Protector

Tournesol Photography, Poetry 2014-03-20 1 Minute

boul St Laurent Montréal Street art, October 2013

I’m always there

when you least expect it

even where

you don’t see fit

I go places

leaving traces…

I am the breeze

sending vibrations

unsettling, unease

demotivations…

whisper my faint sound

warning you when

danger is around

guarding,

protecting,

so you can perform

your gift

your art.

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com View all posts by Tournesol

  Thank you…I did the poem rather quickly but wanted to show off that art work. For months I would drive by and turn at that corner and never get a good shot, last Fall I walked from work to this place (2 hours) to take a bunch of shots of amazing murals. I have a lot more to take come warmer weather.

    When I went to UK many many moons ago, our tour guide said he didn’t have an accent, we Canadians did…haha…I never thought about that until then.

Many times, this is what it feels like when I think of my departed grandmothers.
