skipped
Into my vision
You found me amusing
I challenged your very existence
Your right to reality
Well, can you blame me?
I was happy tucked up in abstract philosophy
Am happy with the concept of never, forever and always still
But you told me to doubt my own reality
You used my abstract against me
And should I find myself in existence
I should accept the possibilities
Being offered to me
I guess we should always accept the possibility of being wrong
Or right
Or unsure anymore
Well if you keep talking
I will have to keep listening
Hope
(For Mark)
I wanted to wake up in your arms
But I stole away under the soft moon
I wanted to lay and just hold you while you slept
But I was pulled away too soon
I wanted to listen to you breathing
I wanted to hear you speak
Of dreams yet unfulfilled
Of a life that could be better
Of a world that could be peaceful
Of me, and that I could be happy
If I could
I would
Go back
And kiss you before you kissed me
And although I know it can’t be
It was simple reality that made me
Happy
Unconscious Creativity
There is a divine comedy within creation
That encourages us to let go
Not to take ourselves too seriously
To simply go with the flow
For every time I raise my pen
And battle with the page
I demand my own creativity
Only to find I have nothing to say
But in the wee hours of darkness
When I am too tired to fight
Inspiration sneaks upon me
Fills my eyes with light
Blindly I stumble forth
All physical form left behind
And I see all the methods of
Painting between the lies
I hide a message of remembrance
Within every stroke of fate
To remind myself of divine
When hungry and paint covered, I awake…
Late
I heard my name
When you called me again today
But I am forever the rabbit late
And I merely ran away
It wasn’t until I stopped
And heard no sound upon the breeze
That I realised if I stopped listening
You would stop calling to me
Listening
She smiles at me
And in her eye I see
All the things she would say to me
If she but only had the words
Then again I am aware
Whenever I feel her near
That it is I who needs to hear
The stories I never heard
I raise my eyes
And seek her sight
And bathe within her soft light
To ease my troubled soul
I wax and wane
She does the same
And together we play the game
Of phases to become whole
Beyond Tomorrow
Within the fire we all become
Ancient man mesmerised
The simple tasks tire the hands
The good life, a hard life
There is no more bartering
Haggling, begging and coaxing
We are beyond the desire for more
No more hoping
Within the water we all become
The reason for living and loving
The fetch water carry wood
A philosophy of having
There is no more waterfall
Overspill, cascade of emotion
We are beyond the stagnant
Carried away in tidal motion
Within the earth we all become
A nurtured plant with face
Lifted towards the sun
Moving in place
There is no more receiving
Merely sowing and reaping
We are beyond the taking
Storing and heaping
Within the wind we all become
The cry of voices unleashed and free
The wind removes the wool from our eyes
And finally we can see
There is no more forgiving
No more ifs, buts, I wish, I need
We are beyond the arguments
It simply is, and we simply be
With
With the fire we burn to survive
With water we respect our lives
With earth we learn a new way
With the wind we sing a new day
This Light
I sit within the spotlight
The stage in darkness lies
Preparing to perform
The arts of times gone by
The light washes down
Upon my upturned face
My tools about me shine
Blessed by unearthly grace
Within the shadows I hear
Soft anticipating sighs
Waiting for my hands to move
And open up all eyes
And I feel blessed
Refreshed
And inspired to be
I craft
And bend
And prophesy
I spin
And weave
All manner of life
I bend
And blend
The Craft of the Wise
For this light is the perfect time
The blending of body and
