No Illusions

I am under no illusion. Lately I have felt myself, The self I know…             Fading softly from view
The change is subtle,  my mirror reflects an image new.  Almost accusatory. How did we arrive so soon?

Collecting Pain September 23 2013

I spent the day collecting pain.

Accumulating containers

as I journeyed through my day.

Lost love, and life

Broken dreams

Faded memories

Unresolved fears.

As I focused on the pain

That I had gathered

It overwhelmed.

The containers had started small

but grew in size to accommodate.

Overflowing

Unlike turning water into wine.

There is no celebration.

Autumn 2013

Autumn

Lying down to sleep

Yawning seductively

Harvest complete

 

Tucking

Her gilt straw blanket

Oh so snuggly

Around mossy feet

 

Plumping

Vast Earth pillows against

Leaf loosening winds

Winter’s heartbeat.

 

Wrapping

Her loving mother arms

Around  belly burgeoning

With Spring’s birth seeds.
