Topic: Time To Bloom
A poem about navigating changes in circumstances after a discussion I had with two differant young people. They are both looking forward to next year with a bit of nervousness thrown in. They are thinking about flying out of thier family nests and taking on the world in the New Year. It is now Springtime in New Zealand and they willl be making their life changing move in summer.
Time To Bloom
All the seeds sown in me.
About to germinate.
Earth circling on it's axis
Aligns with the sun.
Bursting light through dark clouds.
Creating tears of joy.
Droplets sprinkling me.
Time to burst out and sprout.
Under the sun's spotlight..
No longer a spectator.
Waiting for my show..
My time my time.
To grow,
Sunlight and water.
Sunlight and wind.
Sunlight in the stillness.
Dark nights getting shorter.
No better time to be me.
Sitting in familiar fertile soil .
Sits my anxious roots.
No longer looking for comfort.
Just change and posibilities.
Uncomfortable, mixed emotions
overthinking what will be.
Springtime turning the spotlight
The spotlight on me.
Sunlight, sunlight , pulling at me.
Sunlight sunlight.
lifting me.
Time for me to break through.
Sunlight and water.
Sunlight and wind.
Sunlight in the stillness.
Dark nights getting shorter.
No better time to be me..
I'm branching out and flowering.
My limbs getting stronger.
Empowering me
Clearing out the rubbish.
That's trying to cling to me.
Sunlight and water.
Sunlight and wind.
Sunlight in the stillness.
Dark nights getting shorter.
No better time to be me.
