one moments breath
borrowed from the wind

heart felt, blood bourne
invigorating new thoughts

the universe of minds
shared synapse, shared songs

small air sound collisions
each word a shared energy

a voice on the wind
a wave of the sea

a child growing
getting old

each and every
energy transforms

a voice sounding out
a voice set free.'

fine art of listening to silence
valued by the many
in their unknown solitude.

lips can be zipped
a thousand ways
ears come into their own
seemingly hearing
for the very first time.

a different skin from yesterday
a new disguised skeleton
those bones of mine, hidden
for the duration,
my skull peeks through now and then-
each time I smile.

story within stories
a song on your lips
drumbeat and harp.

starlight and moonshine
blue orb
red planet

God is a painter
as well as poet.

times of silence
seeming inaction

on the cusp of love
riding the wave

a comfortable acceptance
way of poetry.

reinvigourated
fully charged
bolt of lightning
thunder clap
soft shower of rain.

what a boon solitude
- silent way of nature
Holy Spirit breaking through.

a deeper love
unfathomable
knocks each day

'your name written in Heaven
a mystery within the pain'.

forging into Spring
but Winters reach is long-
snow can fall in April
a last gasp of cold.

winding roads
switchbacks

dark tunnels
seemingly lost

a long straight
highway of love.

beyond all telling
weaver within the weave

poetry a language
a myriad of sounds

a world beyond the surface
mystery of love.

purpose?
to love

How?
listen to the Master.

seed sown in the propigator
red and green peppers
soon windowsills will be blooming-
new green little creatures called -
plants.

Jesus may one day walk across the sea
and I will see Him from my perch on my settee
looking out my window as I do everyday
being healed by the wonderment of natures display.

Poetry is a river of blood
pumped heartshaped love
put into sounds of words.

the freewheeling free will
a faithful constant journey
bestowed and respected by love.

God is love
therefore
God is a poet
also
And we
are made in Gods image.

seed comes in many guises
scattered on the winds
generous handfulls
the poets and their songs.

Holy Breath
Holy Word
Holy Spirit

eyes, ears, hearts
touched by love.

choosing your cross would lead to madness
that is why it is chosen for you
every step along the Via Doloroso.

to give thanks
for everything

especially the trials
to test your faith

counter intuitive
the cross always waits.

a fixed rhythm
dancing feet

The wedding at Cana
thirsty guests

a first recorded
miracle

the wine overflowed
very best last

A Mothers ask-
A Son's reply.

time counted in heartbeats
love the cradle of eternity
one blink to see you home.

willingly chained to love
a mere creatures strength
reinforced with forged iron.

love is the current
as love is the river
and love the quenching
of all creations thirst.

some have mercy on insects
knowing they are also having mercy on themselves.

not tilted fully toward the Sun
here atop the World-
cold fresh on the skin
the unending Universe
strokes deep as bone.

the magic road
paved with words

a birds song
a poets world

one more song
one more sojourn.

after secretly womb knitted
the time of arrival

space opened out
room made ready

bringing womb experiences
sounds of another world

indelibe laid down in the mind
secret songs silently remembered.

looking through the window
to travel to a place of peace
nature knows me
loves my being
cradles my soul
never judges
accepts my all

one word to lead
one word to set free
one word to unlock
one word is all I need.

managable numbers
clocks keep on ticking

heartbeats count down
each beat gone forever

a few handfuls of ten
two feet ten more.

a freedom road
a shared meal
a rest a snooze.

others ways
others doings
others task
others choice
others thoughts

absolutely has nothing to do with me

if it can be of some help
first you have to let go
and in letting go
though never seen
you have fulfilled
the possibility

all the stars look on
each night to gaze-
a unique world
spinning dreams.

some want lipstick kisses
red on lips kissed
or could be black
or purple
a lifetime of makeup
a clowns smile.

on the road, suffering
but not in vain

to move onward
acceptance of the cross

this is no utopia
utopia is a mirage

small comforts
a drink of water

empathy
a truth shared.

all are one
one is all

a journey back to unison
unison already won.

answers can be hard to mine
and that mine can be decades in the digging

star formation in sounds of yesterday
pulsars and gravity voices
star struck lovers on a journey
exploded atoms human hearts in love
creatures crawling from under oppression
false prophets wielding nuclear threats
this is a 21st century of large fuckups
and yes you will play your part.

it is easy to love a puppy
easy to love any small fluffy creature
not so easy to love an invisible God

Help me Daddy
why have you forsaken me?

Our Daddy shared with Jesu
why have you forsaken me?

one man hides his baldhead with a natty comb over
its how he also deals with the rest of humankind

you imagine that you have seen crazy as crazy can be
but give the human race one more minuite
and you will be disabused by your imagination

keeping the waggling serpent
firmly caged behind a fortress of enamel.

wedded to disintigration
these bone fingers clothed in cosmic dust
write down a language doomed to silence.
