The 5 senses of life

Life is a gift, hold it tightly
Stroke it, caress it, be tender towards it

Life is a gift, to be unpacked, explored
Fragrant aromas enticing you forward

Life is a gift, changing horizons
A panorama of living colour

Life is a gift to be devoured and savoured
Eclectic fruits, from every nation

Life is a gift, a multitude of sounds
The heartbeat of heaven all around

Live life to the full, give it away
Gifts from the heart, every day

It’s time to live again

Running Away

Better off alone? where would you go?
On your own, where would you hide? 
Isolation!!…so attractive?
The emptiness of a numbing existence 
For wherever you go, you are never alone
Battle scars, forever companions
Always screaming, removing peace
Alone with self, will it bring relief? 

Another path? 
A frightening choice
Allowing others to hear your voice
Your crying heart, release the fear
The love of friends surrounding, near
You are much loved, a special child
Loving arms, to hold you tight
The most difficult path up ahead
To face the pain with caring friends

It’s time to live again
