Time for peace
j a connor Jul 2023
Visiting the beach on a school day in spring
Watching the waves and the birds on the wing
It's just me all alone no one around
This particular place can be described in a sound

Awe................... haw.................hmmm

Reinvention or
Rewriting
The script
Changes
With the times
Perhaps
Too many times
The realisation of who we are and what it's all about
Distorts

Love
Peace
Acceptance
Tolerance


The be all
To be all

Daydream
j a connor Jun 2021
Imagine a tropical paradise
Think hard now
Don't that look nice
Sky is blue
Palm trees sway
Ocean clear
Sunshine all day
Come with me
I'll take you there
Forget your troubles
Forget your cares
Sail away on the distant breeze
Clear your mind
Do as you please
Lyrics from Drift Away by j.a.connor
It's good to dream

What The New Day Brings

And through the darkness I see
Light
It's there
I reflect in hope

It's growing with the day
I see it
Through the cloud

Death Is Irrelevant
j a connor Apr 2021
Rest in pieces
For we cannot be destroyed
We are the dust of the universe
Never fully swept away
Our spirits rising into the vastness of space
Searching for the next adventure
Seeking a new vessel of travel
Relativity non existent
A heartbeat in fate

How Deep
j a connor Nov 2023
My thoughts are a lost ocean
Seeking passage through winding canyons
Leading back to the source
The source of creation as perceived by the regimented structure of modern life ?
Modern life that views man's achievements as a eureka moment
A life that requires an explanation for all occurrences
I must climb deeper to the peak of this inverted mountain
To a time of wonder
No boundaries
Unprogrammed
It is almost within reach
In this depth lies the truth
121 · Oct 2022
We are the same difference
j a connor Oct 2022
life is unique for everyone
let's not interfere because it makes us feel right
respect our fellows before trying to change and rearrange complexities that we will probably never fully understand

in my minds eye
j a connor Mar 2024
before the light disappears I stare into the sky
clouds have taken on a tinge of colour
horizon beckons my thoughts
somewhere out there is my daydream place
where the past mingles with now
such a feeling of calm
I wish I could stay

Welcome The Cobbler
j a connor Feb 2021
We are a lot like our shoes
Some left, some right
Some soles worn
Some just tarnished
Some tied
Some free
All different colours and shapes
Polished and rough
Tongues hang out
Waiting for someone to walk us forward
Together

What will it take ???
j a connor Jul 2023
Lost is the mood that drives me today
Wherever I go it follows my way
This society depresses
Why am I so bad
Crisis in the world directs me to sad
Emotional blackmail for a world that is broke
Business ain't bad but I still can't be woke

Where are the elected in this generation of need
Happy for votes to sow their seed
No progress is made to end conflict and hate
Economics prevail despite all that is said

To end like this
Is not too smart
But I feel we are lost
Unless we start
Standing for truth
Not succumbing to fear
Challenging not accepting
Or
Living
Does
Not
Exist
Here

Jagged Truth
j a connor Oct 2020
Life is not meant
To smell like roses

But
The thorns are real
116 · Feb 2024
So be it
j a connor Feb 2024
So
Standing in the middle of a deserted
Walkway
I
Hear
No sound
Unusual in a big city
To hear
No sound
The urban crane lies quiet
As does
The crawling Caterpillars
Regeneration is the term
For communal execution
But change is dictated
So change must replace
Amen
