Inside the dark room
Inside my head
In this dark room I fear
As I long into nothing
What are they thinking of me?
I cannot ask, they are nowhere near
/
The long journey round my thoughts
Spiralling in and out of the past
The anxiety ripples through
Overwhelming and so vast
/
What is the root of this?
A moment of recklessness
Or an embedded habit?
Endless cycle of doubt
/
Is this the end?
Of what I thought I knew
What is the plan now?
Do I have the energy to defend?
/
Will they still be there for me?
Now I have revealed another side
That hasn’t seen the light of day before
The side that has been told to abide
/
Then the moment comes
A sign of life appears
That pulls me from dormant state
To face everything now on my plate

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
