Feng Shui

 Fire, Air, Earth, Metal & Water

elements so strong

part of the world’s order

do they contest with one another?

or guide us closely

like a true lover?

a Chinese philosophy

so old, but helps us see

our house, our garden

a view over the sea

a purge of clutter by the door

will help us live

and not just survive

little things around our space

makes me feel at home

it is really my place!

Bear with me, I'm lost!

 How can I remember what I’m doing,

when life conspires to throw me – adrift?

Stress and worry

blank out my mind

unless and until

I can truly unwind...

caught up like a gladiator

fighting a lion

I forget the way out

unseen but so near

it’s only a game

but I still feel the fear

the button eludes me

till finally I know

it’s not really me that’s running the Show!
