Shine your light in the deep well, Where the darkness swallows me. Dig dig down deep. You ex-ca-vate hope and love Buried beneath the clag. Cloyed, cramped, clumped. With your bare hands you dig, You scrape away the fetid, The thorns and the stones. I love your unsightly face Streaked in my ignominy, That gore … Continue reading Mud in the well…
Baby has cold. Baby has a cold; watery eyes, Snotty nose. Staccato cough. Cough. Cough. Baby has a cold; Mucus covered lullabies, halt. The night-light dim dimming in the day, And bunny lies lonely by his head. Baby has a cold; Baby's in bed. Out of bed, in my arms. Baby cries. Red eyes, Rosie … Continue reading Poem: Baby has a cold

Time goes so quickly, When I'm moved to praise you! When you're filling my heart And I am thankful, the minutes slip by. Is it because I'm looking up And no longer looking at my feet? Finally seeing your light and glory, And not sluggish darkness that weighs me? Down, so down, down it threatens … Continue reading Poem: Time goes quickly

That light grows, like you in my womb More than love – something else… An awareness that you, little you, Will change our lives forever. We … Continue reading Baby
Excuse the reflective mood. Lent starts today, so it's got me thinking a bit more about others. I stumbled across this while flicking through Pinterest this morning: Very much the theme for my life at the moment, my new job working for ASLAN, putting pen to paper again (ok, tapping on keys) with HJ - it … Continue reading Hello Ash Wednesday
