A few of my favourite things

Chunky bracelets on cute small wrists
Lots of adventure, wide grins and smiles
To think that I was able to actuallly swim
Mentorship that inspires

Heels by weekends, flats through the week
Colours and fresh air
Sunshades on his eyes looking at me looking at him
Expressions of love and care

Beautifully put together scribblings
Watermelon and pineapple kebabs
Voices...subtle,textured as the ocean's breeze
To specialize yet be versatile

The smell of heated coffee,cream and ginger
Shabby chic furnishing
Cheese and water crackers
Rainbows and boxes tied up with strings

The red sofa I met with some time ago
Ruby woo beneath stretchy kinky
Earring holes anew
Fluffy pompoms and wooly knits

The joy of eureka
Knowledge of the word
The wisdom in Inertia
The simplicity in penning a thought

Divided Labour
To be able to wear skirts more often
Drinks with the ladies in warmth
To be still and thankful when left with little

The freedom to surge
The ability to express
The satisfaction of becoming
Sounds of Laughter from my Moes

Brown paper bags and packages 
To be called Mum
Fitness and mindful fingers
To hold and be held in accord

These are a few of my favourite things!

Conversations with time



Time oh time...are you friend or are you foe?

One thing to me, something else to another
Coming slowly only to pass by swiftly

You sow and reap and come and go


You conceal and reveal
Opening up secrets that only you had hidden at first

Pushing people farther and binding others together
Some get hurt and others you heal

Time oh time…are you family are you stranger?
You are today, tomorrow, a moment, a season,
Here and there and far and near
Encouraging me to forget and helping me remember

One with false hopes quickly comes to the realization
That nothing hides beneath the sun and soon you will speak
Some will be caught up in your wrath
Fortunately others will receive salvation

Time oh time... I shall never understand you shall I?


Yours Truly,
TRULYAdlyne
