I am like an elderly tree stretched in all directions, changing by the seasons, empty of leaves in the winter, huddling into myself, and blossoming in the spring. I plan but don’t always know where I’m going, especially as my body ages. Yet I keep extending deep into my roots.
It’s been a long time since I posted on my website. I’ve been in a dry mental state, allowing aging and health issues, as well as the ugliness of politics, consume and overtake me. But I’m now out of the doldrums and refocusing back into my positive self.
Over the years I have written numerous pieces of poetry, beyond those shared in my book, Everything Special, Living Joy. I have decided to share others on my website. I hope you will enjoy and find some solace in them, as well as other blogs I hope to write in the future.
What a beautiful piece of what is present in your heart. It made me feel pensive and heartfelt inside myself – so thank you!
Thank you Martha. Your words and support mean a lot. Love, Roberta
