Shieldmaidens – an acrostic poem

Sisters in spirit not blood

Holding space for each other

Insights previously unspoken shared

Engaging in rite and ritual

Love overarching all

Dancing and singing as one

Making friends for life

Always supportive

Instantaneous hugs offered

Dreams and secrets shared

Ethereal connections formed

No expectations, just love

Sisters in spirit not blood

Happy International Women’s Day

Shavasana (poem)

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.
