Centred in the space of space

A universal signal sensed

Rhythmic rising soothing falling

All living things condensed

Seeing is believing overcoming doubt

Hearing quiet whispers

Here Now

Walk a quiet road and never be alone

Silent footsteps leading out of a dream

Feel the gentle spray of warm colour

Reach out for the kind light of new hope

 

Too Late

Early morning standing in a trance

Sadness covered me like a cloak

As though all plans had cruised away

Left inundated by a missing boat


Tides had turned as I slept soundly

Deep dreams of travel held me back

Half-hearted beats denying me

My pole position on the inside track

When is the Best Time to Prepare?

To pack away things no longer needed

Clear away the debris and sweep up

Do the final acts of good housekeeping

Then to sit back and look back

To remember how amazing, it all was

Humbling yet splendid things you learned

Ecstatic moments you felt fortunate to share

Those times when being there was so good

Being smart enough to learn from your mistakes

Truly sorry for misunderstanding the truth

Feelings of deep loss when heartache swamped

Getting over the many prejudices you carried

Finding happiness is found in the simplest things

Weapons of Mass Distraction

The pocket magic palmtop

Have our thoughts contained

Releasing us from certainty

Leaving knowledge unexplained

Continual interruptions

Pointless trivia overflow

Bite-sized facts in useless packs

The mobile coup will overthrow

Once we knew so much about

Misinformation’s downright lies

Now we’re drowning in irrelevance
