What Keeps My Heart Awake

 By Maryanna Gabriel 


When the world feels kind of crazy, there is always poetry. Below is a photo taken from a garden on my one of my favourite walks. 

The Mountain


If the mountain seems too big today
Then climb a hill instead.
If morning brings you sadness
It’s okay to stay in bed…

…A day is not a lifetime
A rest is not defeat
Don’t think of it as failure
Just a quiet kind retreat

It's okay to take a moment
From an anxious fractured mind
The world will not stop turning
While  you get realigned.

The mountain will still be there
When you want to try again.
You can climb it on your own time
Just love yourself 'til then.
