Pummelled
by our own resistance
the turbulence
of change
can leave us
bruised..
let go
let go
let go
let all things happen
and then..
gently flow.

And Then
Nothing to Say
I’ve nothing to say;
a hollow voice
meaningless noise
banal and absurd
words words..
Listen to the silence
quietly confess;
within this emptiness
can a child’s eye view
be renewed.

Centrifuge
I’ve tumbled through
my centrifuge again..
you know the one..
that separates
good from bad;
bad from good..
if only I could
remember
the code
to unload..
the debris..

Unfold Yourself
The enslavement
of spirit
and thought
is bought
and sold..
by old schemes
with new
themes..
unfold
yourself
think
for yourself..
be yourself.

Returning
I played
in shadows
here..
the door
that opened
closed
behind
me..
I have no need
to find
that key.

Whisper
We’re tethered
together here
yet alone, set apart..
I can hear
each heart
whisper..
I’m reaching out
reaching out
touch my soul.

Why
I don’t know
why..
birds migrate
and rivers run
dry..
why fate unfolds
like a story
told..
of rising high;
falling
low
rising high..
I don’t know
why.

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