Occasionally I write poetry, because sometimes photos don’t (or can’t) tell my story. today is one of those days. I paint you the pictures and let your imagination fill in the details.
Golden autumn colours
Lakeside paddling feet
Mountains on all sides
Keeping out the heat.
Glimpses into houses,
high up on the hills
People walking dogs
Fingers feeling chills.
Cold water on my face
A steep shelf down below
Swimmers in the distance
I begin to find my flow.
Sudden jagged rocks
Interrupt the view
Above, below, shallow shores
Whoops, I thought I knew!
Rounding headland ends,
I see a glimpse of shore
I know I’m nearly there now
Just a wee bit more.
‘A true legend’ – label
Is one that I am given
I’m just busting limits
So, best sit up and listen.
ANYTHING Is possible
It’s all inside your mind.
Set goals, go get em kiddo!
Ambition is not blind!
[Poem by Melanie Ryding]
