Worth it

-
Overdosed on pleasure
Pain by my side
I sit here by the Irish sea
An age spent
Watching the tides
 
The breakers come
Amid the flotsam
A chill wind stings me
Sandblasted
But happy
 
Visibility
Hardly
My eyes barely see
Into the distance
Beyond my dreams
 
Imagination gives me comfort
As the winds blow strong
Tears flow freely
But not through sorrow
Blinking fast
I rub
My forehead,twisted, furrowed
 
It does not matter
That the sun doesn't shine
The clouds so low
The mists of time
 
A grey seal
Bobs her head
To catch some air
Barely noticed
Unless I strain
 
Does she watch me
Or am I vain
She does not feel
My winter strains
Her comfort
Would not sit well
To me a human
It would be hell
 
The muddy pathway
Through Physgill glen
Has brought me here
And home again
The memories lasting
Oh so long
Easily found
Within my brain
 
Closing my eyes
Where ever I am
I see those things
In life witnessed
Nothing mystical
Its just so real
Worth it now
And forever after
The Solway winds
That send a shiver
 
Peace and tranquility
With me ever
 
 
AGL

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

Be all.

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
