Life Lessons 8

Language does not always match how we feel, we cannot always put our feelings into words. Sometimes words just do not fit, there are not words that can justify the emotions we feel and we are left speechless. When this happens it is okay, the emotions are real. Language is a tool, a medium but not  everything. Sometimes it is only silence that can hold and make sense of the feeling.

A New Me

This year brings a brand new me,

I’m creating her from the old.

Casting away what I don’t like,

what still remains is untold.

Inside I think it’s much easier,

with a gradual change over years.

Now when I look in the mirror,

I’m ready to let go of the tears.

The path I was on has ended now,

I came to the end of the road.

I couldn’t sustain it anymore,

I was carrying such a big load.

Called it a day and I’m selling up,

I am culling from what own.

I’m planning to travel for a while,

before I find my new home.

I’m not sure how I’ll live my life,

but pressure won’t be as high.

I know that I want to work with love,

there’s lots out there I can try.

So if you have any tips from life,

please let me know your ideas.

I’m hoping what I have in front,

will be the very best years.

Marathon

I know I’ve passed the half way mark

and I’m on the homeward stretch.

It’s not a race that I’m running here,

but I guess you could call it a test.

It’s certainly called on resilience,

I’ve often veered from the track.

It’s a long and arduous race I’m on,

but there’s no use in turning back.

I’ll admit I’ve found it quite difficult ,

to keep on pounding on and on.

You see, it’s my life I’m running here,

and it can feel like a marathon.

Nature Lessons 142

Our constant thoughts prevent us from just being, they keep us occupied and away from ourselves.  Can you imagine a life without all these systems that keep us occupied, where like the flowers in nature, we can just ‘be’.  Flowers teach us to put away our thoughts and come into being, they teach us to grow.

Should I?

Should I cling to sanity, when that’s not how I feel.

Should I just plod along, when all around’s unreal.

Should I really just let go, if I just uncurl my hand.

Should I take a wonder, walk through another land.

~

Tell me to hold tightly, that it will all be over soon.

Tell me you’ll be with me, move and give you room.

Tell me to keep on clinging, maintain my grip so tight.

Tell me at the end of this, that my life will be alright.

~

I think I can cling on a bit, if you stay there by my side.

I think that I’ll believe you, I know how hard you try.

I think I might just make it, as I have got you along.

I think I’ll reach the other side, I hope it won’t be long.
