Like two old
people
We go arm in arm along
The icy
pavement. |
Among the lanes and
Fields of Norfolk - a
lifetime
Is barely enough.
|
I am an addict:
A river
addict. Each day
I must get my fix.
|
When wearing a face
Mask - you have to soon
learn how
To smile with your eyes.
|
You never need to
Know who has
unfollowed you;
Let them go; move on.
|
I show my love by
Taking the
bins out and by
Peeling potatoes. |
Today, only
the
Jackdaws and I haunt this old
Place by the
river.
|
If you're lucky
with
Poetry - you may manage
To give it away.
|
Sometimes with haiku
We
discover that less is
Actually less.
|
There is a subtle
Difference
between being
Alive and living. |
Sometimes
suffering
Never ends; all you can do
Is endure
better.
|
One moment you
are
Learning to walk: the next you
Hobble on a
stick. |
Tightly spooled in your
Own darkness - you held grudges
And kept old
secrets.
|
I came back as a
Ghost - hauting
this landscape of
Rivers and churches. |
Move towards the heat
And the light; move away from
The cold and the
dark.
|
While the storm raged, I
Grafted
in the mud - planting
Trees for the future. |
Good riddance Donald
Trump. And may all your golf balls
End up in the
rough.
|
It doesn't matter
How important
you are - you're
Still going to die. |
I was born in the
Summer, but it always felt
Like deepest winter.
|
Grief is natural,
But depression
is always
Out of proportion. |
Nothing
matters much -
Just the habitation of
This
fleeting moment.
|
Like Dante, I
walked
the circles of hell - till I
Rebeheld
the stars. |
It was not your fault;
It was simply that you
Had no love to give.
|
It's not how far you
Get - but
what you overcome
To get there that counts. |
Stick around. If not
For
yourself, then for all the
People who love you.
|
If you would like to
Find out
who your real friends
Are - become depressed. |
I came back from the
Dead - not at a gallop but
One inch at a time.
|
During long lockdowns
Exercise
the old brain by
Counting syllables. |
Nightmares go when you
Wake up; with depression they
Start when you wake
up.
|
Working can be bad
For your
mental helath - but not
Working can be worse. |
In the past,
when I
Was stressed, I used to speed up
But
now I slow down. |
With
depression, it
Is better to trust your eyes
Than to trust your mind. |
Women like men; men
Like
women; men like men and
Women like women.
|
Move towards the pain:
Accept it
and embrace it;
Let it absolve you. |
How long must you let
The past punish you before
You let go of it?
|
Like Prometheus
I am in chains -
scanning the
Sky for the eagle. |
