say what you will
whenever you want
however you want

but heading toward silence
should give
pause for thought

blame games in our DNA
Adam blamed Eve
Eve blamed the serpent...

do you **** up to the bully
to put off the inevitable?

mocked is par for the course
persecution guaranteed
scapegoat written large

from searching in the dark
to having the light of life
together, you journey onward

unfolding understanding with each new moment
can shock, set free, unite ,untie, scare, propel,
deepen trust, unlock love, bestow peaceful acceptance,
add to dreams, open locked doors, unfold new paths...

Love is the ultimate
-we all fall short

that is why we have each other
to help us back to our feet

the advantage of height
zooming out into space

The Earth a lonely blue
just beneath your feet.

tying a knot for remembering
forget me nots for lovers
when war looms to tear us all apart.

a smile can beguile
soft spoken words enchant

charlatans know this
deploying them often

screaming and shouting
when thwarted

a childish reaction
too ingrained to change.

to be relevant on a staged world
your voice is your own

-influenced of course
by what is in your mind-

a world of Sister and Brother?
of Union?

'The meek shall inherit the Earth'
Now who said that?

when mere mortals are held up to fawn over
- as if they have the answer to all your problems
which seems to be true in the very act of worship
but of course the reality will soon hit home.

ships without rudders
keep on going around
and around, around...

everyone believes in something
and when folk stop believing in God
they do not believe in nothing
no, they believe in anything.

to engage is to live
to live is to play your part
and no-one can take it from you.

one mans big grin-
who speaks gobbledygook-

who will slowly be waking up to reality
after pulling off the heist of recorded history

will surely be regretting what he wished for
when events overtake his agenda.

expect the unexpected
and WOW did it happen-

things are in flux-
and folk drop dead all the time

expect the unexpected-
some good always comes out of everything.

I slept on the cusp of forever-
dreaming strange happenings

An Angel whispered in my ear
'Be at peace child'

Soon the Sun came up-
light of day playing across my sleep

I awoke to singing-
The birds in the garden cavorting

Time again started to weave-
the strange dreams I would dream.

holdups are a time for extra trust-
the Universe has your back, always

some days are seemingly for twiddling thumbs
others for fingers to dance the keyboard
still more for gently caressing the Universe.

guided, cajoled, no other choice
a unique road, undertaken

personal relationship with Universal themes
in relation always with the whole

a fragile life in a fragile world
making the most of a way home.

swift the days
long the nights

a Winters wealth
star struck skies

a hibernation
cabin fever

a calm acceptance
a candle flame

meditation
enclosed in black.

journeying through sleep time
the body restful
the mind travelling on

a path through strangeness
uncomfortably familiar faces

those left behind in the body
indelible scarring across the memory.

raw is skin deep and deeper still the remedy
-minds can be bitter
grey matter scars scourge the present moment
-a thief of happiness and freedom
this journey short lived flesh relationship
-our souls grieve each others pain
we surely must try, fragile our shared reality,
to be Brother and Sister in Eden
the garden before we ate the fruit
and the Serpent stole our innocence.

a midnight stop around the Sun
-Burgers and Milkshakes

we bow down to distraction
some kind of appetite

nothing lasts for very long
except the hunger to live.

diluted inspiration
the capture of the ineffable

somewhere in between
the betwixt

a poem of sorts
is born.

the winding of the river
carving the least resistant route

small inklings
major confirmations

water at the oasis
footsteps into the distance

a map of mountains
a rugged determination

the company of Angels
a reward of solitude.

finding a rich seam
the road travelled

experiences laid down
mixed with the moment

something appears
from the invisible

a star chart
to eternity.

rooting the mind for treasure
its there somewhere

a wish to do some good
I disappear into

a maker of happenings
a small influence

seed sower and reaper
until times end.

All in, both feet,
I rise from the dead,
glug down some bean derived drink
revived fully and ready to rock n roll
I begin....

the Moon a ship-
gently rides the sea

on the horizon dreams form
allotted their time

black is the colour
as the door opens

a distant star fire
defies the sky.

a song sung in solitude
a way of being in a world of denial

takes more than can be imagined
by those immersed in noise

its a path taken by the few
taken in full knowledge of the pain

the pain and the reward
being misunderstood

solitude is a prayer
and prayer is all we have.

one finger pointing, for condemnation
one kissed cheek, for betrayal
one word, to demonise
one shared death, before paradise

wrapped up in love
a story of Mankind

joined battle with the darkside
'love stronger than death'.

song rides the air
set free

songs never die
they incarnate

mutated on lips
regurgitated

entwined till the end
with all voices.

a girl dancing
whirling the air

almost flying
a voice on the wind

a distant pathway
mountains come and gone

rivers in the desert
erosion into sand

shade of a tree
the providence of Birds.

the ancient voice of the drum
the crackling of fire

the chanting of the hunt
- a retelling in song

the song-maker
breathes the wind

patters the rain
silently falls the snow

turns a star into a Sun
caressing all skin

drums hail on windows
muffles all voices in mist and fog.

downwind of world events
a small hand to help along
prayer to banish hate from hearts
(your own especially of course)
is oftentimes all you have got.

there is a truth along all paths
a piecing together of life

a jigsaw is slowly solved
a knowing deep within all spheres

setting out once again
a new perspective takes shape

the union of simplicity
a way to be, a way of love.

we, as children, rode the skies,
played with freedom under our wings,
could feel the kinship with earth,
knew love flew with Birds,
the world would have us denied
the world of men, warring with hate
but nothing can rob us
our childhood is lived still
we children of Jesus and the Universe.

many would have you believe
strong arm tactics including war

are the answer to life
well lived

love everlasting seems out of reach
a made up state of 'being'

yet love is yet to be conquered
yet to be totally banished

and love will be at all ends
love will vanquish everything.

all is forgiven
-fuel of forever

freedom
set free

gates of paradise
forever flung wide with love.

deep as the unknown Universe
mind the deepest well on Earth

a love stronger than iron
heart beats in union

forever waits with arms wide
joyful faces to welcome you home.

channelled through the eye of love
stripped of delusion

challenged to see the truth
unfolding loves solicitude

movements of your mind
-where thoughts are revealing

face to face with facts
-and the facts are kind.

where love resides
love will gaze
forever upon you

with a heart in awe
I kneel at the feet
of woman called Eve.
