Shadowed secrets
Weight my mind
Ground me in clouds
Greyer than time
Do you remember me?
Or am I a figment
Of a lie
You pretend to deny
Open now to sunlight
In the gloom
I make no sound
Simply pray
On a starlit wing
Returning to me
my soul replete
Treading lightly
In a new day

April 22, 2024 at 7:11 amIt is a treat to read poetry from you, Lisa. It made me wonder what kind of secrets we may keep, and what the mind wants to hide from others. I found the choice of photo accompanying the photo very interesting. Sort of reminds me of someone trying to find themselves. Or maybe hiding themselves from the world. Sometimes we wonder what secrets hide and also what they may reveal – maybe they reveal more about ourselves. Hope you have been doing well 😊❤

Yes, secrets are a whole intriguing topic.
Very thoughtful interpretation of secrets, Mabel. Remember the childhood game ‘share a secret’? That always made me nervous even though I could never think of one. 😀

March 1, 2024 at 10:41 amYour self-help books on divorce and blog posts sound particularly helpful, and I’m definitely interested in checking out ‘The Wine Diaries’ and ‘A Divorce Companion’. It’s also lovely to see your poem included – your creativity truly shines through in all your work!

February 20, 2024 at 4:11 pmI wonder, what are the shadowed secret(s) in my mind?
The one(s) that keep me up at night? The questions I ask myself. What will let me sleep tonight?
What is yours?
Lisa – You got me thinking.

February 20, 2024 at 6:04 pmI suppose they are different for each person who holds them. We do all have a few, I think.
Yours? Could be what keeps you up at night but the shadows also help us sleep through.
Glad to get you thinking!

Shadows come and go, sometimes it’s tough to have them around. I pray for you to find some light Lisa.
Take care
