so many questions – answers
just fragments of truth.

Midwinter light breaks
monotony of grey – tree
dances in glimmer.

ME/CFS
These words illusion
portray vibrancy of life
belie the mundane
wicked exhaustion my truth
drudgery daily routine.

stagnation, partake
in daring, honour spirit’s
longing for the wild; grow wings.

Valley envies peak
begrudges fabled riches

From Nature, instinct,
intuition – confidence

Winter winds howl,
icy vapours penetrate,

paves the path with gold – river
