Group Poems: Living the Symbolic Life Sessions

 

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 w
earing 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.
