I’m a little scared to visit, Mama,
‘Cause I’m not sure who I’ll find;
A face that has a ‘knowing look’,
Or a lost and puzzled mind.

Take my hand
Posted in Many Paths Many Voices
Let me take you by the hand,
Feel my touch and understand,
That I will never let you go,
While you peacefully slumber so.
Hide and Seek

Coming ready or not, you call,
And I scramble one last time,
To find a dark secluded spot,
That I can claim as mine.
Oh Mama

They say, they can’t control her,
I say, let her anger have its voice.
They say, she cannot be contained,
I say,
Her mind is a cage.
Let her spirit be free.
Lonely Bay

Why are ye named, so Lonely Bay?
Alone perhaps, but lonely, Nay!
How could this be, you have the Sea,
And all that’s wild and all that’s free.
Return to Lonely Bay
Posted in Many Paths Many Voices
Lonely Bay, we meet again;Two long years have passed,Since I last gazed upon you,With sadness in my heart. I wondered then, “Why lonely?”Alone perhaps; that’s true.But lonely? Nay, that could not be,‘Twas me just feeling blue. That day your beach lay empty,No footprints to be seen,And something deep inside me,Recognised…
A Year to Remember
Posted in Many Paths Many Voices
A year to remember,
Or a year to forget,
A year full of hope,
Or a year of regret?
Coming Home
Posted in Many Paths Many Voices
And the wildness of this place,
Unleashes the longing in my soul.
To speak my truth.
For I am known here.
And that is all I can ever hope for.
And that is more than enough.
Borrowed glasses
Posted in Many Paths Many Voices
I peer at you through borrowed glasses.
Inexplicably, I have left mine behind.
Magnification doesn’t bring you closer.
Rather, you are blurred. Out of focus,
I’m knotted up inside
Knit one purl one
As panic starts to rise
Slip one drop one
Tears betray my eyes
