'Nourishment’, by Michelle
A healthy body is quite effortless to maintain
With food providing nourishment for muscles, heart and brain.
Much more elusive and difficult to find
Are the ingredients needed to maintain a happy mind.
Become enraptured by music,
absorbed in the book you’ve longed to read
Gaze in awe and wonder at the flowers you’ve grown from seed.
Simple achievements and activities that bring you pleasure
The people you love and the memories that you treasure
These are not components easily mixed in a bowl
But still create a recipe so advantageous for the soul
‘Just thinking’ Poetry & Artworks by Julia Cripps
Thinking and feeling of emptiness and chill,
Sunshine reflecting shadows on the ground beneath,
clouds billowing above in shapes and forms.
Moments of solitude and silence,
Sounds of comfort familiar noises,
Meditating from the warmth of the sun,
body reviving energy levels.
Memories of far-off places, happy reflections,
but some put aside, never to be forgotten.
Flowing shapes, small pear drop shapes,
the eyes to the smoothness of the skin,
reaching the end of no return,
as they fade from the face.
Wiped away, tears no more, as the mind meanders on, just thinking.
