where there is light
darkness cannot prevail
when there is resolve
the mind can find peace
when one feels remorse
the healing process can begin
If one pursues wealth
their heart will become poor
reaching back to the past
makes us it’s prisoner
relying on technology
makes slaves of us all
what was forgotten
has been consumed by chaos
weilding terror fuelled by flame
their battle cry galvanized
darkness shall prevail
the horror awaits
those who live in fear
of their foreshadowing
Sunlight shines down
brightening the day
casting shadows
across the way
And though these illusions
seem to say
what remains
is here to stay
Objects are placed
to occupy a space
in one case
they replace
Rain falls,
pitter patter on the roof.
Birds flee from the droplets
from under the trees.
The ground is sodden
as the grass becomes greener,
passing clouds wield thunder;
dreams are hidden
in a cloud of memories.
In the garden pristine
to wonder, to dream.
With expectations high;
they take off and fly,
returning once again
to where they remain.
the nest was bare
they were no longer there
where had they gone
shed a tear for them
that is nature’s way
of saying goodbye
as the rain falls silently
blackbirds begin to nest
the spring brings love
with young to cater for
the birds sing throughout the day
call of the hoopoe
singing away
through diverse weather
he shall stay
in the spring
she will have eggs to lay
in my garden blissfully
together peacefully
can we dream
of something unreal
and in that reality
make our dreams come true
from the deepest oceans
to the highest mountains
may we be one
with nature’s dream
standing on the shore
I see a statue
of a man I once new
as the tide rises
the sun sets
he disappears
to return once again
