New Beginnings (3 Sonnets)







Leaves
Published 1st January 2024

We are like trees, with roots into the earth,
Our roots of how we were once planted since our birth,

From seed to sapling and various forms,
We grew over the years and weathered some storms,

Don’t make bad environments stump how to grow so high,
Stand tall, bloom, reach those branches to the sky.

As each year passes we shed old leaves, to leave the past upon,
New leaves emerge, new beginnings as life carries on,

The autumn leaves have dropped & are out of sight,
Spring forth into action while the sun shines bright.

You can always flourish after the leaves fall,
Drop seeds of knowledge & wisdom for all,

New life, new year, new times & new leaves,
Embrace it with love, positivity & peace.

Midlife Crisis
Published 31st January 2024

When you get to a certain time in your life,
Weather you’re a woman or a man,
A midlife crisis may forced upon us,
To change everything it can,

It may be something you thought of for a while,
Stuck in a rut, thinking everything is boring,
Or a major traumatic family change,
Which makes you feel worth ignoring,

Daydreaming of happy nostalgia & how you used to be,
Ruminating on the bad times & mistakes of the past,
Getting irritable & restless by other peoples choices,
Regret from missed opportunities of relationships that didn’t last,

Impulsive behaviour like spending,
Or indulging in infidelity if that’s what you desire,
For others we have decreased these actions,
We’re looking to relight that fire,

Bouts of sadness & joy,
Mixed feelings about where you are at,
Thinking of starting a new life,
New people, new career or even new habitat,

Though we can’t change that we’re ageing,
Grey hair & wrinkles show us that we’re getting old,
We can identify & accept these changes,
And realise that it’s beyond our control,

Prioritise self-care & look after yourself,
Find purpose & goals to pursue,
This is only the ‘middle’ of your life,
There’s more to come from you.

Grounding
Published 30th May 24

When you feel flustered, at the end of your tether,
Good & bad days, just like the unpredictable British weather,

It is a known fact that nature is good for our mental health,
It’s a connectedness feeling with others & ourselves,

Get yourself out in the sun, rain or wind, & feel the elements flow,
Nature can ease your mind, where you can let your worries go,

It’s a place where you can relax & drop your defences,
Grounding mindfully by using all your senses,

Being connected calms you & helps relaxation,
It restores your well-being & gives you revitalisation,

Look after this beloved Earth that we love,
Enjoy it all from the ground below to the sky above,

Accept the beauty that is freely all around you,
Maybe the trees, clouds & flowers like looking at you too.
