Hold my hand
I feel the need to reach for you
You always seem to understand
The depths in me that others can’t
And when we share our journey
I feel the truth
That here is
Breaking free from its cage of suffering
Like bird upon the wing
Longing to sing to this reality
Love lives here
In the attention we bring
To our shared experience
Of joy, lessons and suffering
And when you reach to me within my world
Through the extension of empathy
That is when I feel
Most free
To just be
And express
Myself
A glorious poem Deb, and these lines touched me deeply
“Breaking free from its cage of suffering
Like bird upon the wing
Longing to sing to this reality
Love lives here”

Are you Ivor? I am not buying into all of the drama.. maybe I am being naïve….or having my head in the sand but I just don’t like where its all going… its so heavy right now… I escape to nature all the time.. Its the only way I find the peace

The changes are big and sudden, which makes it a bit harder for us oldish folk to adapt….

Yes and that is the point Ivor. With age you do become more vulnerable..
