The simple things


 

 

 

 

The smell of fresh cut grass 

Brings reflections of childhood 

Oh how the time does pass 

It's the simple things in life that mean the most

The struggle

being a mum to fiercely independent son, who never listens and is the joy of my life


I move it, bend it, straighten it, twist it round.....

no use

this thing is so inflexible

I take a deep breath,

More strength, greater effort

tenaciously I hold on and give this all I have...

No use...

It...

Ashes Rise

life inspired


Ashes Rise

twisted friendship

your laughter to bring me 

to an end

this 

is only the

beginning...

Complete

Jilted at the alter, miscarriage weeks later and deep depression and attempts at life. I finally come through it, to real love.
A loss, a heartbreak A loss. Time heals, they would say Time’s up. Hold on, don’t lose grip Slipping. Pull back, back to life Pointless. Reason, find one quick Found it. First look, a giggle Heartbeat. Yellow, a car ride Happy. Marriage, she’s not ready Too soon. Sorry,...
