A chaotic beauty,
A trusting soul,
Mother’s love for all.
She’s seen things,
And survived worse,
Feeling it all.
A chaotic passion,
A new goal,
Abundance for her soul.
She’s taking action,
Making her mark,
Becoming her all.

the earth sighs
autumn leaves
beautiful in death
fall discarded
left to decay
until the earth
takes another breath

As elders
We suffer
The pain
Of our pasts
Niggles become nuisance
Ignorance becomes issue
Beauty becomes blemish
Choices
Made long ago
Become the chains of our present
Back then
I was free
To take any path
Oblivious of consequence
Now
Having walked those paths
Those consequences
Force me to keep walking
An adult
Bound
By the decisions
Of a child
I am
Who I am
Only because
I was
Who I was
Will future me
Resent these words?
Or will I look back
As I do now
With compassion
Knowing I did my best
With what I had?
All I can offer is
An apology
To the future
I am sorry
For the pain
My choices
Will bring you
