Love prevails...

The third in my Poetic Reflections series - short poems and thoughts on writing and theme. Also available on my YouTube channel.

These poetic videos are invitations to slow down, and drop into a mindful moment in your day-to-day. A space for deepening our connection to the world. A communion with both our inner and outer landscapes.

Love prevails

This poem was written for a friend, following the death of her daughter. In it I consider the fragility of life, and the idea of both the beauty of finding freedom and the sadness of death.

As you’ll hear, it was the hardest of the three I have so far recorded to talk about. A sense of the poem still being so recent, and therefore, in a way, still ‘live’.

In the metaphor of the bird, trapped in the greenhouse, there was a feeeling of both fragility, and then, freedom.

As always, I’d love to hear your own reflections on my words in the comments below.

Thank you.
