I'm halfway there!
In seven months I will have spent,
a decade of my life to ink,
from glowing praise to sad lament,
or cheeky rhyme with knowing wink,
and I have thought, of giving up,
discarding all onto a flame,
beginning with an empty cup,
destroying too, my silly name.
But that would be a foolish thing,
to cast a decade to the wind,
because no body heard me sing,
should not result in being binned.
It may take decades to the top,
and I may break my legs en-route,
but while we're living we can't stop,
pursuing out a sole pursuit.
Despite a swollen, broken foot,
from falling down a while ago,
I'll use my hands and climb eyes shut,
if that is how my climb must go,
we all have got a peak inside,
there's little point denying this,
and even if I fail, I've tried,
and trying brings an equal bliss,

Waiting for the storm to pass,
Mind overcome with what body lacks.

Losing
by Sarah Heart
New Life Story
What once was still
Is now gently moving
What once felt ill
Is surprisingly soothing
Fear of the unknown
Is suddenly
There's a beautiful rebirth
To set you free
Waiting to come forth in coming to be
Needing the touch of His life-giving power
by Lisa M. May
~ Rebirth ~
The season of
Winter
often lingers within spirit ...
Cold. Dark. Parched.
Outside world mirrors
"Another time, another age, rebirth"
Far beyond the glowing moon
flew a pure white crescent loon.
Passed the peaks of Carthanon
