How do you relax?
I relax badly
Meditation is hard
I only remember to
When I’m falling asleep
I suddenly think relax
Then wake up again
Tense and stressed
And have to try again.
Meditating?

Life affirming stories
What brings a tear of joy to your eye?
You know the type of story
You find a rose on your doorstep
Unrequited love?
Years later
After a long illness
And sad losses
The person who left it
Falls over in front of you
Conversation ensues
You find out
It was him!
He was nervous
He couldn’t tell you
We must get together
30 years of waiting
True love took its time
But eventually
Struck!
Heartless
Where did you go?
I have invisible memories of you
I notice at night
It’s as if you are next to me
Silently I listen for you
But only hear the cat, snoring quietly
I do feel watched over
After more than 40 years
Gone in an instant
I would love to have you back
If it would mend my broken heart.
Don’t ask!
How are you feeling right now?
I just want to be well
Not feeling low
Tired and fed up
Don’t do this?
Be careful not to…
Avoid salt
Don’t eat cheese
Remember to wrap up warm
Think calm thoughts
Measure your blood pressure
Check your eyes
Don’t eat too much…..
And pray to stay alive each night!
Stretch
Paws stretch out
Greeting me
Just saying hi
It’s nice to be
Warm and relaxed
On a cold evening
Wind swirling
Late August
Good night.
Paws of love
He purrs, he sits, cheek rubs my hand.
Paws outstretched.
Then one paw reaches out to me.
A greeting, saying are you OK?
Cats know when you need love
They express feelings, you can see it.
Little nudges of his nose against my hand.
He will sit on my knee soon.
Looking after me.
Being ill is tiring.
Looking out of the window
Trying to stay strong
Just getting tired
Need to get along
Finding it difficult
To stay awake
Not blogging much
Staying quiet
Feeling tired.
Goodnight.
Weakness overcomes
More bad news
Is my heart broken?
I have to find out..
A failure to function
I want to scream and shout!
How many more things
Can fall off, or break,
This last year has been awful
For goodness sake!
Each time I get over
One thing and another
Life comes and bites me
Will I ever recover?
2 cats
Last night two of my cats
Sat on the arms of my chair
Like little lions
What did I do?
Move to take a photo
Then one curled up
And went to sleep!
Bravery?
I decided to write a poem on a poetry page on Facebook. Here it is.
I would like to be brave and post something here.
But my poems are mostly spontaneous.
An explosion of thought on the page.
My mind dances around thoughts,
Spiralling into nooks and crannies.
Flying across the landscape of my brain.
Hopefully landing safely and intact.
