart for happiness,
you must make sure there’s room.
