Meditation
I am sat alone in a room. Sat on a quite squashy sofa. I think it might be a sofa bed, oddly. This is meant to be a meeting of the Disability and Wellbeing Network at my work. I’m the only one here this time. I could feel sad that these meetings aren’t quite takingContinue reading “Meditation”
Aftermath, by Siegfried Sassoon
Have you forgotten yet?… For the world’s events have rumbled on since those gagged days, Like traffic checked while at the crossing of city-ways: And the haunted gap in your mind has filled with thoughts that flow Like clouds in the lit heaven of life; and you’re a man reprieved to go, Taking your peacefulContinue reading “Aftermath, by Siegfried Sassoon”

peace
every quiet day spent with you is a comforting balm to my soul calm mornings easy afternoons warm evenings and I am nearly wordless not because my mind is tangled more that my mind is soothed and stilled and gentled and smiles are hard to write
quiet
responsibilities removed I lounge sofa-spread eyes closed relaxing into the quiet
hush
may I rest here a while in this moment may I stay for a time in this place where my mind is at peace where my being is calm where my breath moves within and without in no rush where there’s no heaviness ‘cept the weight of your hand and the warmth of your kissContinue reading “hush”
