TRUE COLOURS
I must leave you now for a brief sojourn to recharge my batteries … Wish you all well x
“A loner by nature and an introvert... I am a twinkling star, burning bright amidst a cloudless night. As such, I tend to fade in and out of people's lives. This aspect of me is often misunderstood as rejection or a lack of love and caring. In reality, the only way I can survive as an introvert, is to drop from the sky, from time-to-time, recharging within the energizing landscape of my inner-universe. To love me, is to let me me have the space I need to illuminate the sky. I can't be taken hostage or held captive. Inner-light is what gives my star its twinkle.”

TRUE COLOURS – CYNDI LAUPER
A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT
Some may hurry; some may scurry
but others take their time
to stand still; take stock
and really be present in the moment
the white collar workers hurry on by
too busy to look up
their heads bent down avoiding eye contact
their finery blurred; without much definition
the observer looks behind him
to make sure he missed nothing
he is smart in his Sunday best togs
he is satisfied with the path he took
and looking back has no regrets
his journey will take him forwards
into a brighter tomorrow
leaving the past exactly where he left it
where it should be; behind him
the future is unknown for him and for all of us
but his spirits are buoyed up
and reflected in his true colours
bright and vibrant for all to see
nothing can dim the light for him
perhaps temporarily; a passing shadow
briefly blocks the light, but then it is gone
Don't wait for the light
be the light, this wise bird tells to me
don't wait in the dark; search for the light
but never give up without a fight
for you are the light
and you have the strength to fight for what is right
it is not always the easiest path that brings us joy
how can we learn if we remain unchallenged
this bird is innocent and has no knowledge of his fate
he is bred to end his brief life by the hand of man
from the moment he is freed from his man-made gate
but each year some escape this fate
and I look at his beautiful countenance
and wonder how anyone could take that from him
still there will be some who try
and he must keep a watchful eye
yet on this perfect day and in this perfect moment he and I
stand comfortably together
with no thought or knowledge of when we will die
just two souls intertwined within this single precious moment
and we are both content
as we both consent
to allow ourselves to be happy
and let the future take care of itself
yet briefly I find myself wishing
that this moment could last forever
for in this moment I have seen eternity
and what I see is beautiful
my eyes are filled with light, not outwardly
but emanating from behind these eyes that see so much
and I wait in hope that one day all will see
a single moment, such as this, for all eternity.
