To get back into writing as a habit for my creative /expressive needs and to prepare to resume my children's writing course.

many rooms
Although we may feel
and sort of know
that none really know
I still feel
that all really care
to arrive at a heaven
when all souls can repair
a place of great light
a place of peace
we can share
The stories we read write
and plot plan
all taking us there.
As we share
all the threads of
our pathways of wear.
Worn through the common ground
tunnels to home
ladders and mindmaps
stairways we roam
repeatedly treading
the grapes of regret
till we distill the harvest
to arrive at contentment
we have not found not quite yet
As we grow older
we find that
the young find us just sweet
for we have let go
of that loftiness
deconstruct judgement's seat
Longing still to be children
invite all souls to still play
it is then
that we seek
a position to pray
Our knees may no longer hold us
though our eyes seek the light
So good each new morning
as our breakfast
still calls us to taste see and delight
More a rest place than any
we have known when to bed
we are tired when we stumble
to dream and untangle some threads
to 'make sense'
of just a little more life
yet the morning makes clear
that its not our acquisitiveness
that is keeping us here
its the wonder of every fresh breath
every recognized cause for cheer
so we wish ourselves joyfulness
and we send up our fresh pleas
a fore I take breakfast
recognize all I've received
meditate n say thankyou to God
beyond measure that I ever had me two knees
and a nose for such a life giving breeze
and the hope still of sharing
this vision of this common church
knowing others are waking n bathing
some less routinely
some far less rehearsed
for although our intellects egos and thinks bubbles
assert that they know all
and we share a new word
'mindfulness'
its in waking up to the moment
fresh n juicy
is all.
My friend Doctor Frederick
said 'wisdom is life that knows that its living'
So choose life in this moment
may you welcome love's bliss,
Are your eyes moist or grainy
or a little of both
are they open and reading
the light of the screen of this
moment of posts
post your moments for other
take some selfies
or blog
look around at your room from
the mind's clearing fog
see things you'd forgotten feel the blood in your legs
meditate simply by writing just you feel see n wonder at
so the freshness just never ends
we are moving together
together through life
its our journey together
so much to unpack from the joy
that we parcel
as 'present(s)'
and quite simply call 'life'.
When you colour your colouring book smell the wax and the wood
be aware of the paper and the ink they chose and the image may resonate more
if you should .Will you dip[ a briush in your tea coffee raspberry juice
or the mud from a puddle can you paint outsdie the lines turning should nots in to 'shouldlls'
inventing some pattern crayon rubbing some coins take a fresh piece of paper take a line for a walk
photocopy some patterns recollage all the threads it is playtime forever well until its time once more for bed
I had forgotten about porridge
haven'st ate for a while
just the smell in my mind's nose
just gave me a pleasant sensation
the taste has just made me smile
the taste of anticipation
I'll go look for the tin
it once contained Christmas biscuits
yet now there's oats there within
I have a little low salt and just a tad of semi skimmed milk
water n microwave and a sprinking of stuvia
and a spoon I will lick
Morning pages remembered inpsired to do them today
lead me to porridge
its sort of home
in a shared way
