Inspiration

Sweeping hills caress the sky,
Animals roam freely across my mind's eye,
A place where dreams can fly,
A place to reach so high.

When I find that place,
I will have run the race,
I will have set the pace,
I will have won the race.

Inspiration comes to me,
I wish to use it sparingly,
To save some for every 'Me',
Across my years of life I see.

A palate so broad,
A slate so clean,
A brush to paint,
This life, a dream.

New Beginnings

It's 4 am and I am awoken by little Bailey girl,
She is our new puppy, full of life and energy,
Making me evaluate my life - sending me into a whirl,
Feelings I cannot fully describe, flood me.

Family having babies,
Making me feel sad, that time is over for me,
But I am glad it is over -  Am I not? Strange....
A sense of loss overwhelms me.

Where to from here? What has God planned for me?
Settling down, still to find that place.
Yet, at the same time, I want to travel, explore,
I come alive, when I am lost in an experience.

I love my husband, my children, my family.
I think this may be... an existential crisis....:-)
