My house you know,
is rarely completely
quiet
and almost always too
full
of stuff<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the goldfinch outside my window
are exactly the same colour
as the budding
forsythia<\/p>\n\n\n\n
at times, I am perfect peace
and contentment
while also,
uneasy & un
comfortable<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sometimes I am searching, seeking
slightly unsure
sometimes knowing, somewhat
certain
questions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
my aim
to remain open<\/p>\n\n\n\n
always as a mother
as a parent
as a lover
I rise and fall, in rhythm
with holding on
and
letting\u00a0 go\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
this time of year, I feel caught
between cleaning up outside
and the oh-so-necessary
cleaning on the
inside
breathing .. … in\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
space<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I suppose this could be
a metaphor
for me
caught between the two
consequence
of a scattered mind
too much traffic<\/p>\n\n\n\n
words\nto share, but where to pull from<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in most everything
I am reaching out and
pulling back
such is my nature
protection-ist<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am brave and I am strong
courage IS my everyday
never, ever am I
weak
except,
I cannot deal\u2026 with a dull pencil
and cantankerous computer<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sunshine is my salve
and kindness is my creed
love
is in me,\u00a0 and I
am <\/p>\n\n\n\n
in
it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
