When I was a child
There was always a hand
Within my reach
When I needed reassurance
Or wandered too close to peril
To share the warmth of a loving gesture
Be supportive to others
Defend the vulnerable
Love unconditionally…

Loss ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #199
From time to time we lose
People, places and things
We love
People, places and things
We love
In the absence
Recollections induce the bittersweet
With time, perhaps, becoming less bitter than sweet
Losses lightened
By the moments, words and images
We’ve captured
The joys once lived
Remain in our memories
And in our hearts
In the empty spaces
Something new, perhaps
Something new to love
Vulnerability
In time I began to understand
My vulnerability
Was more attractive
Than my strength
My vulnerability
Was more attractive
Than my strength
As I grew more confident
In being vulnerable
I began to understand
The strength in vulnerability
Amigos Mundos
In the everyday
It’s the moments spent
With the ones we love
Which make our hearts lighter
The moments better
The living sweeter
It’s the moments spent
With the ones we love
Which make our hearts lighter
The moments better
The living sweeter
Pendant Gem
In the darkness
And the light
In the vibrant coloured
Sunlit rays
The moody greys
Of cloudy days
And the light
In the vibrant coloured
Sunlit rays
The moody greys
Of cloudy days
You my pendant gem
Lay close
Upon my heart
Reminder of
The subtler art
Of love which is
The beauty known
Regardless of
What eyes can see
It sings to me
In silent depths
Awakens dreams
Within memories
Of possibility
An ever-present peace
Baby I Miss Your Touch
Oh, darling
Across these many miles
Across these many miles
I have the touch of your words
On my heart
The touch of your voice
In my mind
The touch of your spirit
On my soul
But what I want
Is the touch of your hand
On my flesh
Come back to me, my love
I miss your presence
With all my being
Empty Sails
I sailed across
Obsidian sea
On breathless eve
With pastel sky
Obsidian sea
On breathless eve
With pastel sky
While the moon
By just a half
Whispered lightly
On the sly
Love awaits
On farther shore
Beneath the peaks
Upon the sand
It will not linger
For a moment more
Nor even greet you
When you make land
If no love
Has filled your sails
If no love
Has filled your sails
