resting in between

i think again

its been a long time

i wish it wasn't

waiting for time to go

i suddenly realise its been

i don’t know where i was

i guess it wasn’t here

now i’m there again

but still i fall behind

i want to be with you

not realising that i cant

how i long for you

my wife of only 2

short years they’ve been fun

where did the time go

resting again i pause

and prepare myself for more

i am determined that

our love remains secure

strength and comfort

i derive from God

my love springs deep

eternity

Be Still my Heart

and Rest in Him

and Know the Joy

When Being in

a Cauldron of

Uncertainty

Turmoil and Anxiety,

That God above

is Watching me

and Loves to Help

when Things don’t seem

to be the Way

they Ought to be

Crushed purple velvet

leached dye

swirling as it washes away

Small boy

tentatively pulling the legs off a spider

waiting to see when it dies

New husband

unthinkingly damaging tender emotions

grinding away trust

In 1993 I wrote a bunch of poetry. I’m not entirely sure why that year was so prolific. It was the year I came out of a very dark time in my life, started being less introspective, was dry for 9 months (a big thing for a drug and alcohol dependant person) and did a lot of sport, raced national level mountain biking and local triathlons and endurance triathlons.

I have posted a bunch of poems up. Each is its own little island of thought.

I will continue to post all my poetry in time order over the next few weeks. Hopefully balanced with some other work!

My poetry is intensely emotional and comes from a place in my soul unbidden, unforced and often from a dream or in times of deep introspection.
