"To My Foster Father"

In 2000-during Psycho Drama/therapy-I came across -for the first time-my need to begin to grieve for these people who had 'taken me in'. Today-as I look back upon my childhood-as I travel through the pathways- back through time--- I see you,oh so clearly,all around me-so vivid and so vibrant on my... Sign in to see full entry.

This is a place I would like to get back to!!!!

"I Stopped Smoking Today" You have served me well-my parent,my teacher,my guide. You were my inspiration-when my voice ran dry. When my mind was troubled-you brought me peace. When I sweated with fear-you put me at my ease. You've been my very best friend-right there by my side. I knew where we... Sign in to see full entry.

"I Knew ot 'How' or 'When' or 'Where'.

Once it dawned on me-(during therapy)-how f------ wrong I got my role of ' Mothering'-I wrote this. The grounds are shifting,deep beneath my feet-my world is changing--- internally! Old roots are dying,new shoots are trying-to breath new life in me. Old friends I trusted,I felt were true and... Sign in to see full entry.

"Monday"

Another 'oldie' from therapy. Like a bolt from the blue-you left me-I sat there so empty-so still--- as the tears welled up inside-upon the ebbing tide-how 'singular' I feel! I made you a promise-that I'd stay by your side--- holding your hand through it all. Not once did I stop to consider-you... Sign in to see full entry.

"My Search For Mummy".

This follows yesterday's post. Child-stop searching for your 'Mummy'-for she won't answere when you call- she's dead and gone! When she was there-in your infant days-she wasn't 'mothering' you---- in Spirit or in Soul! Lay the ghost and move on! I hear the echo of your painful-Soulful cry-she was...

"Something Stirred" and "My Search For Mummy"

This is from way back/therapy.I felt totally split--ie;inner/outer me.Two poems kind of 'go together'-so I will 'post' the second one-tomorrow. Something stirred-I heard a sound-a kind of distant wailing--- deep inside. I sieved the cinders-poked around--- to see if there was anything to find?... Sign in to see full entry.

The Inner Child"

I wrote this-12 years ago when working with Incest Survivors. The Inner child is bubbling-strugling-desperate to cry out--- but-silently is trapped within a world of fear and doubt! Suspicious of each 'nicety'-each friendly word and deed--- trusts only in abuse-so deep was sown the seed! Knows... Sign in to see full entry.

"Light"

Light is a gift-that was given by God--- so we could view all in His world. So we might follow-in the footsteps He trod--- caring for the weakest- in His fold. Then we will all share together-the weak and the strong--- the young and the sick and the old. So those who are 'comfy' may reach out and... Sign in to see full entry.

"Sombre Farewell"

The Chaplain of the Navy did you credit- ---- as he committed your ashes to the sea. He knew how much you had lost-had sacrificed- --- in giving them your total loyalty. I've spent a lifetime asking questions-seeking answers--- nothing ever made clear sense to me! Until now-one year on since you... Sign in to see full entry.

"This First Evening"

I've just got back from a w/e by the river.Hallo again. I watch the sun peeping through the bare branches of the late Autumnal trees. The red ball apears to split in two as it begins to thaw and finally melt away. The skies are streaked with it's fragments of reflection,as it dips below the reeds... Sign in to see full entry.
