AN ODE IN DEED IS AN ODE IN NEED
AN ODE IN DEED IS AN ODE IN NEED Its New Year’s Eve......this years been sad When it’s finally over I will be glad I have to look forward and not behind Savour the bacon and cut off the rind There are things in life you can’t control Accept this as fact in your heart and soul Be thick in your arm and strong in your head Get up every morning and make that bed Then Look in that mirror...whose staring at you For this will decide how you‘ll make it through Don’t be afraid to pick up the phone Your not the only one that’s lost and alone Your not a burden but someone in need Choose that person carefully...help plant the seed Not of doubt....but more positive thinking Tip life’s scales.....your no longer sinking One small step and your journey is starting Keep looking forward.....anguishes departing Now this is where you have to decide Get off life’s train ...or stay on for the ride My only advice or guidance I’ll give Life is very much like a colander or sieve Be very Careful what you allow to pass through As the smallest things will matter to you Keep these memories tucked safely away As I know in time you’ll need to press play Make a difference in somebodies life A smile, an hello , it’s no trouble or strife The healing process is a Painful task Get out into the world and remove your mask Show your strength but your weaknesses too You’ll grow in confidence the latter become few Deal with life just one step at a time Cross off your list....as I have mine The last year of life was smothered in pain Every time I looked out.. just darkness and rain As a new year approaches, a glimmer of light Though I’m no where near the end of life’s long fight But No more advice it’s is my temporary stop Recharge my batteries...but half full is my pot. But a breather I need ....I‘ve paid a hefty fee So I‘ll focus on the people who are dear to me
The Beginning......not the end
The Beginning......not the end The storm had been approaching for some time, for longer than I care to remember. It seemed to be following my every move, no matter which road I took. I admired its beauty, it's darkness, it's ferocity and it's undeniable quest for destruction. I wanted to dismiss it, ignore it, convince myself it was my imagination or that I was some what delusional or paranoid but the clouds soon darkened and reality descended upon me. As the last remaining rays of light and hope dissipated from my soul I felt an emptiness shroud me. The time of reckoning had finally come, the storm could not contain itself as it unleashed its all mighty devastating blow upon my being. I finally blacked out not knowing wether I would or wanted to awake from its total annihilation. The smell of wet grass filled my nostrils and I felt the warm glow of the suns rays beating down on my face. In the distance I faintly heard the laughter of children........was this heaven. I slowly opened my eyes and for the first time in years I finally saw clear blue sky's and in this euphoric moment of clarity I realised without the end there could be no beginning.
