If you are someone who thinks about the Easter story, you might find the haiku that @emmuk74.bsky.social, @curiouswilds.bsky.social and I put together a couple of years back

I rested the moon on my shoulders
Soft silver light reflecting
Through twilight's breath
As spring warmth developed
I reached deep into the Earth
Growing alongside shoots of new life

Do you ever feel like you aren't enough
Whilst also being far too much
That you take up too much space
Yet are barely noticed
As if you aren't designed effectively
Were made mistakenly
Live incorrectly
Can't find your niche
Your place
Your space
In a world of perfection
Whilst also being far too much
That you take up too much space
Yet are barely noticed
As if you aren't designed effectively
Were made mistakenly
Live incorrectly
Can't find your niche
Your place
Your space
In a world of perfection

January whispers....
"No new beginnings for us"
No need to adjust
Or make a fuss
This journey is forever circular
Spectacular
Yet familiar
We leave time with our stories
In memories
Or lullabies
As the silver moon captures our melodies
As remedies
In reveries
"No new beginnings for us"
No need to adjust
Or make a fuss
This journey is forever circular
Spectacular
Yet familiar
We leave time with our stories
In memories

Light in the dark days
Friendships shared in honesty
There is a prayer
There is a prayer
Longing to be heaven sent
Lodged beneath my tongue
Lodged beneath my tongue
Thankfulness far beyond words

In the quiet dawn of the new year’s light
Hope unfurls on petals bathed in dew
Happiness whispers a morning embrace
Promising rest and troubles few
May this year bring gifts old and new
Acceptance shaping our hope into view

Flashlights in monsoons calm dread
We will recover
We will recover
Slowly, carefully, in time
Stars shining brighter

Inwardly and outwardly

I want to be invited
It makes me feel that you care
But I probably won't come along
Because it's too exhausting out there
Who else longs to be invited but will be unlikely to make it to the thing?
