New You

A poem

One single moment in time A you new to creation Dreaming is no crime So leave the train station And all you know behind A mindful, thought vacation Take this as a sign To try out new sensations

Open up your mind To new, fantastic ideas Here, there, you will find Your feet are firm for reasons Soon, though you will fly Don’t forget the season As you lift and glide On angel wings to freedom

Lately, I have felt the weight of the world dragging me down. I have gotten used to the isolating for Covid, which kind of concerns me. It’s easy these days with all the negative out there to lose perspective on life. We turn into little, isolating, emotional bombs, ready to erupt at any minute. We need interaction. We need each other. But it’s hard in the midst of this health crisis to be able to find ways to spend time together. We all need physical interaction; a simple hug can go a long way. But right now a hug can be dangerous. So what to do?

Writing helps me sort through my thoughts and emotions. Sometimes, I think of it therapeutically, letting the words flow from deep within and heal all the broken pieces. Writing is just good for the soul.

Here is another piece I recently wrote about loss and memory. I hope you enjoy!
