Nature Heals

amid the stillness of this moment

surrounded by Mother Nature

soft melodies on the breeze

babbling brook nearby

sweet scents on the air

time to unwind

nature

heals

Tear Drop

through the stillness of a silent night

loneliness creeps about the soul
creating a chilled feeling
oozing melancholy 
with each memory
single tear drop
gently rolls
down my
cheek

Anisoptera

An insect that`s older than dinosaurs

Never stationary for very long

Intelligent and accomplished hunters

Spectacular eyes that see all around

One of the first winged insects to evolve

Pest controller of mosquitoes 

There are over 5000 known species

Expert flying insect of the waterways 

Rising, diving and even backwards!

Amazing creatures throughout history!

Mental Health Awareness Week
9th to 15th May

After Depression

I have been told
I suffer from depression
mental health
they say,
emotional
unstable
well....
that`s not me, I`m sure

just being a mother
can get you down
mental stress
more like it
exhaustion
memory loss
need....
a little attention

when times are hard
a helping hand counts
mental friction
loss of confidence
need a new start
love and hugs
see....
I've now got it sussed

a little help
goes such a long way
mental care
a kind gesture
relaxation
chilling time
so...
we`re working together

Enjoyed meeting these two amazing and determine women, they are full of the zest for life and are following their dreams.  I can`t help but want to follow mine too!  My new adventure has begun

#talkwell2writewell  #LissiesPoems

Roz, Michelle and Me!

catching the train to Exeter

to meet this amazing pair

 business lass and photographer

there`s such anticipation in the air

we all converged on platform one

from our original destinations

connecting with enthusiasm 

after hugs and introductions

 

we found we had a lot in common

chatting over biscuits and coffee

then discussing facts and ideas

 wonder what`s next for our story

from poetry to photography

there was so much to discuss

while sharing all our great ideas 

with no negatives, just a huge plus!

a walk around the city centre

not forgetting the old cathedral

it had been a wonderful day

meeting these two amazing people

so, thank you Roz and Michelle

this was a great day to treasure

our first meeting in Exeter city

here`s to our wonderful adventure!

Hummingbird

caught in a moment of time

this vision of  pure beauty
paused in sheer motion
 in silent serenity

 such a bright vibrant bird
so tiny in stature
quickly feeding on the move
a miracle of Mother nature

rich florescent colours
shimmering in the light
its wings hardly visible
beating so fast in flight

with a long slender beak
to explore for sweet nectar
found deep within each flower
this elixir collector

darting between blossoms
with wondrous beauty
captured in a single moment
this humming bird's on duty!

Healing Nature

sat alone in the garden

silent in contemplation

savouring these moments

peace, quiet and relaxation

feel warmth from the sunshine

nurturing our inner self-esteem

melting away all the tensions

healing nature can redeem

allowing warming vibes to flow

washing away every sorrow

brightening up all horizons

bringing a positive tomorrow!
