Here We Are

the options are there

nailed into a white wall

a spherical rainbow formation

labels printed with minuscule font

beckoning you lean in

inhale rain infused ink

petrichor rising

its vapour envelopes you

alters your sense

fate turns out the light

taps the switch

the loop begins at low volume

your voice in three part harmony

last phrase offered

exemplifies rhythms of your wisdom

you drink the sound of your own voice

but is this song the one

you want for your infinity ride

listen listen

behind yours is another’s voice

another’s recent call

voices pulse within your complex walls

the options are there

your inspiration, your raison d’être

waits for you somewhere

among the cacophony spins

rising repeating again and again

with neither pause nor resolve

between jubilation and despair

rehearsing its opening night

warming its hands

at the centre of your sun~

What Does A Poet Know?

not a thing for sure

but a Poet knows how to

hear the pulse of

keep and

never reveal your secret🪶

Purposeful Purposeless

Go to the beach. Go to the part where nobody lingers. The heron is watching. Seagulls survey. There’s the smell of saltwater. Seaweed tangled among stones. Fragments of shells. Half crabs. Splinters of sunwashed bone. Hear the song of the waves drifting out drifting in. Redwinged Blackbird calls from undercover of wild roses.

Driftwood messengers

Heartbeat rhythm on the wind

Shifts of time

Sky Talk

Study the language

What is the first line

When did your understanding begin

How many questions have you asked

Why not

Who are you now

Who were you before

What is the one purpose to which you aspire

The sky delivers notes on a messenger bird

Check your pockets

You may imagine you need a translator

You need only be still

Be

What is the message

What does a sky know anyway

More than I

More than you

A dimensional traveller

A seer

A curator of acts

A promulgator of fate

A harbinger

A collage of beauty and debris

A curtain of velvet and chain

A theatre of death metal and symphony

A canvas for reverence and horror

A chameleon of change and stasis

A prophet of mysterium tremendum

Whose eyes witness this same sky

What message do you send

When you believe no one sees

But the eyes of your intention

What is your métier

Today is the matter

Tomorrow you may know better

Forever soars with tireless wings

Frame

Photo tilts left

in the room of messy flowers

Light splashes shadows

these old silenced walls

Rest your head

for an evening

Lay it down, you wandering traveler

Everything yearned for lives

out of reach but still in sight

Boots on at dawn

Turning page, young seeker

Toss those maps over the ledge

Step one, you are ready

eyes bright with colour

Black and white was just a crack

drawing you in

Your beginning
