Far away.

The fragile heart can never be unbroken
When shattered beyond repair
one million tiny fragments
destroyed and filled with real despair

Many different reasons
a multitude of horrors
be it love gone suddenly
or a nation that does not care
visions of atrocities
witnessed and not compared
to anything you will ever experience
from a comfortable sitting room chair

resilience is an easy notion
when all you've had to deal with
is unemployment or poverty
debt or western fails
1st world problems
a lack of social care?

if I lived in war torn lands
i'd roll over and die
But only after I'd made my stand

hide behind my soft hands

the pampered scots heart would break with ease
my biggest worries handled, please!
no matter how bad you think things are
to experience those horrors you'd have to go far
drive for weeks
in your modern  abundantly available lead free fuelled car

tears well up
i want to cry
when people drown
or infants die
as we; so wasteful
simply sigh
and state revulsion
from way up high

broken hearts
don't make me laugh
real time issues
from centrally heated authority provided high rise flats
where losing the remote
is one of life's tragedies
or a broken pipe
keeps you from the lavatory

get a grip!
keep on moving
at least your'e alive
free to gloat
stubbing a toe
breaking a nail
get a skelf
at least you are well
allowed to live on the outskirts of hell
protected by lies and deceipt
government tells you all is swell
while killing civilians with poorly aimed shells.

The soft sand ridden muddy path Under my feet Is cushioned for me by sturdy black boots Sloppy, slick slimy navigating as every part of my leg plays a part in keeping me upright Sinews twist, the cramping ageing muscles uncomfortably held in kilter Heading for home Light retreats The ever arriving daily dusk clocks in I can't see the car quite yet. This place takes me away But only for a short time Drudgery Routine Work Though enjoyable Wears at one Through time, burdened by the worries of others Chinks appear, cracks of darkness on a golden life Wandering, watching  twigs may snap Wind blown pine trees sing in high pitched terror Birds dart Rabbits unseen? But for borrows Buzzards soar A red kite adorned a fence post Squirrels elusive Watching Just in case I might see one race by Even in the periphery of either eye A busy head is a safe head? Freedom from worries Eating and gnawing Snatching at anything that will offset these thoughts Let th

Physgill. Watch the swiftly feeding swallow Sun outside But not it in the hollows Of the shrubs and the greenery Fresh cut lawn Hydrangea, Rose Honeysuckle aroma The fields with the peas, A sea of swaying green Moves like an ocean The sound of the trees Moved and being shaken By the summertime breeze Cattle in the drive way Pheasants shouting loudly The deer are cautious Barn owls swoop in darkness Caught by car lights Badger scurried across the road Foxes rare The game keepers gun. A lamb down a tree trunk Discovered by Rosalind Pulled out by a farmer Care for injured falconry Rescued for love Of all that was around us The freedom The tranquility The sea and the solway Not too far away The Glen with her garlic Appetizing rambling Down to the shore Where pebbles and boulders You arrive at the bay. The cave has a host A man in a smock Ninian the monk Later canonised Who sat in meditation Considering faithfulness Sheltered from harm. C

Positivity explodes from every pore Despite my doubters This year I'll do much more More for others if I am able More for my family Food for our table. Be all Be everything Reach for the star's Grab opportunity When it comes along Don't be fearful of anything If you can't see it It's not there Resolutions are a misnomer Bound to fail unless Heroically striving You can drag your self from bed Failure makes you hurt inside Disappointment is the foe When February roles in Defeated You'll weep inside Lie low Avoid the gaze, the question's About The intentions you shared before So this year I'm not trying to change dramatically My aspirations will be tempered Measured in a way My mind is set to a default I've probably had before Self doubt is now the enemy Belief in me is raw Attraction Is the focus Bring it to myself Ignore the dampened shadows That have me running scared True to me and the possibility That wha
