Feel My Dreams For You.

“Feel my dreams for you”

Solace of mind on difficult days,
comfort when troubled
or when sadness bleeds your heart,
wise eyes to be able to see all beauty
especially in unexpected places,
laughter to play on those beautiful lips,
the ability to accept in those sparkling eyes,
hugs that raise your spirit soul
and friends to share those happy days.

Laughter in abundance to surround and fulfil,
to ring in your ears, play on your mouth,
faith to hold you up, to believe on those tough days,
confidence when the journey is not easy
Patience and courage when days are difficult and
unrelenting,
but most of all compassion and an
abundance of love to complete your life.

May you always have a sunlit door to walk through…

A Certain Solace.

sunset at Kanyemba from Ellie

 

Withdraw and surrender
or restore and live?
Painfully utter or sing joyously aloud.
Or impair fatally to ruin
all that comes to you.
The choice is yours.

 

Enhance the beauty of your life like a twilight cirrus streaked sky.
Illuminate your life in daily joys.
For joys there are!

 

Live an anguished life in mask of grief?
Or find solace in this diorama of
changing colour and direction.
Sink or swim?

 

Renounce, abandon,
or repair and mend?
The choice is yours.

 

Enter that empty void of senselessness?
Or find that certain solace.
Swim to the top, swim to the top,
do not succumb to misery.

 

Lift yourself from daily pain.
Fight against this hanging pendent of rage
you wear so well.
Leave behind that ache
as heavy as a dying  bloom.

 

Live your life…
And find that certain solace.
