the time of greatest quiet

It’s peaceful, this place I’m in, quiet, no hint of sound, still. I’m motionless, weightless, colourless, there is no warmth, no chill. I have no fear, nor sadness or joy, safe in my box of wood, released of my will.

Corners

I’ve never know how to hold you properly fold you, in my arms. You are so much bigger than me with such strength, and yet easily twisted and bent. I struggle and start again, and then again but get nowhere. I can see where you naturally flow but try as I might you slip […]

Too Little Time Left

Bark! Bark! Bark! The Garbage Man is coming! The Garbage Man is coming! Must get outside to greet, greet greet… Stumbling over his back feet running to the door…Bark Bark Bark! More like Huff Huff Huff as he shows his age, beautiful golden fur shedding in his wake. I just vacuumed for goodness sake! […]

Keep Dancing….

Dancing Quote 2 of 3: “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche I hope everyone accepted Friday’s challenge and had their own impromptu dance party this weekend, we had several, including one while playing golf…Always keep your ears open, there is […]

Take Off Your Slippers…

Today I almost left the house, in my slippers, so comfortable they are part of me. With this comfort there is no strain, no stress, no flexing of muscles. This comfort is good, good in slippers. With this comfort in life, you forget to learn, to stretch, to feel the joy of something new. In […]

Hidden Dangers

You hide, dark and frozen, camouflaged by sparkles and shimmer. Treacherous, dangerous. I sense you waiting, and tread lightly, Cautiously testing every step. Nervous and yet, I still smile, feel that moment of joy With the sky vivid blue shining above me, I’ve failed, I’m slipping, distraction will be my downfall. A pivot, a slither, hands […]

I know it’s here somewhere…

I’m in a state of curiosity, Of uncertainty, Tentatively reaching. It’s cold out here alone, The moonlight casting shadows, An owl screeching. It’s a time of possibility, Of probability, And I’m beseeching. A tear in my eye, I raise my head and cry… To all the gods, the powers that be! Help me find my […]

Ego – Part Two – what happened?

The day had arrived after weeks of prep and stress. I wanted to be early, I was late, the roads were a mess! An overnight snowfall was slowing everyone down. Bumper to bumper, slipping sliding, I had to get across town! Through snow and ice I arrive breathless but calm. As I’m saying hello, […]

Get Packin’

Outside, the light is bright and frosted I’m wrapped up like a baby, swaddled. Walking I pass others, they too are hidden our sense of fashion has been overridden. Cloaked in layers upon layers from head to toe, only my face is visible. I’m joyous in the winter sun then miserable, as the wind […]

Keep it Simple Sweetie!

It needs to be less, Less than before, Right now there’s too much It’s blocking the door. We can’t feel the air and we can’t move around. We can’t see the sky, we can’t see the ground! Break it down. Make it clear. Some has to go, there’s no room here. The issue […]
