Poem
Another take-off, another landing, Sleep can just wait. Resting is for wimps, we live for the rush, which adrenalin will always bring. Then one day, out of the blue, It hits you – a reminder Of who and what we really are. You fall to the floor, Those around you are aghast, The Core has reminded you that, You are not indestructible after all. The first time it happens, You just play through it and carry on. The second time, you blame those around you, for the pressure of their endless demands. One day you stand, On the edge of the precipice, Looking at the scars from those late nights, the parties, fast food and flights. The Core has cried out, For love, care and attention, Act now, or waste all that you have achieved. Nurture your Core, Go fly a kite, Dance with the breeze, In harmony with Nature, to be as one. Make it move with the trees Swoop with the swallows Rise up aloft, like a child set free. Take care of your Core Replenish it and listen You are your Core Your spirit, your life. Your Core drives all that is inside you, A gentle mother to support you, Your heart, your empathy and your inner most dreams. It’s your creativity, your awareness, Enabling you to listen, to learn and when is the right time to speak. Feed it with sensations, Like the warm sun on your face Let it find its natural rhythm, Feeling the wind across your brow Then bring it back to earth, Sense the sand between your toes Let it be replenished with the blood rushing through your veins. We are not invincible We are weak cells of just flesh and blood We are nature’s child A simple creature amongst all. Go fly that kite, Embrace life and celebrate living, But do it now, don’t wait for those warnings, As it’s never too late to start, but the end is the end.
