By the time I managed to get out for some fresh air yesterday it was cold and dark and my body just wanted to curl up like a hedgehog and hibernate instead! As is always the case though, the stroll woke me up and got the creative juices flowing so it was a good decision all round!
Night Strolling
The clouds of frozen winter breath hang in the barren lane
The darkness makes my thinking less, my hands type on in vain
White Christmas lights dress up the night and I pass by enraptured
The nuances of advent life deserve to be well captured
Beneath street lamp, my heart re-vamps today’s emerging musings
It takes so little to excite when energy is choosing
I wander home to get some rest and settle In again
Whilst all my daily cares depart into dark winter lanes
I am a Creative Life & Leadership Coach, Creative Workshop Facilitator, Podcaster and Poetess. I am absolutely passionate about my work and love helping women to heal anxiety and to connect to their Creative Fire and to fully experience and express their uniquely feminine power. If you would like to experience the transformative experience of being coached by me email me, samallencoachingcreatively@gmail.com for a free, no-obligations demo session.
I began writing poetry on a daily basis when I lost my Father back in 2015 and I haven't stopped since. Writing in nature is as much a part of me as brushing my teeth and I am so very grateful for this outlet in my life.
Aside from all things poetic, I am a jogger, a hiker, a creative mover and I also co-lead an online Untaming Femininity Tribe for women wishing to explore their femininity on their own terms. View all posts by Sam Allen Creative Coach
