Breathe…it’ll be ok
Each new day another step forwards
Go cautiously. Go boldly. Just GO!
Insecurities running riot within
Nothing to be gained by looking backwards
New life adventures lie ahead
Initial fears scream in my head
Noise I don’t need to listen to
Girl, you’ve got this
Stride out towards the sun

Reminders that summer is passing
Evenings are getting darker
Days, although they don’t feel it, are getting shorter
Berries of all colours Nature’s reminders
Everything comes to an end
Reminders that summer is passing
Reminders that seasons must change
Indian summer anyone? I’ll live in hope
Ever hopeful for just a little more of summer’s warmth
Seasons come and seasons go…

Trust should be cherished, never taken for granted.
Respect has to be earned then sustained.
Use your judgement wisely- once gone, they’re gone forever.
Spend a few extra moments in contemplation….
Think about the cost of blowing apart either or both…

Treading carefully among the trees, I search
October brings fairytales alive – if you take the time to look
Autumn leaves nestle round them, keeping them safe
Delicate gills on display
Spores drifting invisibly down to populate the soil
Tomorrow’s tales or next year’s? Time will tell.
Old haunts from previous years reveal this year’s crop
Old memories haunt the hunt
Lost in my daydreams
Searching for that fairytale ending

Blood red you hang in the sun
Enchantingly autumnal in colour
Reminding me that summer has passed
Reminding me that seasons change
Indicators of cooler days and darker nights
Emotionally I’m not ready for those…not yet
Selfishly I want to hold onto the warmth and the light a little longer

Summer’s end in sight
Ever hopeful of some late sunshine
Preparing for a colourful autumn
Trees changing colour before your eyes
Early sunsets create fiery skies
Memories of long light nights fading
Beginning to dread winter’s dark chill
Emotions in turmoil as the seasons change
Remembering…always remembering…

Who am I?
Or who do you think I am?
Meandering through life
Achieving quiet recognition as I go
Now comfortable in my own skin.

Silently meandering
No one watching or listening
Only the sounds of nature for company
Wondering what is to come…
Daydreaming of long light summer nights
Reflecting on the dark days of winter
Open to new possibilities
Praying for better days as I
Silently meander.

Mentally recharging the batteries
Emotionally clearing the clouds
And releasing all the pain
No set destination or direction
Drawn by the lure of the shore
Enchanted by the energy of the river
Rhythmic waves soothing the soul
Isolated from the wider world
Nothing and no one to disturb the daydreams
Grateful to have made it through another day.

Balanced on the smallest of blooms
Unique in her beauty
Trusting of the world around her
Terrified of what the future holds
Excited to feel free in the evening sun
Relieved that the rain showers have passed
Fragile to those to care to look closely
Lost on life’s journey
Yearning for something as yet unknown
