sobbing

Let me read it to you







sitting

quietly

in a corner

sobbing


tears flowing

down her cheeks

alone


mind searching

for a reason

confused

wondering

why did he leave

suddenly


joy

happiness

now all gone


crying

trembling

curled in a ball

inconsolable


others

ignore her

it’s like

she’s

invisible

One day soon

let me read it to you

One day soon the sky will be a palette of lilac and mauve and pink
the air will wrap itself around us like a comforting warm blanket
our senses filled with the sounds smells and taste of nature’s bounty

One day soon the troubles of the past will matter no more
And where chaos once reigned a new stillness will settle all around
Where sadness weighed us down a new joy will raise us up.

One day soon

my secret beach

let me read it to you

I sense silence. Yet all around I hear the sounds of nature. The shingle crackles and grates under my feet, the rhythmic whoosh of the waves fills my ears and the shrieking of a hundred gulls gives a voice to the deserted shore line.

Here I am alone. Yet my companion, this hidden secret beach, is here to wrap me in splendid seclusion. I am alone but I share my very being with the raw edge of nature.

Here I hear my own voice, though silent. Here my thoughts surround me. Here I am at one with myself yet enveloped by a greater force, one which allows me the freedom I crave whilst lifting me out of myself and cradling me in glorious isolation.

The beach is ever changing. Some days filled with wrath, others tranquil and calm. Some days the sea is an enigmatic aqua, another as grey as granite. I look toward the horizon and see my life uncharted. What lies beyond? Who can tell?

But here I can be myself. Unquestioned, unchallenged. Here I can think, consider, compose.
