darkness has fallen
and I must weigh every ounce.
I must surrender to my emotions
not fight them
and let the night run its course.
There is a freedom in letting go.
There is a release.
I will sleep
I will walk
I will breathe
I will carry on screaming
until I laugh.

Play a game of catch
with the thoughts inside your head
focus on your breathing
and try though you might
your wild mind will wander off:
with the glee of a toddler.
Catch.
Return your mind to the safety
of the breath and so it goes.
Try and catch.

abandoned on the beach
my driftwood heart

my pineapple knot
of love, a created thing,
I tie and untie

navigation stars,
journey from anxiety
to the stillness: breathe

there is nothing left
but to enjoy the blue sky
and smile at the sun

the serenity
a chilly early morning
in the summer time
