An early morning stroll along the bank of the Royal Canal

I spent yesterday morning in the Botanic Gardens. We are lucky to have such an amenity on our doorstep which has the wonderful advantage of being free to enter.

A simple thought for the day

Sadness gripped me

Holding back that hidden tear

In a world so filled with fear

Lonely in a crowded space

Searching for a warm embrace.

---

Filled with others expectations

Tangled response, complications

Reaching for that perfect form

Sinking drowning mental storm.

---

Sleepless nights twisting turning

Candles now at both ends burning

Tension born from daily trauma

Depression writes a scary drama.
