Never lose sight

Tournesol dans un jardin 1 Minute

Sitting here

contemplate

not so clear

roles of late

sitting here

I am, I am,

pondering

reflecting

weighing pros

and also cons

making sure

I don’t lose sight

of simple basic principles,

As I think of this tonight

I ask for some guiding light

and grace to finally see

make sure I never

 ever ever

lose sight of things that matter.

This was originally written for a prompt 51 at Pooky Poetry on Loss of Sense but I misunderstood obviously, yet decided to post it anyway.

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

  3. I’m also glad you posted it anyway. Several of my Writing 101 posts were “mistakes” either from misunderstandings or else I hadn’t read it carefully and missed something. I also decided I liked them the way they were and published them anyway!

    1. Thanks so much, Karuna. It is a poem I would not have hesitated on my other blog but under my own name, I did take a chance and thought to myself, “Why not? It was meaningful when I wrote it, so go for it!”
