I love the Louise Gluck quote ❤️

from the path I see
my branch, me budding to leaf
summer memories

We lost Dad this year. Today would have been his birthday. It is also the date, me and the love of my life met - 23 years ago. Dad loved the fact that #serendipity made this so.

Love you Dad. Love you Terry.

is this it
is this what life is
writing bad poetry
late at night
if it is
that's alright
life could have been
so much worse

What is it about a leaf?

we're leaves on the path
whose story, just yesterday
was told in the trees

full moon resting on still water
one half a song away from my heart
i learn to sing without you

💛 Hello Yellow. A poem for #HelloYellow and World Mental Health Day.

For every child who has days when the yellow disappears for a while and the days when it comes back.

#PoemsForKids #WorldMentalHealthDay @youngmindscollab.bsky.social #mentalhealthmatters #ChildrensMentalHealth

Hello Yellow 

 

Hello yellow, where’ve you been

Glad you’re here, now come on in

How I missed you yesterday

How I hoped that you would stay

But red and blue chased you away

 

Hello yellow, stay a while

Bring your sunshine to my smile

Bring your dandelion dreams

Send your joy down custard streams

Send your hope on solar beams

 

Thank you yellow, for today

For chasing red and blue away

For keeping mists of grey at bay

For making monsters go astray

For letting happy out to play
