My stride is long
I’m stepping out
Beyond projection’s gaze
Assumption’s trailing
Out of sight
Stumbling over a phrase
Doubt is packed
With worry and fear
And posted non-return
Potential’s cup
Now overflows
Possibilities at every turn
Choices float
Just within reach
I’ve stuffed my pockets full
My head held high
I ebb and flow
With the Universe’s pull
Loneliness
What do you want from me?
What is required of me
To bid you farewell?
I try to greet you
Embrace you
As I would a friend
Yet you turn your back
Uncomfortable in my presence
Why do you not face me?
Let me reassure you
That I wish you no harm
Only to release you
From your dark abode
To set you free
To wander content
In new surroundings
For you to see
We have no need of each other
Love always holds you, it will never hinder you
Love will always make you shine
Love will always carve a path for you
Love is your greatest friend; your most beloved
Love will always ensure you are following your true path
Love will be your beacon of light; ensure you shine brightly
Love trusts the process, it conspires with your soul
Love co-creates all of your dreams
Love grows with your imagination
Love wants what’s best for you; always
Love clears the way; it knows of no obstacles
Love requires no deposit
Love is the true certainty of your life
Love supports, embraces and ensures success
Freewill is the choice; the choice to live with fear in your heart, or with love in your heart. The latter will always protect you; hold you safe and uncover for you where you should be and what you need to do to fulfill your life purpose. All fear seeks to do, is pull the rug out from under your feet.
We’re alike, you and I
We speak the same diction
Both seeking recourse
From others misaligned fiction
We’re alike, you and I
We sway to the same beat
We inhabit shared space
In our hearts, we’re replete
We’re alike, you and I
We observe old traditions
We see what is missing
Make note of omissions
We’re alike, you and I
We seek the same freedom
To transcend ancient habits
And no longer be lonesome
We’re alike, you and I
We share the same vision
Of how life could be lived
Through intuitive concision
With only one note
He would tweet night and day
Just this one soulful sound
That was all he could play
He’d spend time alone
Just to work on a tune
But the same note emerged
Every day, night and noon
Nowhere else in the land
Was there such a sad bird
For no-one took delight
In the noise that they heard
Even worms, they would giggle
At this repetitive sound
Saying the rain had more rhythm
When its drops hit the ground
So he worked on his whistle
For all he was worth
And ignored when the others
Gave his nest a wide berth
Yet he longed to make friends
With the birds who could sing
To be part of their concerts
Have a spring in his wing
But he felt so alone
And had no self-belief
Yet with only one note
Could he convey his deep grief
Days and months he spent moping
Feeling sorry for himself
Then realised what he was doing
Was just bad for his health
“I may not be songful
Sing a sweet lullaby
But I’ve something to say
So I must hold my head high”
So he flew branch to branch
Telling all those who’d hear
“I’m the Best One Note Wonder
In the Whole Hemisphere”
I am ready
For your embrace
My own embrace
Now, far-reaching
And makes whole
The inadequacies
I believed were mine
That indeed belong
To no one
I have no judgement
In kind
That you will be anything
Other than you are
So join me
Knowing
That we belong
To ourselves
Before we belong
To each other
