Darkness


As the days, weeks, months and years go by I have learnt that unkind thoughts can and do invade my mind at times.  But I like to think that I am learning to retract and replace such thoughts with gentler, kinder more forgiving ones.  This poem reflects that intention.

Darkness

​​Inky darkness fills my mind
With racing thoughts, of love unkind.
Wanton hope, like blended strokes
Brings balming waves, to soothe these times.

For The Love Of Rhyme

Image
Expressions through my ‘ love of rhyme’  and short stories are my way of opening the window to the world and hopefully throwing some light out there for others to share and enjoy. Life is a journey that is unique for each of us, and I invite you now to accompany me, stepping back in time to those moments where my thoughts and feelings brought forward such expressions. I cannot promise anything from my work other than a varied, often colourful and descriptive, deep and meaningful, often questioning and nostalgic, with the occasional quirkiness and comedy thrown in for good measure.  One thing you can be certain of it is totally my perspective on life as I have experienced it. Enjoy! If you like this poem please feel free to share, as it may just be what someone needs to brighten their day.

Sky Cries

Sky Cries The sky cries gentle drops of  rain That form spattering patterns upon the  ground Rivulets of water running here and  there Freely flowing to who knows  where A solitary bird up in a  tree Sings songs of gratitude to the  sky Mother Earth in all her  glory Receives these blessings to continue her  story © Cheryl Mary Coleman, 2016  –  Expression #6 31.8.16 If you like this poem please feel free to share, as it may just be what someone needs to brighten their day.

Strong

This poem was written at a time when my strength and faith were needed the most.  My family and I were waiting for news of my son, Matthew, who at that time was missing. As my mind was screaming, my heart was hoping. Strong Like a mountain standing  strong   Love and faith can do no  wrong   What once was, now is  gone   As life begins, a different  song   Stripping bare, to see what’s  there   The naked truth behind the  glare   Revealing what is in us  all   A need to rise and then to  fall   In the stillness from the  sounds   A peace untold is what is  found   Where strings on hearts become  unbound   And love forever, does  surround   © Cheryl Mary Coleman, 2016  –  Expression #72   20.12.16 –  cherylmarycoleman.com If you like this poem please feel free to share, as it may just be what someone ne...
