Moving House
Settling back
My feet are so sore
Moving house
Is such a chore!
First the packing
Culling on the way
Wish I could do this
Another day!
Embrace the move
With such clarity
Give things away
To your local charity
The garage sale is
An intriguing beast
As one and all
Come to feast
Searching for a bargain
Haggling a price
It can be such a tiresome
Exercise
The day of moving
Comes too quick
It seems you can’t
Just take a trick
Furniture and boxes
Everywhere
Your helpers take
So much care
When the moving is over
You look around
Surrounded by boxes
You feel so bound
As the stress subsides
You start to see
Moving house
Helps you to be free
Free of the things
That have cluttered your life
It’s another chance
To set things right
Less is more
We often hear
Moving house
Lets you clear
Ready to move on
With your Life’s journey
Time to act on
Your great yearnings!

In Writing Your Poem
Rising To The Surface
Crying from the depths
Life can be suffocating
Epic struggles
Seem incapacitating
Tricky to handle
At times…
Through patience and will
Our thoughts they climb
Rising to the surface
Building strength
Arms in the air
Fists clenched
Courage the staple
Willing yourself through
Rewards are a plenty
All the while, you grew
Take from this
All you can learn
Reap the benefits
From all that you earn

Inspired Thoughts
Inspired thoughts
They come and go
An intermittent creek
That sometimes flows
Getting into the zone
Can be the key
It is then your mind
Is most certainly free
Free to discover
New thoughts that inspire
Goals to make
Dreams that fire!

The Beauty Of Life
The beauty of life
Comes from within
Programmed by the Universe
Just waiting to begin
Without any coaching
It’s direction is clear
To exist in the world
And provide that good cheer
Growing into its life
Bearing fruit to one and all
Shining in the Sun
Thirsting in rain’s fall
When it’s fruit is all given
The process begins anew
Sharing it’s life
A chance to renew

An Artist’s Brush
From This Well, So Deep
Saturday mornings
Are a treat
No Facebook, no Instagram
Or desire to Tweet
Coffee on a table
Pen and paper in hand
Mind can be creative
Believe me, that’s grand
Delving into the mind
Can certainly reveal
Many, many thoughts
That do appeal
Write and write
From this well, so deep
Cherished thoughts
From this you keep
Release to all
Your thoughts and desires
Your Soul, Mind and Heart
Simultaneously on fire!

Contemplative Will
Contemplative moves
Contemplating self
The players deny
Any offers of help
Locked in a battle
Of wits with a friend
Two players duel
And contemplate the end
Strategies imparted
Strategies rebuked
This day’s win
Will be no fluke
Eye contact minimal
Nothing is given away
Piece for piece traded
Nothing stands in their way
All eyes on the duo
Patience unbending
As each of them seeks
The perfect of endings
On this overcast day
In the middle of the park
These two will keep duelling
Till well after dark
When the match has concluded
Shake hands, yes they will
Until they next meet
To get their ‘Chess thrill!’

The Idea
As a new bud blooms
An idea comes forth
Into your mind
What is it worth?
Worth it’s weight
In Gold, we think
Scooped from the well
From which we drink
Nurturing that idea
Along the way
Dodging naysayers
Sidestepping the fray
Honing our thoughts
Testing it through
Our idea grows
It’s time is due
Released to the world
It’s time has come
Celebrated by all
So full of wisdom!
