A ripple in Reflection
Remenesing past time
I age through thoughts
And remember my climb
A force of nature
Chaotic as thunder
My eyes where wide open
And filled with wonder
Those fragile dreams
I hold on still
They shape my spirit
And forge my will
Those brittle days
poured with pain
I remembered my dreams
As They’d Shelter my rain
And As time goes by
I reflect once more
On chaos and wonder
Which made me soar
Scraped like flesh
And broken bone
Thoughts that bleed
You’re all alone
You have no hope
Or so it would seem
Your life’s a nightmare
And you want the dream
You wake each morning
Staring in the mirror
You want to be loved
So you want to be thinner
Starving guilt
By purging sin
Loneliness dictates
You must be thin
But what if your wrong
And What if I said
There is a healthier way
To live Instead
When you look in the mirror
See what others do
Keep saying those words
I love you!
Because beauty is within
That much I know
So I hope one day
You’ll let that show.
I recently wrote this poem while reflecting on life as a young teenage girl trying to fit in at school. as the years have gone on I have been able to start to understand my own thoughts and feelings so much more and this has brought me to the conclusion that when people say hurtful things it’s far better to try find understanding and forgiveness than to hold onto hurt.
Judgmental eyes
Stirred a broken soul
branding me strange
I’m No longer whole
If I could make you laugh
If I could make you Smile
would you leave me be
for a little while.
Wanting acceptance
And Yearning to be me
I whept for strength
And hoped to be free
A mind on the brink
With gossip stalking
Your Words they bleed
Why won’t you stop talking
You call me poor
And say I’m a freak
Cry baby cry baby
Why are you so weak?”
Your Taunting words
Is a reflection of pain
I wish you could see
You’ve nothing to gain
I’d say your heartless
But I know that’s not true
There’s kindness yet
Deep within you
My breath journeys towards Grey clouds that swirl through an ivory sky. Winters teeth now gnarl at the suggestion of warmth . The sweltering heat of yesterday is now but a memory . A time for rest animals burrow their homes and begin there slumber .
Streams filled with luke warm water along with the enticing smells of sweet pea and Heather have now faded. And the dark ebony of winters trees reflects against A murky puddle
With each step frosted moss crunches and crackles as I pass through.
As the days go by the air begins to change once burning it now starts to soothe. Amist the cold earth My eye catches the rich green of a single sapling, lighting the way to springs arrival.
My soul searches from a spectrum emotion. What is it to love? I begin to stumble and as I reach out, compassionate eyes steady me, revealing your soul. I see an omnipotent force of good wanting only to heal.
Hints of a question answered and I feel your compassion and I start to understand.
With shared vulnerabilities and past memories, we walk together, purging out pain and leaving footprints towards harmony.
A void that had once been filled with anguish and self doubt now replaced with hope and faith from your loving embrace.
Love sews its threads through this changing world.
This purest of emotion, graciously shared between our kin and strangers alike brings hope to a once bleak world. Surely this is to love.
I wonder, am I shaped for good? Or am I moulded for evil? Maybe I am somewhere in between; neutral like beige, endlessly watching as the world dances around me, allowing time to colour every inch of my Being? Am I an ever-filling canvas; aged with every colour of experience, every triumph, every failure, every pleasure and every pain? I still can’t help wondering, do I bloom kindness with the seeds of a pure heart? Or am I a withering light on the brink of darkness?
I wait nervously for a sign of life’s beginning. I ask myself will I leap into the jaws of adventure, the belly of the beast? Or will I submit to the temptations of mediocre living? Maybe I’ll confide with the wind and softly ask, will you help ease the burden and carry my hope?
I’ll journey back to you, my hurricane of dreams, and embrace your gusts while you guide me to my future…
As I gazed above, I asked the evening sky ‘Will I find true happiness?’
Shining back at me, amber speckled diamonds gently whispered. When the world is balanced the world is bright.
My question had been answered and I now understood the serene wisdom within nature’s lesson. I knew I must embrace balance in my life. In order to thrive, one must grow and in order to grow one must find balance. The darkness with light, negative with positive and the grudge with forgiveness.
Life’s recipe has made me who I am. Each ingredient; fear, love, joy, and pain has moulded me. I am sorrow. I am happy. I am balanced.
In awe by the serenity within I gaze upon your strength and time seems to become still. Like a frozen lake, You appear motionless But the wonders of diverse life continue to swarm evermore just below the surface.
Countles generations of nature’s children
You have given shelter, without judgment
And without hesitation. You endure our sorrows, and birth life to us all, While asking nothing in return.
Such Selfless acts shine the purest of love. Those who see you are truly humbled and embrace unconditional love .
For you are our Mother nature and we are truly blessed.
Stripped of life
Death advances
The broken bones
Of sturdy branches
Harvested life
roots torn by man
Amputating nature
Is paper all I am?
As the oaks fall
And the willows weep
Will you remember my beauty?
As you continue to reap
With my home now gone
Words bring only pain
A Silence follows
For only I remain…
Now a carcuss for a forest
Cut down for land
No longer will they shelter
No longer will they stand
Now you turn to me
Axe ready for the taking
With the forest now gone
Remember.. this was your making
I was once so tall
A wooden skyscraper
Now the plauge of man
Brings death to nature
love burned to touch
Fear suffocated the air
Infeno of emotion
To much to bare
A wave or relief
Dulls the frustration
But fear sparks again
Lighting anxious fixation
With Embers of whispers
Tears attack each flame
Scaulding hearts
And placing blame
A warmth of trust
Brings lovers together
But rumours that boil
Taunt not forever
A flickering optimism
Ignites in the mind.. .
truth found its way
For love is not blind
