In that place where #quietus covets will
& ills the wind that blows life’s sails,
Stop
Breath
Close your eyes
& listen
To that voice buried deep
By woes heavy.
It is there
Calling out
Telling you
You have come this far
Tomorrow is another day
You will
You will
Find a way

His abrupt manner caught her attention.
He marched by, as the woman he summoned stood up and followed him out.
She wondered if that was their norm
He speaks and she follows
She remembered the bad old days.
The #forbidden.
And was reminded
Of the freedom
Of being single
#vss365
Betrayal cuts.
Sharp sand cutting into innocence.
Strolling
In a false paradise
A willow dips into serenity
Absorbing life
Searching for peace
Amongst fallen deadwood
The telling of secrets
The ultimate betrayal
The ultimate #deadfall
Be strong
Find a way
Start again
#vss365
Deep in grieving heart
#Smoke cast vast cavern
Where It tore her body apart.
Addiction's yearn,
It turned her centuries old
bid cancer start its viscous fight
Until finally beating her to stone cold.
Mother, you can you hear me?
I miss you, oh how I miss you.

She mused about life & her choices-&what possessed her!
Mistake 1
Putting on rose tints
Mistake 2
Adjusting them to fit desired view
Mistake 3
Keeping those rose tints on-even when the sun had set & there was a chill in the air.
Mistake 4
Not listening to your #mother#vss365
Can you feel it
That roar within,
When spirit fights
To rise up.
When your heart drums
& lungs skirl
Piping
Get up..
Let the music #cradle
Let it rouse your soul
Let it be the beat
That reawakens your will
To start again
U can
Yes
Yes
U can

She sat
Amidst Summer’s frolicking.
&mused
Not about the now
But of her final day
&about her afterlife
Where-perhaps-that might be
She thought
That if she could choose a place
There could be none better
Than to be at one
With Mother Nature-4 her spirit
Is #evermore free
#vss365
She sits
Hawthorn hangs heavy
Rain has taken toll.
The weight of it
Petals strewn
Across springs eager
&in that place
Where buds are #falling
She is reminded
Of nature
Of mycorrhiza
Of life,
And it’s Wood Wide Web,
& connections out there,
More precious
Each & every day
#vss365
Reminiscing
She saw her past
As a garden of flowers
Some days
A blooming #victory
Others battered by storms
She thought of her memories
As bees visiting,
Here then gone
Her mind hovered
Over the present
She’s been stung
But she’s still here
Awake &smelling the Roses
#vss365
It was oft a #gamble
To believe his latest intentions
Abstention
#Sobriety
Sanity
Sometimes she was right
Other times
She was oh so wrong
She was a warrior of sorts
Not Amazonian
But an everyday keep trying warrior
Experience taught her
2get back up&
Try
Try
Try
Again
#vss365
When there is no where else left to run.
And anxiety sucks the light
From #midnight’s sanctuary
Life can dangle
On the edge of decision
Go to a place
In minds eye
Where you can find your own light,
Let it shine - oh so brightly,
To illuminate you
Toward a new beginning
#vss365
Out of the blue
A late night text
A thank you
Anxiety’s #Primitive response overwhelms
This thank you
Is for a kindness
Given in the distant past
It’s arrival out of the blue
Threw her back
To fiery times.
But then…
Holding fire burns
Letting go she text
Thank you
#vss365
Percy the pigeon
That’s what she called him
Was visiting again
&peck-peck-pecking
A #Wondrous sight
Pulling the undergrowth
&being quite pernickety
About twigs
He’s building a home.
She mused
It needed 2B just right
Much like her own home
We’ve more in common than not!
#vss365
On a still day
#Remnant’s of a distant past
Lay quiet beneath summers folds
She sat quit still
Thoughts of what could have been
Fluttered by on a painted lady.
The old Cottoneaster let go some berries
Deep red
Ensuring blood lines.
She sighed
Stood up
&carried on her day
#vss365
The text read urgent
Her heart sank
Sometimes it’s difficult 2 focus
When U fear the worst
#Addictions#gravity
She took a moment
Took a breath
&sat down
Good news-or bad
She’s learned
The value of being prepared
2day’s text was good
Relief
Then she carried on her day
