Mindset

Heavy Autumn sky cover
mirroring an internal gloom

I own this fight; this darkness
the trail is mine alone

Woodpecker’s drumming
fails to distract; I am submersed

Till sunlight pierces the veil
an unmistakeable allure

Gratitude, I am reminded,
always at the ready.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  10. Gorgeous poem and artwork, VJ. I had a woodpecker visitor yesterday…. how such a small creature can make so much noise, I do not know, but he was good company for a bit after I got in synch with his rhythm.
    xo! 🥰

  13. Sometimes, it’s not that easy to feel grateful, especially when life gets really hard for us, and we feel, trapped, and that we don’t deserve what we had been handed, but we just need to keep on moving until we get away from that state of mind, holding on the hope, that things will get better if we keep moving onward.
