Darkness

I’m not afraid of the dark,in fact for much of my life I have sought it outbecause I knew that if I stayed there long enoughyou would eventually come for me. But now, in the darkness behind my eyes,I have found a new path to your door,which unlike mine is always open,beyond the reach ofContinue reading “Darkness”

Still

Do you rememberwhen I cried out in the night,when I called your nameand asked for help? Your answer cameas if from an ocean of peacein which everything had its place,and in less than a heartbeateverything was as it should be again. DF. 13-2-2021 1459

Soul

Love holds all the thingswe cannot bear until we areready to carry them ourselvesand when we do the love that has bornethem for us becomes part of our lives. When I share my doubts and misgivings with youit’s not because I want you to teach me, fix meor quote me some wisdom you’ve read,it’s becauseContinue reading “Soul”

Virus

We all knew it had to happen,we’d been looking over our shoulderswaiting for it to catch up with us for a long timeand even though nobody knew exactly what it would bewe all knew it wouldn’t be long. We were out of control and we knew it,we knew it would take something big to stopContinue reading “Virus”

Wind

Somewhere in the distanceI hear the howl of a motorcycleweaving through the city streetsand immediately I am transported to the moors,listening to the wind howling through the heather. Will you dance for me?Will you rise up and show me your beautyso that I can see it and feel it and know it in myself? PeopleContinue reading “Wind”

Home

I live in a forest,my senses are attuned to treesbut that doesn’t mean I don’t wonder at the skyor at the sunlight that pierces through the leaves,sometimes I even soar above the canopybut for now this is where I livethis is what I come home toand this is what I love. DF. 5-2-2021 1456

Plodding

There’s always a momentwhen, for some reason I cannot fathom,what was impossible becomes possible,when a thousand tiny doors open,space and light flood in and all my problemsdissolve into possibilities. It happened this morningas I was plodding round the park,my feet keeping time with my pedestrian thoughts,when a tiny speck of starlight took pity on me,fellContinue reading “Plodding”

Companion

Who can knowthe heart of another,the secret trials that we must bear;the love that never sees the light of daythe piercing hurts and the hidden wounds,all clanking and chafing together as we walk? Only one truly knows,one precious companionwho walks beside you as well as mewho knows me as intimately as He knows youwho lovesContinue reading “Companion”

Flight

You lifted me up like atiny bird with a broken wing,I weighed nothing in your handsand when you leaned forward to whisperyour healing words I could seethe pleasure in your eyes,I could see that that I have never beenanything other than you would have me be. DF. 3-2-2021 1453
