Poem: Find a light


 

it creeps on you while you sleep

finds you defenceless

unable to pick up a fight

eating you from inside out

it gets difficult to find a light

you notice days pass

but your compass is lost

roaming the dark forest at night

with a burning mind

 

out of that darkness

tiny fingers wrap around mine

little human hugs me and holds me extra tight

dancing with the big nappy bum

to the duck song, and I smile

I can see the light

a reason to put up a fight

every day anew

for as long as I still have time

small everyday things

are balm to the heart

*

It's been a tough few months...as if motherhood isn't hard enough. And it's not covid, surprisingly.
