My grandparents on my father's side haven't lived long enough for me to meet them (or my father to actually know them). But I grew up beside the house they have lived in, and I've played and embraced the trees that they have touched. Note the hidden message.

“Come play with me.” Her giggles wrapped in innocence.

Writing about the inner child connection has been the core of my writings for the past year. How about you, do you feel and hear the child within?

I've actually written a book about it - Whispers of the Inner Child

Spring air has taught me freedom
My rain-touched soul always adored the smell
Sailing the melancholic seas with sails set high
Joy was a language I had to translate 
As if it's my own unique treasure 
And parents have burnt the map

I let my inner child show me joy 💚

We smile  a p p r o p r i a t e l y
Gnawing on a secret  a l o n e

No one survived girlhood clean 
Yet no story is written in stone

I bled on  p u r p o s e
With scissors between my forefinger and thumb

Riding the f o r c e of self-destruction 
I could not shape my existence into “fits-all”

A clear call for a  r e b i r t h 
Those walls were not mine to hold

I would have chosen sisterhood over silence 
Had I found one ready to fly

I was meant t o  s o a r
In the fields of possibilities

Raising a daughter makes me revisit my girlhood.

Our souls have OUTGROWN  s i l e n t  places
We've dressed our HEARTS in vulnerability
Only to discover heavy ghosts of the past mingling
With the forgotten, unnamed, erased and silenced
Dusted mirrors UNVEILING reflections of the feminine sacrifice 
From the MEMORY of ashes we rise now, giving it a voice
Rage is a language we speak fluently 
We feel TO TRANSFORM

It's been ages since I danced barefoot in the open fields, yet my feet still recall the joy they touched. Like clothes we wore still soaked with memories.

I swim in colours of my childhood reveries, walking with open heart on this milky way, where the child of the past is showing me how freeing it once felt to wear this ethereal soul woven with ancient stardust and sound.

Lost raindrop meets starlight, a reflection of the delicacy that ripples throughout our bodies attached to the palpable experience. Roam the fields of your consciousness freely, you are not lost, divert your gaze and focus on what you see, not what you think should await you there.

My heart walks on needles of shame and grief 
Gazing behind to see the seeds of love still growing 
Real, just changing shape like the seasons
Spreading over the wall we built
Neither of us knows how to break
Energy shifted with uneven effort
Silent knowing of shared light remains 
Like hearing echoes of existence
Recalling itself in another

Silent knowing of shared light 💫💜

Peace soft as snow
Covers my heated mind at nightfall

Poetry lives here
In the spaces between ribs and skin

I hold seeds of spring in my hands
Knowing spreads like mycelium

Not scared anymore 
Fingertips grasp the husk of the past

All the déjà vu’s of my youth
Took a seat at the table with me

Emptiness of hibernation 
Swept out with spring gale

Soul stares out the window 
Gazes towards the fields of opportunity

Oh, what you can give
Once you exhale all the boundaries

Peace soft as snow Covers my heated mind at nightfall Poetry lives here In the spaces between ribs and skin I hold seeds of spring in my hands Knowing spreads like mycelium Not scared anymore  Fingertips grasp the husk of the past All the déjà vu’s of my youth Took a seat at the table with me Emptiness of hibernation  Swept out with spring gale Soul stares out the window  Gazes towards the fields of opportunity Oh, what you can give Once you exhale all the boundaries

Poetry of spring 🌱
