Invisible amid a crowd of thousands
Obscurity
Does her best to hide him
No matter how loudly he tries to call out
The throng he drowns in
Does not hear him


Individual
All alone
In a sea of faces
None of them known
I'd like to reach out
To all of the lonely
Show them the world
Social acceptance

There are those of course
Who choose to be alone
Living life
Never moaning
On their own simply strolling

It is Ok if that's their thing
But what of those that desperately seek
The approval of others
The hope to meet
Kindred in spirit
No wish to be meek

Social inclusion
Minus any confusion
Friendly regard
The outset
Not hard
Recognised by many, and more truly liked
Approval the drug
Allowing them to feel that life is all right

Every person that we meet in this short life
Is either a comrade
Or they may perhaps dislike
We cannot be admired or even cared for by all
If we were there would be no need to rise to the call
Life is not as short as they would have you believe
A day is a flicker
A decade lasts for years

We all know of people
That once friendly,
Have had to leave
Friendships are aplenty
Around every bend
Be open to experiences
Some relationships never end

Let us look out for the lonely
The isolated folks
Who need us to consider them
To show that there is hope
A life lived in darkness
Anonymous, unknown
Is not to everybody's liking
Silently thrown
Into frustration
Of watching them winning
Smiling, spectating
I've been there
It is frightening.

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
