Lovely



She was lovely,
They said.
She was beautiful,
They said. Inside and out,
They said.
She was full of "cliché" kindness,
Her heart lulled her friends, and
She was ferocious, and brave
They said.
She made people smile, she grew, she connected.
She was open and wiser than they knew.
She could see beyond words,
She could feel beyond touch.
And those who first met her,
Fell in friendly warm love.
And the most remarkable part?
The "she was" became "she is"
As her gifts inspired others to be.
And they then said that she too,  was lovely.

One Thought Away

  One Thought Away One thought away from loving you It's always fresh, it's always new I want to share, you have no clue That I'm One thought away from loving you She lingers in the other room And listens to her favourite tune Please sit a while we'll be there soon We'll fall in love, under nights new moon We'll walk along, our hands clasped tight Down loves slow lane, throughout the night Our breathing deep, no end in sight With stars upon us, shining bright My gaze is deep, her sky blue eyes She looks I wait my thoughts surprise As we draw closer, our heartbeats rise We'll stay forever, or until sunrise She delights and dances as I walk by Her soft skin glowing, in the morning sky We'll love in laughter and sometimes cry In a field of flowers we shall lie And throughout the forests and in the town We'll call on spirits, won't make a sound She'll bring her heart, from what she's found And spread it like honey all around

Overcome

  Overcome   I take a sip, it’s smooth, it’s warm Then the window steals my thoughts Completely lost in the wretched storm The songbirds have been caught   Though not surprised, my cup in hand Shaking like torrential breeze Like strokes of lightening upon the land Illuminating ease   I spill a little, stain my sleeve of white Burning thoughts into my skin The sun no longer, clouds dark as night The rain begins to win   I close my eyes, to ten, inhale Then presence takes its place The air smells sweet, no longer stale Calm thoughts in my headspace   The heavy rain like music sings I sit back now mollified The storms exist as little things Answers come from deep inside   And so, I drink my cup of tea Songbirds are now released Each moment like leaves upon a tree Blusterous, and then find peace

"The Interview"

The Interview So - you've stumbled onto another "newbie" blog.  Well, this blogger is so glad you did!  But I expect, that with this being the first blog in "Peace of Mind", I am at the mercy of your initial evaluation, like a short interview and I will need to catch you with my fancy words, terminology, ideas and presentation.  I will need to resonate with your own thoughts and spark an interest which ignites an opinion, creative thought or relatable experience. After all, isn't that why we read these things to begin with? Interviews are typically arranged by the submission of a concise, professional resume followed by contact, and then results in a connection that focusses on a huge sell and a careful evaluation.  So, to that I will share my resume with you the reader, over a period of time. With ongoing writings and growing connections, the resume will show itself.  You have already fulfilled the "seek and contact" step and we know that conn
