Ruin, Poetry by the Tale Teller Club for the Immersion Project



Ruin

When sleep won't come
the ghosts appear,
they never left
just disappeared
for too short a time.
I remember the old days
when you were mine.
What fun we had,
crazy mad, 
and glad
to be alive.
The goodness died.
The fabulous faded
into jaded memories,
tarnished stories,
errors too loud to quiet 
in the night.
The ghosts walk 
so tall,
so proud,
and we march with them to ruin

New song lyrics for the Book of Immersion Volume 2 by Sarnia de la Mare 'I Saw the Devil'

Image
I am amazed that I managed to write a song this week with all that has been going on. The first chapter of the Book of Immersion Volume 2 will be released today and here are the lyrics for the song. I saw the devil again Stroking the folds of your brain He looked through your eyes with a sigh and said hi, it's me again I'm back in the game I saw love fail today Wretched in it's pain I saw the killer of hope He laughed in my face Said you are a joke I am the killer of love Then he took off his glove And the devil man said You taste so good When you're sad The best I ever had I saw the devil again He sat on your shoulder and said You're looking older And yet  you still haven't learned how to forget All we got left is us We're never getting off this bus Cos you court the devil And I filled his shoes You're yesterday's news But I'm still around Our bond is so sound Now I am the devil in you I am your only friend Let's go round again Fly Like a B...

The Autism Caravan Initiative — A Dream in Motion By Sarnia de la Mare FRSA #autismcaravan

   The Autism Caravan Initiative — A Dream in Motion By Sarnia de la Mare FRSA CONTENTS: Why I’m Launching the Autism Caravan The Vision: A Safe, Sensory Sanctuary on Wheels What the Caravan Will Offer Why It Matters How You Can Support This Initiative Why I’m Launching the Autism Caravan I’ve spent my life surrounded by neurodivergent brilliance — in my students, my friends, my family, and even within myself. Over time, I’ve come to see neurodivergence not as something to “manage,” but as something to celebrate. Autism and ADHD are not deficits; they are  differences  — often gifts wrapped in layers the world is still learning to unwrap. The Autism Caravan Initiative is born from that realisation. It's an idea that came to me while watching overwhelmed children at festivals retreat into themselves with nowhere to go, while carers tried to stay upbeat, managing overstimulation without a break in sight. I thought:  What if there were a mobile oasis — a sensory-ri...
