Poetry
Over the years I have written poetry. It takes time to set oneself aside from all the loves and interests around you; the things that make every day bearable. I found it as difficult as any until I fell ill with chronic fatigue, During the years when I was laid aside, I found time to turn inward and let poetry form. It was cathartic to turn what so often felt dark, into something else, something that had meaning. And so my little book of poems was born.
​
It is colated in four sections:
Little Wisdoms,
Random thoughts.
Anxt,
The struggle against the dark of chronic fatigue.
An Uncertian Knowing
These poems were written while taking short walks during my illness and immersing myself in nature. They reflect the journey I have taken over many years away from traditional Christian faith towards something more universal.
​
Place
This consists of two poems. I look forward to adding more in my next colation.
Tomorrow
​
Tomorrow the never never land of today,
tantalising in its proximity,
promising the darling buds of May,
yet all to often exposing our stupidity.
​
We look at here with wonder in our eye,
like teh youth who brags the heroic tale,
or the dreamer who's vivid colours belie
the shadow that lurks beneath the veil.
​
We. cannot fight our demons until it falls,
or face all our tomorrows with honest sight,
or sense teh hope that linger in dark halls
to fight the false and bring the true to light.
​
But if we dare to mine our hidden sorrows,
we sill find treaure in our tomorrows.
