    Chosen ones. {I wish you could share}

    Struggle no more,
    Against what can make you free,
    Man made Handmade,
    Tie dye straightjacket of your so called sanity,
    Imagine you could be like me,
    Just for brief moments pandora unbound,
    Such clarity such perfection,
    You really could be as lucky as me,
    The joy and pain is true liberty,
    I just wish you could all feel this,
    And realise this is not an illness,
    It is the gateway to the purest human being,
    If only it could be all the time,
    And you were here with me.

    By Herakles.

    Just seen a lady on the news caring for her mother who has dementia.
    Selfless soul, who cares for others
    Without thought of praise or money
    Should be rewarded in Heaven

    I'm afraid to say that I didn't realise how good Simon Armitage actually is. It is only recently that I've started reading him more and there is loads of good stuff. My copy of "book of matches" has a post-it on virtually every page.

    Like this and agree with the sentiment, carers are the unsung heroes of this world, night merry x

    Reverie

    on the cusp
    perhaps
    butterflies flutter
    long dormant
    awakened by your sun
    standing on the edge
    that dizzying height
    wheel and run
    or lean and fall
    hoping their wings
    can carry me...

    (the author wishes to point out that she is just introspecting...any resemblance to actual people, alive or dead, is purely coincidental)
