SNair
Restlessness
Ruffles of green and tulips and mauve
Chatters
Whispers of giggles and clinks
A forest of emotions

Tuxedos and gowns
And petunias

Wine and whiskey
And half eaten slices

Embossing art
Rivers of compromise,
canyons of denial
flooding uncertainty
—mile by mile

(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)
Run my child, please run
turn your back upon the sun
let the wind carry you home
where angels sing
and peace is known
dare to dream as dreamers do
face the old and embrace the new
for you will rise and crash like waves
because your heart knows not what it craves
be it love or be it lust
soon this world will turn to dust.
Alert to my senses and building up my defences
intending to hold this fort for today.

Monday has that look about it
that says,
whatya gonna do about it.

are you even awake?
Celebration of what used to be,
what might have been,
what never was
—the past

(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)
When the spirit listens
—the heart forgives

(1st Book Of Prayers: December, 2011)
