Let me float as our lives
break the mould of plastic lies,
and brought me back to
open fires.

A glimpse of life,
the star scattered night,
laid flat out right in nature’s shrine.

What is this strife without
the fight? But in nature
we will confide.

Between the leaves of
ancient trees; distant
worlds with no concrete.

**** the life of roadside
dreams. Let’s sing for
worlds of hope and peace.
Between the busyness of western life, there are fields full of life yet to be explored.

Talk of Spring
Rupert Pip Mar 8
It wasn’t just the leaves that died over winter
A part of me fell to the earth too
My hair has started tying knots
My car is choking rocks
Falling away, decay.

The whole world upside down
perished, frozen winter ground
LED sunlights,
early nights
Falling away, decay

But God gave us Spring
and all good things showed their face
With gentle serendipity
and a tranquil sensibility
It’ll all just be okay.  

Leaves come back to arm their stations
flowers grow in all locations
Sunlight blessed the freezing minds
The beautiful life where preside
It’ll all just be okay.
It’ll all just be okay.

flutter
Rupert Pip Mar 13
\ I flutter back /  
      \ from time to time /  
     \ to loud hearts and /  
  \ gentle minds; to cityscapes /  
   \ in golden light, to neon bars /  
   | and street fights; to country |  
   | lanes and drunken drives with |  
    / good old friends and future \  
  / wives; to summer nights with  \  
/ campfire jives, to ***** shots  \  
/ and sunken pints; I flutter back  \  
      / and stay a while, \  
      / with no regrets \  
        / and only \  
          / smiles \

— The End —
