A Jinjagoliath poem:
First published: 1st April 2022

Listen to poem:
I feel there's something heavy Pressing on my bones Medusa's gaze has got me Turning into stone.. My life needs new perspective Like some higher place to view A log jam in my thinking Or my prayers desire review It's noisy and unsettling I cannot find that space Where I sit and welcome stillness To caress and kiss my face A wild storm shouts around me And the structures rattle out I need peace and understanding To explain that noise without Or maybe just the quiet, Silent place within Is the park bench where I settle While the world creates it's din As in nature's restful bosom I can reconnect again As trees dance to the birdsong And the rhythm of the rain.

Your first verse grabbed my attention and I was thoroughly engaged in your poem. I liked "Medusa's gaze has got me Turning into stone.." Your poem spoke to be for the need for tranquility in order to reconnect...and a park bench is the perfect place. Faving this one. Enjoy your evening, Sara

Thank you Karen! As the weather warms.. those park benches certainly appear luxuriant. May you find yours for recovery and re-energising your spirit. Blessings, Cx
