Places
and faces
have gone..
tears shed
have left no trace;
no sign..
time
bled away..
it led us
onwards..
moving on.

Moving On
Home Within
A refuge..
where tensions dissolve
truth is spoken
and conflict
resolves..
where wounds heal
harmony returns
and the soul
reveals..
hearth and heart
are akin..
I’m home
within.

Waiting
We weep alone
in silence
with the healing
wounds
of existence
waiting..
for life’s
symmetry
and innocence
to return..
to see the essence…
be the light.

Charade
Oh… the charade
of humanity;
the treachery
hubris
all that is..
can we feel
are we alive..
will our hearts break
enough
to survive.

Something Beautiful
A shaft of light;
the flash
of belief..
forgiving insight;
a falling
leaf..
benevolent toil;
the butterfly’s
wing..
a merciful smile;
all fragile
things.

Solace
Light
fades;
hidden
from view..
this world’s
parade
of pain
keeps passing
through..
can
we find
some lasting
solace
here..
and start
anew.

Perfect Moment
A seed
awaits
the perfect moment
to emerge..
anticipating
nothing
knowing nothing
not even
that it’s waiting.

The Circle
And so
it seems
some dreams must fall
whilst others call
from beyond
time..
like a circle
connecting..
a miracle
reclaimed.

A Pebble
So here I am..
my ragged edges
made smooth; softened
by life’s jagged touch
like a pebble plunged
through the rocky flow..
knowing nothing
for sure
though the water
is pure.
