Sue’s poem

Green and red and brown and gold

I behold the colours of your soul

Nature

The richest of tapestries

Deep here inside the place of my best being

When the lure of my feeling to save you

Comes rushing in like a wave

And anxiety’s fire accompanies it

Drowning my cells in dread

Its hard to stay with the pressure

And so out of the window I gaze

Knowing a shift of focus

May remind me of how everything in nature

Ends up finding its own rhythm timing and pace

And then the voices come

That say

Unless I reach out to you

You may drown

And I feel that old demon haunting me

Is it okay for this moment

Just to take care of me?

Is that denial of outer reaching

A negation of the love here beating in this breast

For you?

(Sister I feel your heart)

Oh my – life is never easy

So I send my spirit of love to you with my mind

Praying you know I care

But to travel that far away from my home today

Is too much

And today I dont want to leave

This peaceful space

Behind

Where I feel whole

While at one

With my soul

And nature’s rich tapestry
