Zero to Crazy – An Awakening In the stillness of the dawn There is a chance for a new beginning A time to cast away that which no longer works The mangled and exhausted dialogue Repeated endlessly and accepted as gospel A new language to be learned and a fresh way of communicating MyContinue reading “Zero to Crazy – An Awakening”

Peacefulness – Poem of the Month – October 2021
Peacefulness A wading heron stands silently in the water Comfortable with its one-leggedness A whisp of crown plumage Wavering in the cool breeze The gentle sight soothing, calming Allowing the mind to close out noise and soak in the peacefulness of the moment Roused from a reverie by the rustling of dried grasses I haveContinue reading “Peacefulness – Poem of the Month – October 2021”
Medicine For The Soul – A Soliloquy
Medicine For The Soul A wafer-thin moon appears in the late afternoon sky Pale as milk and semi-transparent Mirroring my mood of this day Having fallen by the wayside of everyday life Feeling as fragile as a crumbling cracker being spread with ice cold butter Jarred by the day’s impossible round of bare-knuckle punches Rejected,Continue reading “Medicine For The Soul – A Soliloquy”
Chakra Colors – Poem of the Month – August 2021
Chakra Colors The colors of earth speak to me In tones of vermilion, red ochre and umber My root grounds me I am centered Amber and burnt orange Remind me I am creative and joyful And shades of Goldenrod and citrine Reveal the power within me Verdant forest greens and Semi-precious malachite Tell me IContinue reading “Chakra Colors – Poem of the Month – August 2021”
Once Bitten …
Once Bitten … Cautious and careful My options remain open when it comes to you Requirements have changed You will never again be the only arrow in my quiver Experience has taught me you are dangerous for my heart and I must protect it No more will I slide down the slippery slope of yourContinue reading “Once Bitten …”
Stress

Insight – A Palinode
Part 1 – Misunderstood (Prior Poem) Your eyes no longer hide the truth They have become the lens to your dark soul The bitterness written between the lines of your face Chiseled deep into the crevices where it now resides Dragging the once curve of a smile into a permanent scowl The magnitude of yourContinue reading “Insight – A Palinode”
Go Swiftly – A Quadrille
Go Swiftly Go swiftly that I might mourn sooner Leave me quickly so I will be free from your discontent You belong here no longer I wish you well in your pursuit of perfection My loss is growth already healing wounds carved with your callousness Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton – Poetry forContinue reading “Go Swiftly – A Quadrille”
Clarity
Clarity Here beneath the majesty of tall pines where air is clean and pure is a place to breathe Silence is draped in soft voile on a head filled with noise Soothing and calming Restoring peace In solitude and stillness thoughts run free Recollections dance before eyes as if for the first time The pleasureContinue reading “Clarity”
Catharsis
Catharsis High above the turmoil is where I sit Leaning against stone Cool and comforting Calming the chaos Clamoring in my head The stillness soothing Slowing time Slowing heartbeats Breathing deeply The crisp, clean air sends oxygen back to my brain Below the tempest brews in torrents of anger Its waters boiling with rage ThrashingContinue reading “Catharsis”
