and breathe today
Self-belief can take you places
Good day to you and happy Thursday – it’s Poetry Corner day today, so a very warm welcome to you.
Explore the wisdom in your mind.
A gasp for air,
thirsty for life,
battling the storms,
of trouble and strife.
A messy mind,
a broken heart,
stuck in the moment,
where do you start?
Believe in you,
the strength within,
your beautiful heart,
desire to win.
For self-belief,
can you take you places,
flying high,
amongst smiling faces.
You can do it,
know this is true,
have faith in yourself,
and your dreams too.
Your inner wisdom,
will show you the way,
a new you is born,
believe in you today.

raise your spirits
Every Thursday on this blog I post one of my poems.
May the words whisper deep wisdom into your mind and soul and ignite a new you, to RISE UP and TAKE CHARGE of your life.
It Aint That Easy!
A life of love,
happiness to find,
it ain’t that easy,
with a busy mind.
A life of treasure,
hope and glory,
it ain’t that easy,
with my story.
A life of greatness
full of light,
it ain’t that easy,
in the darkest night.
A life of giving,
abundant and true,
it ain’t that easy,
when I feel blue.
If it ain’t that easy,
what will you do,
to raise your spirits,
and see a new you?
If it ain’t that easy,
how can you share,
the best of you,
giving self-care?
If it ain’t that easy,
what will you say,
to brighten your mind,
and enjoy everyday?
If it ain’t that easy,
what is your plan,
to change for the better,
be a happier man?
It’s all in your thoughts,
and daily endeavours,
to make it more easy,
embrace life’s true pleasures.

with wonder and doubt
Every Thursday is Poetry Corner time. Oh, I do really love writing these poems! As always, thank YOU for being here.
May these poetic words ignite your inner ambition.
Warrior in Fight
Why are we here?
What’s this all about?
Questions unfold,
with wonder and doubt.
The deepest you,
knows everything,
footprints of knowledge,
answers to bring.
Without the how,
before the when,
life evolved,
absent of men.
No truer mind,
free from pain,
loves abundantly,
with nothing to gain.
Darkness alone,
rescues no light,
ignite your ambition,
like a warrior in fight.

Everyone in the community knew each other and looked out for each other.
MY SWEET SWEET MEMORIES FROM THE LATE 70S & EARLY 80S
You could leave your house door open during the night;
You could go for an early sole run in the park with no fear;
You would chat outside to your next door neighbour for hours;
No one carried a mobile phone and everyone coped fine;
Children played in large groups outside after school;
Local playgrounds were filled with children, without the need for parents being there;
Children used their imagination and played ‘made up’ games with their friends;
You only had one true best friend but it was called a ‘best pal’;
We didn’t have a landline at home and no one really cared;
All family dinners were home made;
A holiday was going on family day trips to the closest seaside location;
There was only three TV channels and we felt spoiled for choice;
If you could afford a taxi, you were rich;
If you missed the bus, you had to wait another hour on the next one;
Those tiny bronze half pence pieces existed and you felt you had loads of money;
Children would jump for joy with a 10 pence mix up;
Children played water fights during the summer holidays with empty washing up liquid bottles;
Everyone in the community knew each other and looked out for each other;
Hardly anyone had a car;
Getting a 50 pence toy from the local shop, felt like Christmas;
The milkman delivered your glass bottles of milk on your front door step every morning;
As children, we played, football rounders, hide and seek, skipping ropes, kick the can, hopscotch, obstacle courses, sprint races, tennis, swingball, talent shows…and all outdoors!
My Dad, Grans, Granda, Aunties, Uncle, Godmother and some good School Pals were all living back then – now sadly missed . . . . . . oh how I remember when!

tough pasts are gone.

set your sail
I’m going to make every Thursday on this blog “POETRY CORNER”. The reason being, I really LOVE writing poetry, especially with a positive spin on it or words that showcase a deep sense of inner wisdom.
So today I share with you Poetry Corner #1:
Being YOU
To feel alive,
fresh and true,
steal the show,
by being YOU.
Never let,
a negative voice,
hold you back,
or change your choice.
For you are special,
one of a kind,
uniquely passionate,
with a genius mind.
So set your sail,
to better lands,
where your dreams,
are in your hands.

I am here because you shine
I closed my eyes and walked into the light.
There I met an older and much wiser woman.
She smiled at me.
She held a beautiful azure blue flower in her hand.
She took my hand and placed the flower in it.
Without any words, she gave me this message…..
Your magical heart can make the invisible visible.
I am here because you shine.
The blue of this flower represents the ocean and the sky.
The petals represent the fragility of life.
The wonder is not in the flower.
The miracle is in you.
The old lady then disappeared.
The flower turned into tiny little seeds in the palm of my hand.
I then knew, it was time to self-nurture and grow.

see your future blend with your dreams
Never try to escape from your inner light, for there lies the truth and wisdom in everything that you purposefully do.
Always look out of the bright and hopeful window and see your future blend with your dreams.
Generate a warm feeling of abundance that attracts wellness and happiness into your life.
Remember, without you, I am nothing and your love will find a way.

clouds move the rain
Take a deep breath in and know you have this moment right here, right now and no one can take this specialness away from you.
BREATHE AGAIN
Each space in time,
can give you this,
the calmest breath,
serenity so bliss.
For when you know,
to breathe again,
the sun it rises,
clouds move the rain.
A chosen moment,
yours alone,
heavens open,
a miracle zone.

petals of love
Amidst the clouds,
of a foggy mind,
hard to see,
difficult to find.
Appears hope,
just a glimmer,
igniting life,
joy does simmer.
Time means nothing,
as people and places,
open our hearts,
smiles on their faces.
Flowers like heaven,
flourish and bloom,
petals of love,
enlighten each room.
Be still in the now,
as heartbeats awaken,
a wonderful you,
is there for the taking.

Just start NOW!
I have been blogging on and off for a number of years now. I absolutely love writing, especially creative writing that has a poetic and uplifting feel about it.
The only thing that keeps me going and writing in this blog for so long, is that I continue to write about things, I really love writing about. That, for me, is one of the keys to becoming a successfull blogger.
The word “success” can mean many things to bloggers but for me it means, loving the whole creative process of the blogging journey and engaging with the blogging community that are so encouraging and supportive.
So if you’re thinking of starting a blog, please don’t think, just start NOW. Don’t think about, what shall I write about to get followers and what will the people out there want from me? Write about what YOU are deeply passionate about and believe me your best writing WILL lead you to success in a much more meaningful and fulfilling way.
So what are you waiting for? I told you not to think about!
Go Go GO FOR IT lovely you – you’ve GOT THIS!

when stuggles keep coming
The greatest stuck road,
can hold you back,
invisible barriers,
keep you off track.
A bumpy path,
often uphill,
it takes real effort,
and lots of skill.
But never is there,
a journey so tough,
that is able to stop you,
no matter how rough.
For deep passion prevails,
every single time,
when struggles keep coming,
and nothing seems fine.
Your wonderful heart,
goes through every test,
until you reach the top,
where the view is the best.

a breath in time
The space to think,
on a white blank page,
a breath in time,
lives an empty stage.
Thoughts they simmer,
only to unfold,
memories of love,
treasures of gold.
Invisible hearts,
surround your being,
the clock moves on,
your life has meaning.

your every why
Feelings have power, feelings can speak, feelings can take you, to the mountain peak. Feelings can hurt, feelings can breathe, feelings can lead you, so you can achieve. Feelings are precious, feelings are true, feelings will determine, every part of you. Feelings can unite, feelings can fly, feelings can control, your every why. Feelings are unique, feelings are you, feelings are loving, can you feel me too?

vibrant throughout
With its twists and turns, and turbulent times, with its happy memories, and sweet sublimes. Life is colour, and vibrant throughout, Life is beautiful, it's all about. With its songs of mercy, and praise in between, with its dance of joy, and what has been. Life is precious, and tender in touch, Life is magical, I love it so much.
I set you free
I tried so hard, to win your heart, I gave it my all, right from the start. I guess you didn't, want that too, I felt your resistance, through and through. So I moved on, then you came back, for another go, to get on the right track. My soul felt heavy, for this buried hurt, cannot be separated, from cold dirt. I set you free, to live and learn, deep true love, you have to earn. It takes respect, trust and forgiving, loyalty and smiles, the same joint vision. Goodbye my precious, may you find your one, to my dreams on the horizon every mile I run. by Clarabelle 3 November 2021 London, UK
this is your call
Do not try to be loved, for that force never wins, opening up your heart, is where attraction begins. Do not try to be wanted, for this wonderful you, is unique and special, for the right person too. Do not try to be liked, for you have it all, talented and beautiful, this is your call. Do not try to be something, you never want to be, always stay you, enjoy being "me".

a miracle glowing
What is love, without surprise, a caring thought, heartfelt eyes. What is kindness, without the giving, touching lives, soulful living. What is forgiveness, without a prayer, sharing you, unique and rare. What is gratitude, without the knowing, a thankful bond, a miracle glowing. What is here, without your presence, healing time, your very essence. by Clarabelle 1 November 2021 London, UK
give life your all
When the wild wind blows, and you're down on your knees, begging for mercy, praying for please. Lift your head high, stand up tall, break down those barriers, give life your all. Many would hope, for your inner strength, running on empty, but going every length. Your champion heart, can carry you forever, up the highest mountain, across each raging river. See yourself winning, battling each storm, building the new, challenging the norm. by Clarabelle 29 October 2021 London, UK
forever inspiring
You're the Star, that shines so bright, giving me hope, bringing me light. You're the Star, in my heart, forever inspiring, igniting each part. You're the Star, strong in power, fading the darkness, sparkling each hour. You're the Star, soulful in time, guiding to goodness, simply divine. By Clarabelle 28 October 2021 London, UK
growing so free

missing their touch
Most of us who have suffered the great loss of a precious loved one, may indeed connect to the following poem. I want you to know that I feel you and I truly understand the deepest hurt losing a loved one can bring.
WHEN YOU LOSE A LIFE
When you lose a life, you loved so much, absence of hugs, missing their touch. You grieve their heart, you once embodied before, many sleepless nights, craving them more. An invisible pain, that never goes away, so lost without them, a hate for each day. No one shares, the hurt in you, life feels numb, purposeless too. But know their presence, lives in your soul, a bond so strong, making you whole. Believe they stand, right by your side, giving you energy, watching with pride. They are your candle, giving you light, they are your blanket, comforting you at night. They listen to your whispers, guide your inner thoughts, solving your problems, untying the knots. So remember their smile, laughter and glow, bringing you solice, when you feel low. Know that their spirit, embraces your love, forever your star, shining from above. By Clarabelle 24 October 2021 London, UK

Beauty embraces energetic light forever inspiring enchanting the night. Hope in your heart unlocks your mind captivating magic you're one of a kind.

She said, “be brave”.
Today she dreams of what will be her vibrant heart beating free. Her thoughts they shine beneath the sun glowing brightly in everyone. When it was dark in pasts gone by she battled her way she challenged her why. She said "be brave" be the one who strives to make it until it's done. No other path could take her where the heavens opened soul stripped bare. She gives her mind to this cause silence in love kind self-applause. She raised her spirit embraced inner beauty to achieve her purpose she made it her duty. By Clarabelle 19 October 2021
“remember your strength….”
“My love for writing to you, brings us so much closer together.” Clarabelle
Castaway troubles
live in the light
beauty is being
sunny and bright.
Now is your chance
to forgive and move on
your rainbow of love
awakens a new dawn.
When midnight calls
and dark skies appear
remember your strength
why you are here.
Your future is glowing
shining from your heart
tomorrow brings treasures
but today you must start.

EMBRACING THE MOON
Twists and turns

in this magical story.
Miracles sweep
under our feet

“A time to listen,
a time to reflect,
nothing is real,
nothing perfect.”
I wrote this for you today, in the moment and captivated by the feeling….
LIFE AS WE KNOW IT
Across the seas,
I feel your smile,
heaven opens,
the rainbow mile.
A time to listen,
a time to reflect,
nothing is real,
nothing perfect.
Life as we know it,
will pass you by,
tick tock goes the clock,
no reasons why.
So cherish the good days,
embrace the rain,
it’s in moments like these,
we castaway pain.
Today just savour,
the clouds moving slow,
to your dreams in your heart,
let that love glow.

I was out walking the other day and took the photo below, I just thought the scenery around me was stunning. Beautiful Bonny Scotland, on a winter’s day.

Something beginning with me.
I looked at my life,
And discovered the vision I see.

I spied with my little eye,
Something beginning with happy.

As my dreams come true.
I’m here,
Always believing in you.

Touched by emotion,
Loving life.
Freeing my spirit,
From worry and strife.
Keeping it together,
Hoping for all.
Rising faith,
Breaks down the brick wall.
In the twist of the wind,
No enemies appear.
All friends together,
Filled with good cheer.
An unfulfilled heart,
Takes you beyond.
Frozen miracles,
Reflected in the pond.
Catch the light,
Let it shine all around.
Mystic and magic,
Will soon be found.

Into the night.
My praying heart,
Is touching me,
In candlelight.
My passionate heart,
Is creating me,
This is right.

Sprinkles of Dreams
They sparkle,
I smile with delight.
Loving hands,
Glowing in the light.
They tell a story,
Of hope and truth,
Like the charming spirit,
Of a child’s fairy tooth.
They touch another,
A soft gentle caress,
Washing away problems,
Sorting out the mess.
And glistening in my palm,
The miracle dust holds,
Sprinkles of dreams,
As my passion unfolds.
