Some fall day

Today

I awake to the fall sun

warmth where sheltered

and the dog and I just walk

along the beach

savouring time and silence

time to simply be adrift in our thoughts

and I don’t pretend to wonder what his might be…

I work out, come home, cook

enjoy the simple things

clean my aquariums

marvel at babies, shrimp and new baby plants

then pack my to-go cup and

out we go again into this brilliant fall

with it’s weak but still warm sun

and no breeze

wander through the village

buy tea and simply sit

One handed reading journal articles,

the other giving the dog a head massage

waiting for a friend

….our dogs get along to our delight and wander off again

talking of everything from patients to squirrels the dogs can’t tear themselves away from

then hours later

thoroughly exhausted come home

to look up the chiton shell found on the beach

and barely move

streched out on the bed

content and bone tired.

Recharged, life in kilter…

an easy day when you rest your weary soul.

Kocaine Karolina- Elle King

“Kocaine Karolina”

Kocaine Karolina down to your bones
Fireworks in your heart make it far from home
Every morning you wake up alone just the same
Who would wanna live longer anyway

Oooooo
Easy days will come
When you rest your heavy soul
Oooooo
Easy days will come
When your hard living is done

Poke your skinny spirit to keep a man
Whats left of your flesh slipped from his hand
Lonely looking eyes have done you wrong
Don’t waste a way until your gone

Oooooo
Easy days will come
When you rest your heavy soul
Oooooo
Easy days will come
When your hard living is done

Oooooo
Easy days will come
When you rest your heavy soul
Oooooo
Easy days will come
When your hard living is done

Kocaine Karoline
Your down to your bones
Don’t waste away until your gone
Don’t waste away until your gone

Pondering this

There is the power to love

without holding back

however I can only meet you

At a depth where I have had the courage

to examine my own soul,

my own heart…and the dark recesses of my mind.

that I love completely the only way I know how

should not be something you resent me for

if you find the space between us lacking…

perhaps then,

you need to dive a little deeper within yourself

and if you want more

you need to know

The power lies within you alone, not another, to change
