Speed ahead
to rack up
more dollops of delight
and forget
the painful procedure
of packing them
one by one
for others to enjoy
later.

It’s okay
to have a plan
and anticipate
the change,
preparing for a new life,
adjusting before
it happens.
But fear isn’t a weakness,
you can be scared
of what’s to come
even as you embrace it.
It doesn’t mean you fail,
it means you’re
still alive.
26:147
Calm your moment
to remember
routine and memory
isn’t always
a struggle to capture.
There are times
it falls into place
and you can
stop to smile
and lift your head
to feel the sun.
26:146
Recharge
with a favourite story
revisited
years later,
still the same
still a comfort
that kick starts
imagination
and a will
to always
keep looking
and believing.
26:145
The decision
to embrace
the descending darkening
and relearn
to move
with sound
and intuition.
I do not miss the light,
the in-balance,
just the sight of a smile
and the easy reassurance
of the ground’s position.
26:144
Organise a moment
to drive a life,
inspiring
ad romanticising
through tough everyday
doubts.
Keep the spark alive
or smother it forever
with your own hand,
leaving burnt skin
and the sting
of empty.
26:143
Suspend the inevitable
to find a moment
to breathe
without consequence,
without fear,
without the need to fight
and prove
you are worth
the oxygen.
26:142
Lonely years
prepare you
for the joy
of being remembered
and welcomed
by the new,
embracing
the moment
you’re ready
to try again.
26:141
Relax into guilt
but know
you’ll earn it
with ten days
of work
and the in-between
smoothing
and filling
in store.
26:140
Gaze at the small
that demands
devotion willingly
and without resentment.
Such happiness
is beautiful,
even when
it’s not
your own.
