My Easter meaning

I look forward to Easter. I enjoy it as part of my life. For all sorts of reasons, it means new beginnings in the darkest places of my airy fairy mind.  I do the Lent thing, restrictions in my diet that actually mean much more than that. To me it means that I am trying to make improvements in myself. A time to stop habits forming, stopping changes that are the start of a downward spiral in my way of life. Trying my hardest, to maintain my own standards set within childhood. I have enjoyed our Easter break, a couple of days off work but not from my training since this is not just a health issue to me but also a form of life discipline.

Spiral staircase 

In the depths of my mind there has long been

A huge never ending spiral stair case

Still fighting my way up to a healthy scene

It’s getting harder to keep my place 

It is starting to feel like an escalator

Travelling relentlessly against the tide

I’ll soon be in need of a respirator

Every floor I have stopped and sighed 

So far though I am still climbing high

And not going with the downwards flow

If I stop struggling I’ll find out why

It’s dangerous to let life’s pace go slow
