Gyroscopic
Please
Bring me back to the centre
I so easily
Spin out to the edges
Where everything blurs
And my world is turned
Under and over
Keep me fixed but free
Floating in the sea
As it churns and turns
Let me remain
Upright and calm
Bouncing back and
Rebalancing
Gyroscopic in my movement
Speed but stillness
Soothe my weakness

Thoughts
It’s very easy to get overwhelmed. The stress of daily life can build without us realising.
This patio was grim but it didn’t get that way over night. It took a year of being battered by the weather. Only when I started to clean it did I see how dirty it had become. If you feel this way, metaphorically jet wash yourself in the face. It might make all the difference.
