Through the darkness ...

Am I stuck spiralling ~

Can I break the cycle ~

What should I be thinking ~

Is there a way to change ...

~

Moments can change my mind ~

Take each breath deeply ~

Find comfort in kindness ~

Seek possibilities...

~

Always looking for hope 🦋

Ally's Voice

How do I find my voice?
Each word I speak
A grain of sand
Picked up on the wind
Lost in the noise

How do I find my voice...

Workplace change

Welcome to ...

Change is constant
Embracing
Planning
Agility
Transmitting
Evolving
Repeating
Change is coming
Unease
Anticipate
Vacuum
Rumours
Change has arrived
Fight
Flight
Freeze
Change is here
Circling
Present
Fought
Flown
Frozen
Acceptance
Change has passed
Change is constant...

Burnout

Loaded down 
Pushed around
Feeling the pinch
From week to week
Washed out 
Struggling through

Withdrawn
Struggling to engage
Sitting in the wilderness 
Amongst the rubble
Brought down
By uncontrolled changed

Need to connect
Collectively find strength
Stand up and be countered
Find our voices to face down
The next tide 
Rushing our way

~ Written in response to what many, including myself, are feeling in the workplace. Inspired by those in my Union who give me strength by all they do for others.

Politics

Take your negativity & throw it away Show me your policies & how you'll change lives Tired of word games I'm over the lies

Dreamscape

 


Sailing amongst a dreamscape Drifting gently upon each breath Hoping the sandman lets me stay

Autumn Sonnet 2.0

Drawn to your illuminating allure
Made of amber hues dancing in the light
Twirling and swaying in fiery grandeur
Turning, floating, falling as you take flight

While you steal the warmth and breath from my world 
Life turns to brittle pieces of decay 
As more diamond flecked blankets are unfurled
Darkness continues to swallow the day

The misty grey brims with an oozing chill
Then your mood swings arc back to startling blues
Amongst the dampness I inhale my fill
Of the beautiful starkness drifting loose

Spiral circles from beginning to end
An expected cycle both foe and friend



(Note: This poem was written a while ago as part of a series of pieces describing the four seasons, after a friend challenged me to write a sonnet.)
