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…

I am tired of feeling sad.
I am tired of feeling low.
I am tired of feeling broken.
I am tired of feeling useless.
I am tired of feeling lost.
I am tired of feeling anxious.
I am tired of feeling worried.
I am tired of feeling scared.
I am tired of feeling fear.
I am tired of feeling the need to be strong.
I am tired of feeling.
I am tired.
I am….

Deep inside the flame burns quietly.
It flickers and dances as emotions fly by.
Some days its dim as reality takes its toll.
Some days it dances momentarily bright.
Even on the darkest of days its still there safe inside.
I nurture and treasure its warmth,
The heart of my soul at its core.
All that I am wrapped up within it.
Buried deep inside the light is me, the real me,
Tucked away safely,
Protected from reality,
Tended with love and patience,
Until the day comes when the flame can blaze brightly once more.

Another sleepless night
Nausea sweeping through me
Xanax sitting untouched on the nightstand
I will beat this
Every movement’s an effort
Teeth even ache in my jaws
Yesterday still torturing my mind

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…

Page
Blank…
What are you hiding,
In those empty lined depths?
New worlds waiting to be revealed.
Old worlds waiting to be revisited.
Young love ripe to for exploration
Relationships that bloom,
Then wither through time.
Goodbyes to be said.
Laughter to light up the world.
Tears silently being shed.
A myriad of possibilities beckon
As I pick up my pen.
The writer’s blank canvas awaits.

At the end of the day
As I watch the sun sink lower in the sky
I sigh…
It’s a weary sigh.
At the end of the day
As the sun’s warmth fades away
I sigh…
It’s a weary sigh.
At the end of the day
As the shadows lengthen around me
I sigh…
It’s a weary sigh.
At the end of the day
As night wraps around me like a cloak
I sigh…
It’s a weary sigh.
At the end of the day
As I watch the moonrise in clear night sky
I sigh…
It’s a weary sigh
At the end of the day
As I settle down to sleep til dawn
I sigh…
It’s a weary sigh.
Tomorrow’s always another day…

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…
