humble pie
nivek 9h
understanding can come in a flash
a mind illumined by a shooting star-
the realisation you were oh so wrong
yet again munching on humble pie.

while you slept
nivek 10h
while you slept, cradled for the night in this Universe-
your precious breath watched over by Guardian Angels
-dreams of your sleep were gathered together and stored forever.
nivek 11h
freedom is granted
a fight won for you

now belonging to the fighter-
pointing to freedom

lost on the wind
nivek 11h
time is tidal-
carried on a wave

a moments song-
lost on the wind

a moments breath
nivek 11h
oh creature of dust

- a moments breath

gone in an instant;

warm blue
nivek 11h
just a few hundred feet and its all blue-
beautiful blue above all cloud-
warm blue infusing Winters grey.
nivek 1d
who can plumb the depths of the heart?
make sense of suffering?  and more
the suffering inflicted by another's hand?
nivek 2d
killing runs deeper than we all think
or wish to admit
nivek 2d
the power of life and death?
hands to heal?
hands to ****?

the next time you swat something
take a look at your hands.
nivek 2d
they say they are going to clone a Mammoth, bring one back to life,
because we were the reason for its extinction.
We cannot look after the Elephants, what makes us think we will look after the Mammoth a second time around.
nivek 2d
I really came close to not being here at all, several times, in fact, on my Earthly journey around the stars I very nearly gave up the Ghost of me into eternal realms, having experienced near fatal consequences at age four and also aged nineteen.

Earth Age
nivek 2d
Winter has been seemingly longer this past season
or perhaps I have entered a new experience of Winter
that now will play out for who knows how long,
how many long Winters yet to come,
maybe something to do with me reaching the Earth age that I now am, maybe.
nivek 2d
being the clay I dare not ask the potter
what are you making, or complain about my lot
as if I deserved so much better.
nivek 2d
wishing to be gone from here
comes around every now and then
and I am not talking suicide
but am talking the reality of things;
made for something so much more,
consequently wishing to be gone
from this existence, is totally understandable.
nivek 2d
still too cold to enjoy being outside
we Human creatures so fragile
whereas a Sparrow displays fortitude
nivek 2d
having come from literally 'nothing'
the mystery of creation abides within our souls

unknown journeys
nivek 2d
children of the Universe

going round in circles
comes real natural
as nature intended

10w spoken truth
nivek 2d
flowery language spoken by flowers
the true speak of beauty
nivek 2d
wolves in sheep's clothing
all humble pie and
big teeth hidden behind faked smiles
nivek 2d
this World is no place to settle down
no place to fall in love with
its all temporary here, all fleeting

thar she blows
nivek 5d
Killer Whales, Orca, swim past, there,
just at the end of the pier.
Seal hunters, they cruise on past
thar, thar, she blows!!
nivek 5d
Norse, Northern, closer to Norway than London
we here live on the edge of the World.

Our Small Island

having lived through another dark long Winter
our small Island vast Summer is about to burst
a kaleidoscope of light and new life

Archipelago

growing steadily older
surrounded by the waters of a Sea and Ocean
that meet where our archipelago sits
you are never deprived
of sheer simple beauty
in a myriad of forms.

in old bones
nivek 5d
tilting toward the Sun
our Summer ever closer comes;

warmth in old bones
a spring in the steps of lambs.
nivek 5d
befriend the robots in your locale
they mean you no harm...
but may well harbour resentment

co-pilot
nivek 5d
living like clockwork in a digital world
39 years of last centuries baggage hauled around
a history in a different skin, a muddled mind
counting on the abacus chasing the decimal point
now relying on a co-pilot known as personal AI
nivek 6d
stars are only real if you look up
the Moon hides most of the time
we do not dare stare at the Sun
only Earthlings tell big fat lies.

Motherhood
nivek 7d
The Motherhood of God
resides at the very heart of creation
otherwise God would not have created motherhood in His creatures.

brand new
nivek 7d
patchwork fields heavy with lambs kicking up their heels
and the gambolling calves all in a creche watched over by aunts
all new born this spring
all from the wellspring
all from the deeps of mystery
brand new to the skies of the World and of the Universe.

to soar
nivek 7d
a musical score to follow
the song of the poet
a deep well to draw water
wings of the Eagle... to soar

The Lark Rising
nivek 7d
a Lark lives within the breast
and we sometimes call it 'Heart'
it rises each Summer, singing.

forged in fire
nivek 7d
in the deeps and troughs
the nights and the dark-
a trust is forged in fire.
nivek 7d
the Daffs are beginning to make their show
they never tire of blooming each new spring
yellow, a colour for Easter, for resurrection..
yes we Britons spell colour this way
nivek 7d
emersion in silence
bathes the mind
and fills the heart.
nivek 7d
its not to everybody that to write is 'life'
finding a degree of belonging within 'words'
a happy equilibrium when penning verse
or any such writings presenting themselves almost daily.

Small Island Life.
nivek Mar 20
idyll when the Sun is shining
sea flat calm blue-
sister of endless blue skies.
Sounds of bird song-
Gulls returning from the hunt,
Oyster catchers sing out- orange beaked,
Curlews endless calling.
All waiting now Summers unfolding wings;
her bounteous free giving.

in Gods own good time
nivek Mar 20
it is never pleasant to be persecuted
especially by a well practised charlatan-
for their own insecurities.
All one can do is offer it up-
and hope for deliverance in Gods own good time.

to leave you bereft of light and life
