Who's Holding Up The Sky
free verse poetry

Arching my head back,
back as far as it can go
I gape up with curious wonderment
Stretching out before me,
a rich blue colour splays across a boundless space called,

The Sky

All is calm, all is still
Pure silence surrounds me as
I stand and take in this mystical scene,
observed from fresh innocence,
for the very first time

I gasp at the candy floss shapes,
splattered across the immense expanse
How do they stay up all by themselves?
Inquisitive puzzlement pulses through my newness
Childlike questions evolve through my mind

How did I get here, and where have I come from?
What’s behind the blueness?
Where does it go, and what does it feel like?
Who is holding it up, and will I ever know?

The fragments of memory fray and whisper at the edges of time…
Moons and stars have passed,
from once upon a season,
when my self-awareness first emerged

how,
what,
why,
when,
where

Who put me here?

This is how I remember it,
wondering how and why I was me,
and what was this unknown place,
When I was two or three,
alone in the garden,
on a beautiful summer’s day

Dear friends and clients,

Home massages are available for my current clients, as well as any friend recommendations.

Or perhaps, an Indian Head Massage/Chair massage if a large massage couch just won't fit into your space.

* Considering a body massage? I have a heavy couch, so please be aware that I would need to have available parking very close by. And if you live on an upper floor, I'd need the use of an elevator.

The Magic of a New Year — free verse poetry

I open my arms to embrace you,
Honoured, although apprehensive,
How did you arrive again, so soon?
I smell your perfume,
And gently kiss your velvet skin,
I remember your soft, warm breath that brushes my face.
I see your huge arena, overflowing with possibilities,
I acknowledge the warmth of your breasts,
I wish to accept the gifts of opportunities you lovingly parade.
You return my hold, and you return my gaze,
As you look into my eyes, you affirm and reassure me,
And so I encompass and cherish your infinite power.
I am now clothed with an ancient power,
Prepared to wage war with your hidden storms,
As I commence a new battle with fear, I stare at its treacherous face.
As I buckle myself with a shield of courage,
This new lap that I have endured many times before,
And countless burns from the intensity of its fires,
I’ll arduously climb the steepest of mountains.
I am afraid, but audacious
Prepared to scream victory at the highest climax of every new song,
I am here, this is me, this is now.
