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.
Lists
Scraps of paper
lie carelessly,
here and there,
marking my life,
my living.
the unfinished of it.
My mind flits and flies
to this and that,
while my lists
work hard
to hold my sanity.
And when I'm gone,
no longer needing thought
or doing,
they will hang in the air
like poems
of a life half done.
