You.

-
I could not be you
Take away the pain
I just had to watch
Helpless
Driven nearly insane

I wish time was a healer
Could be put into reverse
Drying your tears
Seeing through your eyes
Stung by incomprehension
But knowledgeable still
You knew it might happen
But hoped it would never occur

I wish I was me
Free from your sorrow
I'm weak and I know
Sometimes life is just borrowed

I am only I
Never can I know
Just how you felt
Slow motion surreality
An existence so shallow
Filled to the brim with excesses of sorrow
The best of hopes only have a chance to arrive
If you're still alive tomorrow


...

I wish I was you
To carry the load
Even for a short time
Till the worst of it ends.
We met for a short time
My time will come also

Now fly with the wind
Your heart is free
Sometimes
We are far from home
It was too hard to stay
Take care young explorer
We will meet again

Those who tried to guide you
Onto solid ground
Steady your ship
Help you stand proud
Will keep trying to help others
In the ways they know how
I hope we have learned
That sometimes no matter what
The decision to leave
Is too strong to stop

Now you are dead
Free from your pain
Sleep well in the other place
Summer for ever
Sweet is the air
The sun on you forehead
The warm wind lifts your hair
Running quite freely
With those who went before

Those left behind will forever mourn
Sadness envelopes
The strongest of men
Never forgetting
A young one has gone.

Fight for your life.

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
