Living the Symbolic Life with Poetry and
Jungian Psychology
Group Poems
Workshop 10th April 2021
When you are blinded by the sun
peeping through the budded branches
Aching but trusting
Because I am not alone and that’s
the point
Go softly in the world with padded
feet
We’ll stand together and in this
moment nothing else will matter
My third leg
Powerful yet vulnerable you saunter
through the jungle
A timeless house that bind people
together and forms valuable connections
I see a shimmering image bringing
wisdom and love
So bright, so fresh, so cocky.
Workshop 11th April 2021
An elephant never forgets
Allow me to be me; allow yourself to be you
and we are one soul
I write with hands that once held you in their infancy
I'm wearing my father's ring, his father wore it too
Meditating on its pitted stone, the crust of its mane
It sits in
the quiet of the tree
She is light of foot, protecting her young
Remember the spiritual curl of the tail
Stand your
ground
Cupped my hands around you
Keeping
in touch with your instincts.
