Halloween is upon us
All Hallows Eve is here
Look out for galoshans
Look out for ghosts and ghouls
One, two, three or more at the door
Witches bide their time
Eyes carved into pumpkins glow
Every trick rewarded with a treat
Nearing midnight…now is the witches’ time to fly

What is your first thought of the day?
Where does your heart go to?
As the world comes into focus
I know where mine goes.
When were you last someone’s first thought of the day?
Does their heart reach out to yours as they open their eyes?
As the world comes into focus
I wonder where their heart goes.
Were you ever someone’s first thought of the day?
There’s a doubt over that in my mind.
As the world came into focus
Their heart always lay elsewhere.

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend …or are they?
I stared at my wedding rings emotions spilling over
And felt a fraud.
Marriage died a long time ago
Our vows cast aside in favour of adultery
Never did I break mine
Decisions. Dilemmas. Dichotomy.
Rings were tearfully removed, releasing the past.
I felt naked and lost.
New ring selected with self-love in mind
Giving myself permission to “marry” my future.

In meditative repose
I lie in shavasana, corpse pose.
Breathing quietly in and out through my nose.
Did I feed the cat?
Should I put on the washing before work?
Need to remember to call the dentist.
Oh.. and I need to add milk to the Tesco list.
And so my mind whirs on…
No quiet thoughts to be found
I focus on my breathing…in and out…
Seeking the stillness of the pose.
Need to remember to post that birthday card.
And I’ve to call the garage about the car.
Wonder what time my first meeting is today?
And so my mind whirs on
In meditative repose.
