Way ahead…

poetry 1 Minutes 
Evidence of another's passage
Briefly before me
A mere moment in time

Going forward like me
Alone striding out
In visible vulnerability

Only the direction taken
Twinkles in singular
Flattened footprints

Frozen emptiness
Displays unmapped path
Warmth will dispel

Heading into shared shadows
Routes of steep climbs
Before rising

To view it all
In the clear heights
Of hindsight


Written in response to Sadje’s What do you see?

My husband says I am a nightmare, actually, a ”complex nightmare”, said with love and understanding of course! In truth the phrase probably does sum me up which is why I will use it. Explanation:- • Complex due to my thoughts being varied, deep and even conflicting • Nightmare due to their constant, numerous and consuming nature. I am an emotional writer, finding writing a medium with which to express myself; I find this difficult verbally and am averse to any conflict. I am creative and artistic at work and hobbies; (working in jewellery) but only have enthusiasm for “bespoke” creations. I find it difficult to label a theme to my writing but recently am enjoying learning and experimenting with different forms of poetry. A few very difficult years emotionally have drawn me to this genre. Somehow, I am finding more clarity in my thoughts by using words that are not always so clear, or even placed in a structure that take me out of my comfort zone.... hmmm work that one out LOL. I am excited to see what I write, as it is a total surprise to me every time; but draws me.... My life experiences are such that I have a personal view on most subjects and if you follow me you may find my topics to be what my daughter would call “random”. Even when my focus is dark, I am actually a positive person by nature and have found strength to get through many obstacles in life - even if some "down" times are more lengthy than others ; maybe it is in my DNA - my blood group is B+ (be positive)! If you have read this, welcome to a bit of my world ....

  5. This piece beautifully captures the fleeting yet profound connections we encounter on life’s journey. It’s like a reminder of our shared vulnerability and the courage it takes to move forward alone. The imagery is vivid, and the message about gaining clarity through hindsight is so relatable. Great work!
