Time Passes

Posting a daily blog is what I set myself to do earlier this year. I have lapsed for a few months, but the writing has not completely stopped. Work, the summer vacation and lack of discipline can be all the excuses that can be used to coat the idea that I have let myself and you down. Time to get back on the horse or better still, pounding the keyboard…

Memory Lane
Sometimes
We were woken
At six am
To pick
The weekly order
After classes
During the school holidays
The itchy leaves
Seldom tickled
Green beans
Better fresh
Than pickled

Today
Memories made
The last of the summer crop
Picked
Green beans in the hothouse
Carefully nurtured
Collected sweet and tender
Growing old
With memories laboured
Seeking the familiar
Sometimes
Living is celebrating
Earth’s gifts that keep on giving

Positivity
A positive disposition
Something
I dream about
No emotional
Displacement
Free as a bird
Fluttering about
An inner calm
Stability
No doubts

A positive admission
Is what it’s about
Clear thinking
I chase
Day in and out
Living
Beyond clichés
Ideas to trust
An idealistic dreamer
Always lurking in my heart

A positive approach
The middle way
No doubt
Every breath
Present
Often tough
Time travel
Returning cycles
Seeing the trees for the wood
Still
Needs a lifetime forgiveness
Love

Mind Movement
We sink and swim
From time to time
Just managing
Heartache and pain
Like the waves
Lapping at the shores
Love
Sometimes
A battle worth more

We strive and excel
From time to time
More than just managing
Laughter and happiness
An embalming breeze
Waving worries away
Love
The precious gift
Building
A true self core
