CIRCUS

The show has started

Everyone is running around

Blue costumes, black costumes, Red costumes…heck now I see all colors of costumes

 

Everybody is running helter skelter

I don’t understand

What’s the rush?

Where are we running to?

When is the deadline?

 

Then I hear the music

The show has started

Everyone is running even faster

I hear music

I know that voice

That is 8 year old me…she was ready…she is ready now

Music & Strength fills the earth

Then all is quiet

And I am standing here wondering…wait what just happened???

WHOSE?

Sacred mornings...

All is divinely quiet...except the

Birds chirping 

Thoughts at rest...flowing..discovering...

Beautiful.

Warm afternoons...

Clean laundry dancing outside...a happy dance...

Toes curled and uncurled in the sun...

I am a happy girl.

 

Sacred evenings...

Those skies...I stare....I see sacred secrets held within...but the golden hues definitely have a tell...

It's a wrap

I am His.

How Does The Sun Rise And Set At The Same Time?

 

How does the sun rise and set at the same time?

Dear God….

Oh but what is life

A passing wind?

A shattering rainstorm?

Scary thuds of thunder?

Dead silence?

Oh but what is life

Fluttering hearts?

No more?

Here today, not there tomorrow?

Silent showers of rain?

Non-stop thoughts?

Lingering kisses?

Blood, sweat and tears? some perfume too…sometimes?

Oh but what is life

DAWN

  

As surely as the sun will rise in

 the morning, 

                    things will get better

As surely as the birds will chirp again in

the morning,

                    things will get better

Hold on, if only just for today, and in

the morning,

                    things will get better.

                                

UNBOWED

I was taking a walk today...and I met a soldier
Matching forward...confidently
So tiny yet so unbowed...uncowed
The weight he was carrying could very well be twice his own weight...
He marched forward...unbowed!

I tried to say hi...got no response...I suppose that makes sense,he looked so focused and busy
Wisely storing up food for the future...
Powerful in his own right, though tiny he might be
I have heard he will fight to the death before giving up,and in floods will fight to stay afloat...
He marched forward...unbowed!

I watched him march on...
As he neared the grass at the edge of the footpath, I arose
I rose up from my squat...like a phoenix rising from the ashes
I could feel new strength,joy,courage,hope and a new fire lighting up in me,I stood tall...
I marched forward...unbowed!

I FOUND JOY

 I found joy...

Yes i did...

 In the most unexpected of places...

Watching little Lindy smiling,giggling,laughing :) 

 I found joy...

 

Sucking on a lollipop...

Yes...a huge yummy sticky sweet ball of candy :)

 

 I found joy...

 

Lying on the floor,feet up against the wall,doing nothing...nothing at all...

I found joy...

In the most unexpected of places...

Find your little joys...

It's the little things :) always  has been...always will be!!!

Three Hundred Sixty Five

365 days of a roof over my head and a meal at my table... 

of being a daughter,a sister,a friend...

of sunshine and rain

 

365 days of self discovery and confusion

of setbacks and comebacks...

            of strength and fragility...

                                                                                    

             

365 days of laughter and tears...

        of right and wrong... 

                       of questions and answers...

                                                          

                   365 days of love and heartbreak...

                       of decisions and choices... 

                                    of loud music and silence...

365 days of fear and courage... 

                     of silly giggles and boredom...

              of the year 2011...

 

I have learnt that each day comes to an end eventually-whether it was the happiest or the saddest day of your life...eventually it ends!

365 days of my life just ended! Bye 2011. Hello 2012!

I pray a blessed 365 days ahead for you :) make each one count!

         Happy New Year!!!! Happy New Year!!!! Happy New Year!!!!

Love,Sue.
