it was easy

dusk arising

it was easy
going out to the isles today
to sit and watch
how the wind and tide create the day
after the dawn had
told them 'go ahead'
it was easy
to contemplate good fortune
with the perpetual wind
crashing those waves
against the rocks
of steadfast endurance
it was easy
to think like that
from the comfort of
Avening ward
surrounded by love
and goodwill.

    Your words make those trips to watch tides spreading good fortune sound easy when surrounded by such ward-care D.A. - am with you in thought and spirit dear friend.

      Thank you dear Fay. Was only in the ward for a few hours for some I.V. but the creative mind wanders.

          I sincerely hope it was as easy as you suggest .. not just for your good self mate, but for any and all of those who may be required to undertake a similar journey now or in the future ... Anyway, here's me seriously hoping it does the trick my friend ......... and not a bad bit o scribbling either I might add ..... N

            Thanks Neville, I'll be there every three weeks so long as the treatments are being effective..... after that who knows? But my minds eye took me to a more reflective place.

            Just love this beautifully written ode to the joy of the coming day and to the hope of better times! You shine!!! My well wishes to you!

              Thank you Jennifer, a positive outlook and a restful day.... an opportunity to reflect upon the wonders of creation and the reinvigoration of one's spiritual self.
