Learning to Fly – A poem

Posted on June 24, 2019June 24, 2019 by nadinewren

I have all this life I can’t contain

Every thought and feeling fall like rain

It overflows, slipping through my fingers

As they land, the sensation lingers

I can’t hold them; even though they’re my own

I’m surrounded, but I feel so alone

The sands of time erase all in the end

But my will to live will never bend!

There’s only so much I will see and do

But I won’t stick to the tried and true

I’ve never been one to follow the herd

So, I’ll grow some wings and fly like a bird!

When I learn to fly, I’ll see so much more

I’ll fly over every mountain and every shore

I may not be able to hold onto everything

So I must let go and spread my wings!

Libra – A Poem

Posted on June 22, 2019 by nadinewren

A cautious soul who weighs the pros and cons

Libra, you have a keen sense of right and wrong

Lover of diplomacy, grace and all things harmonic

You have little time for the crass and sardonic

Ruled by Venus, the Goddess of Love

You treat romance as a gift from above

It’s easy to be swept up in love’s embrace

But don’t let your own dreams go to waste

Charming and sociable, you make people smile

You find great friends to be worth your while

As the Scales slide, the leaves start falling

Bursts of colour send your soul soaring!

Written by Miss Wren

Flash – A Poem

Posted on June 21, 2019 by nadinewren

A lightning strike tore me asunder

A glimpse of nature’s violence

The calm pierced by a jagged light

It only lasted a moment

But the breath caught in my lungs

As if I thought it struck me

But no, it struck my favourite tree

The ancient oak sparked into flame

In one moment, things could never be the same

I stared in disbelief as the flames bloomed

Like a savage plant that winds its glowing tendrils

Around the host that sustains it, the tree chokes

I see my past go up in flames

The girl that once sat under it, disappearing in the smoke

She was me, and now she is no more.

Virgo

Posted on June 5, 2019 by nadinewren

You like the little things that most people ignore

You like organising your life and your mind

You do life with zest even when it’s a chore

Ruled by Mercury, you’re hard-working and kind

You have a lot of great qualities on your side,

Yet you worry about yourself and others

Concern is good, but take it in your stride

Don’t let your anxiety put you in the gutters

Virgo, you are a careful and diligent soul

And you have a tender and loving heart

You’re the one who keep things under control

Even when the world around you is falling apart

Written by Miss Wren

Leo

Posted on June 4, 2019 by nadinewren

Ruled by the Sun, your light touches all

Your optimism turns doubters to your side

Like the mighty lion of the savannah

You like to keep a close eye on your pride!

Your friends and family are everything to you

Your love and generosity keep them close

Don’t let your ego overshadow them

As they might not be there when you hit your lows

Leo, you are the sign that’s larger than life

And you are as radiant as the summer sun

Your shining charisma brings life to the party

You’re dazzling, confident and full of fun!

Nightfall

Posted on June 3, 2019 by nadinewren

The colours fall to the horizon

Intense shades of red, orange and purple

A mystic fire has drawn along the sky

The birds go to roost, and the people sigh

A hard day’s work is done,

Gone is the sun

A deep blue bleeds into the sky

The mystic fire smoulders,

Until the light is no more.

The world is rooted in comfort and solitude

Yet a weariness lingers in the dark

The urge to be curled up inside

Overtakes the urge to explore the world beyond one’s home

It is time to rest, nightfall has come.

Cancer the Crab – A Poem

Posted on June 2, 2019 by nadinewren

Ruled by the Moon, the lady of the night

Mystery binds you to the pale moonlight

You may wear your heart on your sleeve

But there’s more to you than you would have us believe

It’s not easy to get to know you

But that doesn’t mean that it’s not worth trying

If the friend you’re after is loyal and true

Then the love you return is undying

Cancer, you’re the epitome of compassion

You’re quick to help those in need

The love you share with others is unending

And your imagination is deep indeed.

Written by Miss Wren

Gemini

Posted on May 31, 2019 by nadinewren

Light, dazzling and full of fun

You’re the one dancing when everyone’s done!

Your childlike zeal is a feat to behold

Even when you’re grey and old.

But Gemini’s spirit is forever young

Your mind is bright like the morning sun

Witty, sharp and a keen learner too

An eternal student, intrigued by anything new!

You’re a keen observer of the human condition

Making connections with others is a noble mission

Mercury has bestowed you with a curious mind

You’re sociable, astute, funny and kind

Written by Miss Wren

Taurus – A Poem

Posted on May 22, 2019 by nadinewren

Taurus, you maybe sign number two

But that doesn’t mean you’re second best

Your will is strong, and your aim is true

You stand tall when you’re put to the test

No one can deny you’re tough as hell,

And you’ve got steadfast down to an art

But there’s a softie under the shell

Gentle Venus resides in your heart

Oh, Taurus, full of passion and grace!

Your soul shines brightly for all to see

You don’t care if you’re winning the race

Because you’ll get there eventually.

Written by Miss Wren

Aries – A Poem

Posted on May 21, 2019 by nadinewren

You blaze a trail across the stars

You have the fighting spirit of Mars

You’re passionate and have a zest for life

You see light where others see strife

Oh Aries! What a delight you are!

You are a fearless superstar!

You’re loyal and honest as the day is long

You protect the weak and challenge the strong

First across the line, the herald of spring

The trees blossom and the birds sing

You charge headfirst into the year

As we watch you run without fear!

Written by Miss Wren
