let tomorrow come slow

 

Life rises, life falls,

Like waves that kiss the shore.

Some days bring sunshine,

Some days ask for more.

I won’t lose today

Chasing tomorrow’s fears;

I’ll laugh, love, and linger,

And treasure these passing years.

For every stage is a story,

A moment I won’t outgrow

So I’ll live where my feet are,

And let tomorrow come slow.

Embracing the Season Within

 

Embracing the Season Within

As autumn quietly unfolds,

may we find the time to notice

the colours changing all around us,

and the quiet changes taking place within.

May golden leaves remind us

that letting go can be beautiful,

that every season has its purpose,

and every ending carries a seed of new beginnings.

May we welcome softer mornings,

gentler skies,

and listen to the whispers of our hearts

beneath the rustling trees.

For just as nature changes

without fear of what will be,

may we too embrace our seasons,

growing, releasing,

and learning to trust the unfolding.

And as the world turns slowly

towards the stillness of winter,

may we pause, breathe, and be grateful

for all that this season brings.

May we find beauty in the changing colours,

courage in our own transformation,

and peace in the knowledge

that change is not an ending,

but an invitation to begin anew.

a glorious new day

 

At times we wonder if we can do this,
When the road ahead seems steep,
Maybe we've been strong for too long
or our hopelessness runs too deep.

Each day seems long and arduous,
And lethargy becomes the norm,
It's as if we have been battered by life,
And living through a storm.

But sometimes from out of nowhere
There comes a distant voice,
Telling you that 'you've got this'
You really have no other choice..

So you take out your umbrella,
And face the storm full on,
It's then you begin to realise,
You were coping all along.

The road ahead has straightened out,
And now the storm has passed,
Your heart starts to feel a little lighter,
You've come through the worst, at last.

The rain has now dried up,
You can put your umbrella away,
And walk on with your head held high,
Into a glorious new day ...

look around,

the earth

cannot stop

making things.

moss on stone.

flowers

through fences.

trees growing

from impossible

places.

everywhere

something is becoming.

maybe

you are not

separate

from

that miracle.

maybe

your are one

of it's ways

of

continuing.
