@esotericgarden1 I don't blame you taking a break! There is a really strange vibe on X right now - but those in our creative circle thankfully still share their light to make it less dark.
Know you will be missed when you are not here. And I will wait until you return. Enjoy your break 🤎
In stillness of nature I retreat
Allowing my mind to recline
On an eddy of morning air
Totally unaware of fear,
Or the trauma of memories
Chased deep into the night
Pain takes flight
Leaving a sweetness
Wrapped in victory's embrace
Life conquered death
& won the race.
#WokeToJoy
There are times
when we need to pause what we are doing and go within,
to find answers to questions,
to rebalance
often to pivot
180.
The hamster wheel will continue to turn
as long as we keep
turning it.
(taking an X break for the rest of 2025)

Ilis this poem beautifully captures the profound healing power of nature! The imagery of retreating into stillness and letting the mind "recline on an eddy of morning air" is so peaceful and serene. You've perfectly conveyed that sense of fear and trauma taking flight, leaving behind a "sweetness wrapped in victory's embrace." That powerful declaration, "Life conquered death & won the race," is incredibly uplifting and truly resonates as a triumphant moment of peace. 👏
Skin deep in death
of the flesh,
your energy
continues to enthrall me
as you shape-shift around me
teasing,
tormented, I escape to the sea
to renew my spirit
and cleanse my soul
now made whole;
I throw my face to the sky,
and laugh at death.

"He didn’t steal the jewels. Just the #skin cream Sholmes"
"Curious choice Hatson"
"Maybe his elbows were dry?"
"No, Hatson"
"Then?"
"Geriarty's planning something…"
"Bigger?"
" No, smoother"

News from the garden front:
A rainy day gave way to some sun, and unfortunately the lovely day was wasted with work. Between the lawn mowing and power washing, there was little time for anything else, but thankfully this little guy patiently waited to have his picture taken.
Happy Wednesday :)

His skin was the colour of blueberry
his lips like burnt cherry,
he was her alien king who appeared without warning
to challenge the beliefs she kept holding;
that the fever burning inside could never subside,
she was in for the ride of her life.

Small cracks
In a devilish smile
A protective barrier
compromised,
Sighs of pleasure
Will turn to pain
If she dares allow
Him
Back again.

@esotericgarden1 Your journey resonates deeply. As the seagoat seeks its guiding star, may your path be illuminated with purpose and serenity. Beautiful image!
🌟
I feel a shift in the air,
the pressure has lifted and
the energy's now balanced
It's been a trial;
of tribulations
testing my faith and belief
that there's some kind of reprieve
for souls like mine
on a long life's climb,
this seagoat, in search of its purpose.

Loud smoke
Making puffs of joy
Toward the sky
Where Jupiter,
Planet of abundance
Enters exaltation
In the home of Cancer
Stoke the fire,
Let the merriness begin
Good times are coming
Around again.
#WokeToJoy
Light smoke turned to dark smoke
signaling the destruction that caused the rebirth,
from the ashes a new being arose
with a new pair of wings and a single red rose,
sharing a message of loving each other
no time for war,
time for peace to be brokered.
