SLEEPING SOUNDLY

SLEEPING SOUNDLY

Sleeping soundly upon the ground

The softness of the grassy land

Which this tiny angel sleeps so sound

Her translucent wings

Lying to rest

Her fingers softly nestling within the grassy blades

There amongst the daisies that has made her daisy crown

Whilst this angel slumbers other angels will be watching over you!

Ensuring that you are safe and well

That those cobwebs of silk are a warming blanket

Wrapping around you like a jacket

Made especially for you

The lightest of touches, the gentlest of caresses

In knowing that you do not know that it is there

So slumber well for you can never tell

Who is watching over you!

THE LIGHT AND THE DARK

THE LIGHT AND THE DARK

There is a light and dark side

To all of us

A light that shines outwards

Externally

So obvious so clear

So bright so apparent

So noticeable

Unmistakably unique

It is the light that we show to others

Our mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters

And friends

Behind all the light

There is a darkness that cannot be seen

The one that can mean

All is not ok

The feeling of despair

Nobody cares

We hide in the shadows

The gloom and the doom

Here in a darkened room

Feeling the blackness

Reflecting

Dejected disheartened

Depressed disappointed

With life and things

A disenchanted

Disillusioned world

Seemingly black

Like a fog that won’t budge or dislodge

Remove it from

Mind, body and spirit

And this soul

There is a part that needs to reconcile

Settle, reunite, resolve, or merge

With the light and the dark

A balance is needed required

Equilibrium poise, stability, reconciling

The light and the dark

As one

With oneself

DANCING

DANCING

We are made for dancing

Boogying, circling

Twirling, turning

Spinning, whirling

Pirouetting

Just like a ballerina

With the greatest of elegance

Stylishness

So distinct, so different

In style

Yet we are made for dancing

Let it all go free

To the wind

Dance to the rhythm to the beat

The beat of your soul

Your emotions, your passions

Your own empathy with your soul

Your own uniqueness

Individuality

So go and dance

We are made to dance
