Almost There

Almost there

you are breathing through

and you have healers helping too.

These past few months

seem like a trial

and all along, and all the while

you kept on going

though sometimes slower

but here you are

and here we show

abundance comes

the load will lighten

sun through the clouds

indeed is brighter

and all we want you to do

is keep the faith

when feeling blue.

Your woolly companion,

always by your side,

is all you need

and soon you’ll glide

over every bump and bruise

and tune back into your old muse

always up,

never back,

keep on going along this track.

You have laid the ground where flowers grow

and the healthy Viburnum surely shows

you are a whisperer to animal and plant

and Pansy blue will enchant.

This warmer autumn is a treat,

so rest some days and take a seat.

Never meant to always go

full speed ahead

and by now you know

1 step forward and 1 step back

brings the present, there is no slack

you see the way,

you are on the path

rest today, now, and meditate

the garden blooms, there’s rain on slate

and you are best learning to

breathe each moment and follow through

let all your muscles just relax

full speed ahead is not for you

patience brings the best, at a time

that suits you best

so best you let all else subside

and when it’s time you will glide

like a butterfly on the breeze

rest, just rest

please, yes please.

Breathe every moment in

and let this new cycle bring flowerings.
