Insomnia

Awakened by aching
Echoed by music
Part of me crumples
At the centre of feeling.

Longing for earth,
Release
and peaceful sleep

Echo

Life asks me
To see past everything
Past
The limits I imagined of myself
Past the images
and syntax of my mind
Into the quickening brightness
Of our heart
Lost in the roar
Of telling us about Love
It's brilliance
Unrevealed
Unknown
Unmanifest
Its echoes sounding
In every second
Anyone has lived


I love you

Single

Single singing sun
Inside of everyone
Comes to mind
When you and I
Connect up into one.





In response to Single this weeks OSI prompt

Tired

God my heart is tired today
Of giving so much love away
When so much learning in return
Is how to love yet be alone

I wish I held the words you said
They slip from me
Fall from my head
And God my heart is tired today
As so much learnt just slips away.

Little questions?

Am I brave enough for this?
Or will some truth
My acts dismiss
Out of hand
and out of habit
Let it slip
Instead of grab it
With both hands
and open heart?
Am I brave enough to start?
Will this little fire begun
Turn into the blazing sun
Of personal power
In every moment
Creating life
The way my heart dreamt?

Impossible Thing

I read a title a week ago
And it struck at once as true
The reality of my learning curve
Has been blown apart by you.



Tiny ditty in response to the prompt Blowing The Curve on One Single Impression

Day Off?

If nobody's going to be
checking today
I shall let both my children
do nothing but play
I shall listen to music
And frequently dance
I shall laze in the chair
Reading romance


The cooking, the cleaning
The washing can wait
We'll eat what we fancy
Off found party plates
Education and growth
Will happen by chance
While we listen to music
And frequently dance.


When we're not being checked on
By those in my head
Art books and manuals
For new toys get read
The boys laugh and giggle
At plots they advance
I mostly sing loudly
And frequently dance :)
