Look not upon deaths cruel face
Nor decay where worms dwell
Move on to new dimensions
Let your own words write your destiny
Sit a while beneath the shade of a maple tree
Watch the sun bleed through blood- red leaves
The shadows drawn by your feet
See the patterns, strange worlds forming
Stories to be written by silent shadows voice
Let life wash over you, remove the boot that holds you
where you no longer need to be
Let bird’s song in, hear the music of our feathered friends
Let the feral world you dislike, fade from memory
Find a broken mansion, walls crumbled, forgotten
Build it new; bring love back to where it once lived
Let in the cat that lives outside
Companionship, a friend to whisper your secrets to
Watch as his black fur gently rises in sleep
On that old stool, you rescued now in front of the fire
Sit back; stir that cube of sugar in your coffee cup
Let not thoughts bait old memories return
Your written words paint life in rainbow colours
One thing left to do, live it…
