Hold everything lightly
then the letting so
doesn't hurt at all
and is very easy
Reaching out
  Struggling
The Shadow
Camus said he had no hope
Luther said he had no Pope
I sleep late and long
Protection for my boys

Bullet trains in the night
San Francisco's leading light
I just sit in silence
Can you hear the noise?


                  Music!
Tell me, who's most at fault?

Me; for believing you?

You; for doing whatever it took to fill up your loneliness?
I could feel the winter creeping in through the windows
A white hue hung in the air
Fingers of ice ready to embroil me in it's pleasure
Yet I was warm and made of toasty
Yes
These are the good days

My roof was sound as the wind announced its arrival
I smiled a whistle
Singing the only creak to be heard as I opened a full cupboard
I was ready to devour
Yes  
These are the good days

Time does now tick as my age turns to grey
A smile of great memories
Crying sadness of old loss
My role to remember
A job to create such
I look down through the blur
These old hands all now wrinkled
The good days all gone
Pigeon toed  wombats
Determinedly trundle by
Heading  to burrows
we were lucky to see  one large(mother) & two smaller wombats
whilst on an early  bushwalk... they are such soli, determined yet comical creatures .
last night i wrote 'luck is the duck'.
i think i was wrong though;
see, 𝒍𝒖𝒄𝒌 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒅𝒆. it folds up the socks
of the beach and blesses it with a kiss.

we, the duck, ebb and flow on
the waves; eyes glazed and dazed
from kismet riptides. you can't sail
luck, but you can sure as hell surf it.

i'll see ya on the beach.
more on yesterday.
The dark woods they invite me
  amidst it I explore
my love I will meet
it's much too early for sleep
