Looking into the Universe.

A drawing by Phoebe Wood

Looking into the Universe, yes even I, little me, can look and I can see. It is such an amazing view I wonder how it all started, and how it grew. Did God create some sparkly lights and throw them like dice all scattering.

Little me, my big eyes beg the answers, my little body and legs are those of a dancer, light and bright I dance I am a starlight prancer.The Universe is so vast I cannot see an end or a beginning. I try to figure it all out  but it just sets my head a spinning.

If I look up while spinning round the stars and planets are a kaleidoscope pattern  merging into one. I love to do this as I feel the Universe and I are one. All worries hopes and fears rising up, up into the stars until boom they are gone .

Why do my eyes look so sad why are they full of fear . It is not what I see in the Universe but what is said on this earth, the sad things that I hear. I shall dance and I shall watch the Universe for all the answers are there. One day we all shall know and my eyes will loose their fear.

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light. My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well. I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.
