we begin at the bottom
of the heavy pendulum
thoughts and deeds
take so long to return
.
but soon you will realise
as you begin the climb
the faster the clock ticks
and the sooner it chimes
.
so quickly that you may
suddenly change your mind
scared of what’s higher
and what you may find
.
but if you can keep
yourself ever so still
find the calm within you
choose peace over thrills
.
soon you will realise
sitting with time
that karma expires
as you balance your mind
.
your frequency rises
close to that chime
and there it’s revealed
all you ever longed to find

Dangerous High Bridge
Public Service Announcement Refreshing air fills your lungs, 420 feet above the river. Inhale the sweet aroma of evergreen trees, and experience scents the wind brings to you. The cascading, rushing river renews life. Ravens and eagles soar, calling in joyous freedom, catching updrafts. Giant evergreen trees stack the hillsides or create river turns with their fallen branches. Some days, clouds of cumulus, stratus, or cirrus float above, shifting into animal shapes. Vaping or smoking sullies the clean air. Forbidden. Campfires, loud music, and alcohol drinking and partying destroy the serenity. Forbidden.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

your frequency rises close to that chime I remember us talking about that frequency many times! Your poem was so powerful!
What a wonderful metaphor you created with the pendulum! This is truly brilliant, Kayleigh!
I like this idea a lot! A sort of rising above what we thought we needed.. or at least that is what I’m getting from your piece. . 😀
Lovely little bit of philosophical inspiration from Ms Fraser! Well done, Kayleigh!
