Lifepoems

Surrounded by wrappings and noise and glee
I open, fake a smile because I love them.
Expectancy lingers but I will not acknowledge
I turn to a corner and despise it
Duplicated disappointments in all shapes and sizes
And this whole 'festive' period always has a new, earth-shattering surprise for me
This year it brings me a photograph of a tree
Each branch sparkles differently
They clash.
I, the leaf, recognise each of my homes and
I clash with none
But I'm not sure they recognise me
Every time, closeness is prevented when I am
blown to a different branch
And on my hurricane journeys
I question the value
of family
- they are supposed to know you the best,
support you the most -
We could barely do either.
"Happy Christmas" forced together in harmony
But how can I expect them to
Give Me What I Want
when I don't truly know myself?
The tarot reader gives me 'insight' as my
answer.
My story results in growth
and insight is the perfect nourishment
So that's my New Year's
Resolution
I need to take another look inside
Find what I know is on my mind
Concrete my plans
Follow my dreams
Polish my clock
Cleanse my eyes
Build flesh on my skeleton
Sink in some roots
And then all will be well
All will be well
...?

| I too feel the disappointment of festivities esp with one of my branches; feeling increasingly uncentred on MY family roots. However I am happy with another branch which never fails to create joy. You will find your branch and perhaps make your own, dont be lonely xx |
