It has been just a year
– a year like no other
We were a fighting force
gathered together like a group of raggle taggle gypsies
strangers with a common cause
We drove together
from the south and the north
Creating friendships
Forming bonds
Celebrating life with those who understood
Talking freely
Rejoicing in the energy surrounding us
Fighting for freedoms
freedoms lost
freedoms stolen
not just our freedoms
– everyones
Fighting for
those blinded
those hypnotised
those scared
those compliant
The toll this year has taken
is indescribable
The abuse
The silencing
The rollercoasters of energies
emotional physical spiritual
Exhaustion
Exhausted
Drained
Heartbroken
Numbness
Looking into this new year
wanting to feel positive
But knowing what’s been…
Venturing in
toe testing the waters
Feeling
apprehensive
scared
wary
weary
But overall clutching Hope
grasping Courage
preparing each day
to be Brave

Time and Life
63 birthdays were gifted you
you were gifted to us
to me
to so many who loved you
time spent
spent time
together
measured in moments
heartbeats
rhythms of life
flowing between rivers
of sweetness
and sadness
of hardwork
and holidays
a cadence of days
10 birthdays thereafter…
celebrated by us
with heartbreak
and soul filled memories
life
this interval
a season
a period
a duration
embrace this span
this epoch of life
time
won’t be held
can’t be stopped
once spent it is gone
no going back
we think we have aeons
but in fact
we have but a brief beat
in the melody of life
I loved you for then
I love you now
separated by dimensions
in time and space
Tears fall
remembering
the precious time we shared
Thank you for the memories x
Remembering 42 years of love & life shared with Timmy 💞
