From the Heart
Unpredictable you, your after my lunch
I see that your nearing, I hear pebbles crunch
I know that your beak is as sharp as a claw
But if I give you a bit, I know you’ll want more
There’s chips over there and fish in the sea
Children with ice creams, you can scoop can’t you see
The beach is so crowded, there’s plenty more food
Stop staring at mine, it’s unpleasantly rude
😉
You are the inspiration that I channel as I write
In between, when I’m asleep, you visit me at night
Can I convey with accuracy, interpreting as I do
I do my best to express, the messages from you
If only I had bigger words, to get across the point
It worries me a little bit, that I should disappoint
Am I unpredictable, I seem to come and go
But you return to me again, I think that you would know
Are you really truly there, I guess it could be me
A higher self, the one that knows, suppose I’ll wait and see
I know your right behind me, you’re only out of sight
I feel your presence often, it feels so very right
You walk across my forehead, gently touching me
I think a bug, then realise, it’s you I just can’t see
I asked you to come back to me, before you went away
It was my only option, because you had to go that day
So you visit me now quite often, your always very near
I hear you and I feel your love and hold that very dear
If only I could see you now, would that fulfil my dream
To touch you and to talk to you, that would be supreme
I’m happy that you come at all, it fills me up with joy
To know that you’re still by my side, my gentle little boy
It’s scaring me now, you’ve been gone so long,
time passing too quickly, it feels very wrong.
I need to wind back the clocks, to remember the days,
as incredibly clear before you went away.
I’m feeling so frightened, that you’ll leave my mind,
with your face disappearing, then you left behind.
I’m trying to hold on to our time here as clear,
the smells and the touch, I’m just needing you near.
I’m remembering now, love and laughter we shared,
please visit in dreams, I don’t want to feel scared.
Please do get in touch, let me know your still here,
then stop time from moving, it’s nearly two years.
I dreamt you were dead, withered and dry
You left me alone without saying goodbye
Shrivelled and drooped you gave up on us
No longer proud, with strength I could trust
Your sweetness of smell, turned to a musk
Blood red of your colour, now memory just
My nightmare continues, it goes on and on
I can’t say goodbye, I’ve loved you so long
Tears they will fall, the memories may fade
But not for the moment, we still have today
Then on the compost, you’ll come back again
Feeding the good earth, how you’ll remain
But just for tonight, please stay here with me
My roses, my beauties, you showed love to me
The tides are finally changing, the day is coming near
Time to put ourselves away, to hold our loved ones dear
The earth is being questioned now, can we get it right
Have we really played our parts or put it out of sight
The ozone is depleting and the rain forests so small
Time to make the changes, for the good of one and all
So shall we come together, for the good of all mankind
The creatures and wildlife we will also bare in mind
To recycle all our bits and bobs, put away our pride
It’s only us can do it now, we have to turn the tides
So every individual, can take this challenge on
We need to make the future sure and need to make it long
I’m struggling to find the words today, I can’t really get them out.
I stare at you so vacantly, your wondering what it’s about.
I’m wishing to be unique today, to you, that’s me and not us.
I’m finding it so difficult, adapting me and adjusting to us.
A storm in my mind and wind through my soul
Gales blowing through, destroying what’s old
Washing the particles, that are no longer me.
An explosion of laughter, I love what I see.
…
A tempestuous bang and an almighty crack
My surroundings light up, it’s not an attack
I clearly see now, through the eye of the storm
Those outdated attachments, I no longer adorn
…
The currents are settling, the swell it subsides
The emotions I had, washed out with the tides
Turbulence vanished, a smooth ride in sight
It’s all now a memory, I move on with my life.
Your looking very messy, I’d say you need a trim.
Overgrown, I do suggest you hold the middle in.
Fashion fashionistas would say you have let go.
Maybe true, you do look odd if that’s really how you grow.
Then your an individual, you like to be yourself.
Very understandable, but you have to mind your health.
Following your own journey, it’s really up to you.
As long as your expressions, are what you feel are true.
Don’t we all have to follow our own paths and remain true to ourselves. So I thought this little tree looked silly, but then again some might think I look silly, say crazy things have weird beliefs. I maybe a bit off centre, head in the sky and heart on my sleeve, but it’s what sits well with me that matters.
I had my hair cut and styled yesterday and the colour touched up. It didn’t really change me, maybe on the outside and maybe I walked a bit taller for a while but fundamentally I’m the same person I was before I walked into the salon. It’s the inside that is important and the parts of that we share with the world, our friends and family.
I would imagine this tree makes a great hiding place, a shelter for small animals and a nest for birds. Just because it doesn’t look so great doesn’t mean it’s not any less valuable. Walking past the tree yesterday, I suppose it spoke to me also because I stopped, took a photo and thought about it. So I thought I would share it on here to see if it resonates with anyone else. I think the message is be true to yourself, be kind to others and be magnificent!
The tiny pebble bright and shiny, glistening in the tide.
Round because seas have worn the rigidness of sides.
The pebble has been bashed upon the rocks of many years.
The sea has worn the pebble out, through servitude and fear.
But the pebble has excelled the test, it’s really won the day.
As on the shore it is settled now, it’s crystalline today.
