• Impromptu poem

  In the lacuna between silence’s hush
  And the sighs that exhale my angst, my rush,
  I lie awake, my mind a restless sea,
  A tempest of thought, unbridled and free.
  
  The abyss of silence, vast and deep,
  Where echoes of dreams and memories sleep,
  Is pierced by the sighs that rise from my chest,
  A lament for the lost, a plea for the blessed.
  
  In this liminal space, between two worlds,
  Where the veil of reality softly unfurls,
  I find myself suspended, adrift in time,
  A witness to the sublime and the sublime.
  
  O, space between silence and sighs,
  You hold the secrets of the night skies,
  The mysteries of the cosmos and the soul,
  The tapestry of life, where all things unfold.
  
  In your embrace, I find solace and dread,
  A paradox of being, both alive and dead.
  For in this liminal space, I am reborn,
  A Phoenix rising from the ashes of dawn.

• Mountains do not rise without earthquakes

  Anyone going through hard times
  Stop a minute
  Breathe
  Now smile
  Give yourself some credit
  You have held it together in style
  And for a little while
  You may find it hard to cope
  This slippery slope
  Doesn’t last forever
  keep hope
  Dig down deep
  There is no fire
  Without smoke
  Stoke out the embers of doubt
  Raise from the ashes
  Like a fucking phoenix
  That’s what you’re all about
  You’re a badass
  Shake off the self-doubt
  Do whatever it takes

  Mountains do not rise
  Without earthquakes……
