🙋 Hello Sheila here. Passionate about health+empowering others. Lost both parents to lung cancer. Hoping poetry(c)MotivatesChange💃🏿copyright SMcGill
Deep in grieving heart #Smoke cast vast cavern Where It tore her body apart. Addiction's yearn, It turned her centuries old + bid cancer start its viscous fight Until finally beating her to stone cold. Mother, you can you hear me? I miss you, oh how I miss you. #vss365 #quit
Her feelings Wrap around her spine Until she cannot easily breath Emotional #Cummerbund Leaning back Growing stature She loosens restriction Damage limitation Breath, she whispered This will not kill you But you will grow stronger Weathering storms Find a way #vss365
Push open the gate of self-imprisonment. #follow the path of, it will be ok &do not worry, for this path is hugged by Nature’s warmth & you will not feel anxious, for #violet the see’er who sees & cares for all will watch over you, until you feel able to go it alone. #vss365
The #tear holds back for the appropriate time Waiting, until it is safe to let go, For there are some who see weakness’s When tears fall at inopportune moments. And weakness could not be shown Not now, not ever. But, they will fall soon Life will move forward Very soon. #vss365
Life’s #promise of hope Carefree Butterflies dancing. Mother Nature’s gifts. #vss365 #haiku
“Did you call?” Margaret, the mermaid who cares for all, was worried about Pete the Porpoise’s hearing “I said #purpose” Everyone laughed-but Margaret-noticing Pete’s embarrassment quickly diverted everyone’s attention to Cockles new shell. Because that’s what friends do #vss365
From a place Where the #spiritual tries2soothe the heart Past hurt gathers Pain readies 2rise. Tidal years Death driving white horses. Horizons never 2B reached &he sits, Cross legged, existing While his heart beats - just Fighting with the Demons #Addiction conjures #vss365
Her journey-some think-is dictated by the powers of the stone of #onyx, in truth she follows the path of the Crows claw She’d been accepted when rising above the flames of the attempted murder of crows&saved their Queen-now always by her side Only fools cross their path #vss365
If you push passed the gate of false start, then follow the road that soothes defeat, you will come across a vast sea of cross. Do not worry for there is a small boat named, yes U can, who will carry U toward the steps of #wisteria Here, my friend, you will start again #vss365
While some In the background Huffed &puffed & forced their bodies Into positions of much stress & effort She, on the other hand decided her day Would be a more #mellow affair Moving smoothly From the harshness life can inflict Others marvelled at her calm under pressure #vss365
She wished she could say #innocence still found a place in her heart But evil had shown its face &tore her heart apart Just enough So she could still find love, 4if that were 2B taken What else is there #Addiction does that Invades families Until all that’s left is hope #vss365
Hindsight-a wonderful thing! She perused her lips Should she have predicted events? Could she forgive herself? That feeling of She should have known, Seen it coming But of course Surmising the what ifs Would never end well Indeed it was taking her down a deep #wormhole #vss365
The sea front teams, Life occupies every corner & of course Nature plays her dramas For all to see… Along the path of cheek Unlike his fellows There is a chap-oh so #contrarian Who has discovered the door of open &enters a world his fellow Seagulls Have no idea exists! #vss365
The demon drink! Mothers ruin! #Addiction cares not the name Only that it’s dependency grips Never #Idolatry Rather a vilification Stealing every moment Of each precious day Cornering some with brazen disregard Screaming stop me if you can &all the while Life ticks on #vss365
A hot day she decided she would Swerve the norm and swim outdoors. Ducks flapped out her way but some/she swore stopped to say hello She wondered if swimming with Swans might be considered #deviant she smiled One things for sure they all do wonders for #MentalHealth #vss365
She had no particular aptitudes, certainly could not be described as #savant. She could hum a tune & balance her books, but nothing exceptional. Although, she did have a zest for life &wonderful, caring nature, often taking friends out of themselves Perhaps that’s Savant #vss365
In Natures battles, To be dominant, #Skirmish shows her head Prompting push & shove What works, what doesn’t Until eventually a winner emerges Just as in our day to day Some battles we win Some we loose The trick is, For us, To know when to carry on & when to walk away. #vss365
A little girl asks “Granny, how can I make my dress into #Taffeta gown, I have a very important ball to attend?” “Mmm let’s see” Her granddaughters vivid imagination always made her smile Dress made, the little girl ran to the bottom of the garden & danced away the day #vss365
Go beyond gate of rash decisions &acknowledge the tree of regret Here the #rook Black as menace Will point the way2the wise woman Of Mum’s the word She will remind U of Mums lessons of learn Now forgotten in life’s heat Then my friend hold them close&carry on yr journey #vss365
Her world A #masala of influences Pulling her this way & that Was she the captain of her own ship Or drifting into the eye of yet another storm She heard the call of a Gull Navigating Natures unpredictably Life she decided Is there to be lived &that Is what she will do #vss365
On a good day, She wrapped her soul, Into a protective #prism Of joyful colours So that, when most needed, She could encourage it To swim into dull mood And remind her To hold onto hope, That colour will Eventually Return to her dark days. #vss365
