Family Tree

She creates her world at night, Her mind becomes a beacon of light, Illuminating the dark corners of her mind. She sees beyond her surroundings, And in the stillness of the night, The universe within her emerges, She scripts these mysteries. He crafts his art in a dimly lit room, His mind flourishes in this ambience. The designs emerge from the shadows, Like a blooming meadow at dawn. He sketches these creations, And then they come to life. I am a child born of the union of the two, Two worlds dwell within me.

While I Journey

Across the daily  bridge I stoop,
to gaze upon the world,
always with the option overhead,
two faces of the same mint,
or just as likely liquid mirror,
in the very widest sense,
but such ad hoc aspects wanting,
further clarity as time unfolds,
ripple of the passing current,
flutter from a proud human voice,
stir in the second musings,
the sort that flit erratically,
with side to side dawn chanson,
Am I lost to early groundswell?
when observing without ruse,
at the recess of each bend,
as I journey through the morn,

Absolutely Irreversible

The Wabi Sabi Museum
Is asking the public
For donations
To help pay for
The new hardwood flooring
With which
All of the old, blotchy-coloured
Cracked cement floor will be covered

Two Thursdays ago
At around five pm
At the selfsame Wabi Sabi Museum
While it was quite busy and bustling
I overheard a woman say to a man:
“Most of the artwork here is walking around”

The man seemed to think for a few moments
And then typed something on his phone

Post Midnight Theatre (Dramatic Monologue)

The streets are that audience  I dwell on,
after midnight and later pursuit of intrigue,
with pen waving in the air so frantically,
as a wand attracting dream flights,
this magnet for dark undercurrent of imps,
I address them and other other worlds,
using the power of mind so focussed,
my thoughts leapt into the unknown,
without backtrack or retrace but I plod on,
my moonlit lips are sealed yet they emit,
shiny coal nugget whispers at random,
caramelised squeak nocturnal ‘s wry nod,
from the invisible and  inveigled  throng clattering,

The Lamp of Dusk

When daylight folds its weary wings,
And shadows climb the silent trees,
The earth remembers ancient things
And sighs them to the evening breeze.

The river glows with fading fire,
Its mirrored sky a waning flame;
The crickets sing their one desire,
And call the stars by secret name.

O heart, be still beneath this dome
The night has come to set you free;
For every path that led you home
Was lit by dreams you could not see.

The First Downpour

The first downpour is very lovely.
The first downpour is also very important.
This beautiful scene comes only once a year.
The first rain makes everyone happy.
It gently touches the hearts of all people.

The first downpour falls on the tops of trees.
It comes before any other rain.
The last rain is not as special as the first.
The first downpour is loved by everyone.

The first downpour brings happiness to all.
It removes all our sadness and worries.
It shines brightly on the earth,
So everyone can enjoy its beautiful sight.

Climate Change

The world is changing, a fiery breath, Seasons are shifting, flirting with death. Glaciers are weeping, oceans expand, A warming planet, a shifting sand. The storms are raging, the floods arise, As nature is screaming beneath the skies. We see the damage, the rising heat, A future uncertain, a bitter defeat. But hope remains, a flickering spark, To heal the planet, to leave our mark. With every action, a chance to mend, To save our Earth, until the end.
