Jaye Marie and Anita Dawes

Today I chopped my way through the woods

My arms beginning to ache. The mist began to lift,

the sun burning across caught something on the ground,

lighting it with a starburst, tiny fingers of light dancing

A small gold token teasing, come see, pick me up

My mind still whirling from yesterday’s demons

I took it as a sign of good will from the universe

It felt warm in my hand

Turning it over to find a rope design around its edge

With an open eye in the centre

This brought a smile to my face

As if someone had whispered

I am watching you…
