To find true rest

Feeling strained,thoughts all a-riot,
I feel unable to be quiet.
I feel tense,I can’t sit down..
My eyes glare out and how I frown!

I talk too fast,I lack patience
I lose touch with my common sense.
To follow instructions from a guide
Seems harder when my mind is tired.

I miss you, love, so slow the seconds wind.
Posted on June 11
It seemed to me my vision and my mind
A template made to put into the world
Brought you into being by my side.

I miss you, love, so slow the seconds wind.
I creep into the space between the words
I made you in my vision and my mind

Is there only chaos, no design?
Are we dust around the spaces whirled?
I bring you into being by these lines

I smell your skin and see your eyes alive
I move my head ,oh you have disappeared
It seems both from my vision and my mind

Why did all the pit props fall down blind?
I crept under coal, with darkness smeared
A person alien to humankind

Where is my death, when it’s no longer feared?
Where is my love when no-one else is here.
I imagined you in vision and in mind
I pulled you into being, which one died?

I discovered once that deep inside.
Peace and stillness still abide.
To find that place we each must be
Desireless, till at last we see.

Deep ,deep down there is true rest
And warmly there our souls are blessed.
All we have to do is wait
To get in touch with this dear state.

We share affinity with trees,
With flowers,cats, bats and bumble bees.
Let all thought and controls go.
Let this,the mind, become more slow,

Perception’s better when we’re still
Emptied of desire and will;
Deep inside a melody
stirs our hearts and sets them free.

Loneliness and care homes

https://www.thegoodcaregroup.com/news/loneliness-and-care-homes/

I thought that nursing homes and care homes was just people the opportunity to be with other people but my brother was in one during 2020 up into August 2021 when he died of pneumonia. Family couldn’t visit him for a lot of the time, reading all these articles I just did not know. I think once it’s safe some of this you consider being a befriender or volunteer to do visits to someone once a week. Its better not to talk too much. Just be present
