Language

-
Words will sooth us
For as long as they are spoken
As long as in caring
Sentiments unbroken
Healing through thoughtfulness
Observed as well meant
Listened too intently
Time is well spent

If we are to value
Each verse, considered
Provoking the mind
To remember an experience
A memory cherished
The words from a song
Or a book
Or from film
Poetry
Historically valued
By all who have sampled
Or studied or watched

Where were you yesterday?
When the world stopped turning
How did you feel
Were you sad
In grief stricken mourning

Did you sense joy
As happiness took you
Elated by life
Experiences shared
A play on words
Hard to ignore
A childhood story
Or fathers favourite film

We all have vocabularies
To varying degrees
All of us can muster a few words of praise
We are all capable
Or hurting each other
A word said in haste

Words will forever be
Part of our lives
When asking for something
Or when saying I Do to your wife
Placed in their positions
Well meaning
Polite

Convention dictates
When what we say is right
A moment of thought
 A pause for reflection
A deep breath inhaled
Decides the direction
Agreement or not

Use language carefully
The truth does not lie
A word spoken softly
A lover may cry
I once read a story
that moved me to tears
I once watched a movie
That filled me with fear

Newspapers
Magazines
Novellas
Or scripts
Conversations with strangers
Linguistic affairs.

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
