Stellar Stability – Written September 2023 (Aged 48)

Stellar Stability

i am getting there
not sure,
where there is…
but i know i am heading towards it
with it’s market stalls
and historic gifts
with it’s level access
and many lifts
i am getting there
peeling back the layers –
of an anxiety like lid
a tin of hope,
shaped like an olympic bid
i am getting there
further away,
from the seaports which feel muddled
away from self doubts,
that act like muddy puddles
closer to stellar stability
decorated with your close knit cuddles
i am getting there,
not sure,
where is..
but for now i am happy with my route
if i can just manage my day
and avoid lacklustre suits
if i can keep walking,
with solid state boots
i know, i know it will be fine
my confidence will continue to grow in the sun
upon which,
rich and lush vines will flourish
