To Live Now

Facets of personality make up each one of us

Some to handle the practical day to day

Elements needed for food to eat

And clean clothes in the closet

But other strands open up our dreams

To make the heart soar high and free

As fierce as an eagle preparing to do battle

As delightful as the chickadee digging out seeds for dinner

Or as brilliant as the cardinal flashing colour in a dreary

London

Purple periwinkle in the garden

Sparkling water flowing in the river

Variety store emerging as a neighbourhood florist

Tea shops and schools of many brands

Miles upon miles of roads

Each element is so different from the others

Yet the individual pieces

The unrelated objects

Work together to be

This city called home

Writing

Writing time is varied

Letters, stories, journal

All find their moments

When I first wake up

Before the rush of day descends

Hawk

Perch on a high pole

Peer down for movement below

Dive for instant food

Photos of London

Seeing my city as a place to share

Is an interesting endeavour

As I post photos to Instagram

From my walks throughout London

A world waking up in spring

The buildings named in my story

A variety of components working

Together

To show off my home

Dreams

How can dreams have so many pieces?

Mine weave together so many different elements

Education, business, settling newcomers

And as time passes changes happen

Modifications occur

But no piece has truly been eliminated

So I keep moving forward

Wherever You lead my heart, Lord

Through writing, business ventures

And the founding of a school

We will see what adventure awaits

Book Launch

Becoming a writer

Ordered the early hours

Of my days as I worked

Knowing that finally a book would be 

Launched for

All to discover

Unrelenting time brought me to

Now as I turn the page as a writer, the

Confirmed

Homebody
