The choice

-
Moving
Slowly
Inching
Towards
The edge
Of reason
When No reason
Can be found
The
Abyss
Lies
Before
you
Stealing your Options
Despairingly stark
You feel quite prepared
To leap into the dark
You
Can
See
No way
Out.
When you
Jump
It is too late
NO chance to turn
Change your mind
A second split
No hindsight
The ill
The vulnerable
The fragile souls
No escape
Until
They succumb
No Amount
Of
Intervention
Creative minds
Full
Of invention
Will but delay
Never stop
Those who wish
To end this play
Don't despair
If
You
Are
Caught
By an
Invading maruader
Who grabs
Your thoughts
When
They
Tell you
That you
Are safe
Believe in them
They care
My friend
When the choice
To wait
Or leave
Is placed before you
Stay right here
If you don't
You cannot regret
What has went before you
Yet
Able to accept that somethings wrong
If those around you
Can be strong
Prepared to listen
To anything other
Than the invasive thoughts
Dragging you under

You have a choice
If you believe
That strength inside
Can be achieved

Despite the fight
You hope to win
It may just end
In tragic defeat
Sometimes
Demons
Cannot be beaten
Finding peace
Is so hard to do
I would much rather
Be there for you
Than observe you passing
Beyond my sight
A nightmare visiting
Everynight
Cold and lonely
In the ground
No redemption ever found.

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

Anxiety threatens security Compounds the stress Optimism demands you be positive Outlook confounds dismay Should we expect failure? Love and laughter Or tears and hate Kindness follows you If you give of yourself without looking for consequence Receive in kind if luck prevails upon you A truth of life The Good of you honoured so You realise more of your worth When kindness favours you Avoid the scumbags They will drag you under Out of breath You cough and splutter True to your self The Air is clean Oxygen Not monoxide fumes. Plagued by misery Stuck in their own lives Choking on the misfortune of others They are sometimes victims Of a life less fortunate Adventurous Or cautiously treading Fearful of the world out side of windows Most going by are truly honest Wealth is determined Not by cash Abundance in caring For everyone Fills your wallet and your pockets Helps the old cover a draught Create a smile and a laugh Not a tear in hungry bell
