Poems
May 2019
Spring Rain
The rain falls
Washing away illusions
Old "truths" shown to be flawed
Old "safeties" hiding a threat
Gone, the hidden threats of yesterday
The rain falls
Watering the foundations
For a new truth blooms
And new safeties shown
With the false securities gone
The sun shines
Burning away the lies
For they grow brittle
When shone under light of truth
Shattering at the slightest touch
The sun shines
Feeding the truth
The tulip-blossoms grow
More real as more time passes
Whilst under the revealing sun
A helicopter seed
Seemingly lifeless
Falls to the ground
Just to lie there
Abandoned without its twin
A helicopter seed
So full of life
Falls to the fertile soil
Waiting for the rain
To grow a maple strong
The old world
Shown to be flawed
Calcifies and shatters
Dissolves and washes away
Until only the true remains
The new world
A world progressing
Sends roots into the remains
Seeking out that dissolved truth
Letting a new world flourish
