12.01.2022 Happy Mothers Day Miss you Mum

05.01.2022 I drifted outdoors into the path of the on coming storm. I was mesmerised by the music in my ears.... The slow melodic beat of the song resonated through my headphones and directly into my soul. My breathe took up rhythm with my feet as I walked into the endless night. The darkness closed in on me as the sandy track narrowed to the nearby beach. And as I stepped out of this enclosure of coastal scrub and inky blackness, I was struck by the overwhelming vastness...it was li...ke I opened my eyes for the very first time. This was the essence of life. Standing on the beach completely alone in the dim veil of cloudy covered moonlight. Now my heart took up the rythym of the haunting music in my ears. We were at one. I could see the crashing white waves rising and falling before me. I could sense the density of the wet sand beneath my bare feet. I could smell the salty sea air as it filled my lungs. I could feel the wind on the tiny follicles of hair gently caressing my skin. I stood there feeling a mixture of all emotions. I looked up into the stormy sky and I spoke to it. 'See me'. The storm picked up and pushed itself against my body. The cool wind hit my face with unrelenting force and the wetness of the sprinkling rain ran beside it. The storm was enveloping me. 'I feel you' I said to the imposing elements closing in on me. I crouched down on the sand and with my finger I slowly and purposefully wrote 'I...am...here'. As if scripting a profound statement to the world. As I left the beach I knew by morning the words would be washed away..... By KJMcNaughton

03.01.2022 Happy Earth Day

03.01.2022 It's your birthday today Mum And it doesn't feel the same You can't blow out your candles Or hear me sing your name... You can't open the presents Picked out with love for you Or gather around with family And have a drink or two It's your birthday today mum It's a milestone to celebrate The life of a wonderful lady Who bravely met her fate It's a time to remember you But we never actually forget You're a part of all of us Whose lives are not finished yet I hear your cheekiness in your grandchildren See your eyes in the reflection of me Value the lessons that you taught us Within us you'll always be It's your birthday today mum And I'll try not to cry too much You made me the strong woman I am And I will try to act as such But damn it I'm gonna miss you As the years pass me by And I'll remember you, my precious mother For the rest of my life
