Today




Today I made a decision
To negate the sense of dread, foreboding, fear
That grips my guts, that threatens to overwhelm me
From this day on I choose to view life only positively
All tyrants dead and buried on some precious hill
Those that bomb schools and mosques will soon have had their fill.
Those that did not vote for Bush will rise to take a place
Upon the world arena and they will leave more than a trace
They will blaze a path of hope and peace
That other folks can follow at their ease
America will fulfil it’s early promise, staunch it’s bleeding
Answer the cries, heal it’s sick, give food to the ones who need feeding.
We privileged yet disaffected of the planets womb
Will also rise to pull our conscious and our powers from their tomb
To stand against this seeming downward spiralling
The deliberate annihilation of every good and positive thing.
Today I choose to believe the troubles that afflict me
Are a microcosm; there so that I can choose to see
That only my commitment to believe in the intrinsic goodness of all humanity
Only working to create peace and harmony in my immediate vicinity
Not doubting that all the so called bad which assails us/me now
Are only there to give the knowledge and practise of how
To turn the world around.
Today I choose to know with whole my soul
That I can create the peace, abundance harmony that is my goal
I alone can raise the flag that is my gift
Lift it high and bear it bravely cross the rift
So all others trapped upon depressions rage swamped shore
Can see and choose to follow bringing their own flag to the fore
Despair, depression, sadness are a trap for me no more
I shall feel them, let them claim me then I’ll show them to the door.
You can also choose to change
Feel your feelings in their gamut and their range
Then let them fly forever free
Un-judged, ever-changing symbols of our divinity
Choose to know that behind every pain
Is a loving gift that will make you whole again.

For Them

At a certain point I realized that I disdained the things I most admire d Attempted to trash the relationships I most desired The more I fe lt for someone it seemed, the more I exploited/abused/manipulated hopefully lovingly I t took time to see and understand how Every time I fel t a failure in someone else ' s eyes In an avoiding way I 'd try to disguise m y fear of rejection B y blaming w hoever fo r what/ how/ wherever I 'm here to share and hope it helps to know I ’ m finally get ting it clear I t ha s been hard to acknowledge the extent of my fear It was so scary to begin to understand and to see The things that I d id to fool myself and a void taking responsibility T o understand f ully/wholly/completely/quintessentially.

The unspeakable

Jerking upright in bed,  Summer but not a trace of sunrise Only the wash of the street lights glimmering in the sky Ageing eyes try to defy their waning sight Define solace: Granting outlines in the surrounding space Listen instead to your blood pound To ignore the thoughts that race, then pace, but never still That’s how you know he’s calling to you That’s when you hear the impending journey Rushing where once it sauntered, Running towards you, pulling you towards it, cajoling That which was beyond the bounds is now beside That which formerly hinted mortality now howls That’s when you tell yourself you have no fear That’s when you hear yourself say you have no regrets As a quagmire tsunami swamps you with memories That make your guts wrench and nail That smile to the corners of you lips. He may be a She, he may not wear black, Don’t let him have a scythe or a sand timer. She may smile, she will smile. She will smile A...

On the death of a (friend's) son

BEREAVED   From rage to sadness To a recognition of the fear. Spring that never seems to come Summer that limps and is too soon gone Autumn’s golden wonder flashes, it's magnificent fall Fades to a winter that underlined it all. Another year, yet another year, years and years Remembrance of laughter or only the tears?  Where was the glory? Was there passion? Was there a sense of fulfilling a mission? Death strides the corridors where others creep Run for the woods and valley’s  Jump, spring, leap Feel him at the edges when daring to sleep. Yet, know it, without seeing or feeling it What a fabulous world filled with fantastic beings Hope is the life source  For those beyond youth Hope can rise eternal to reveal a truth Truth is a banner that displays When happiness truly here resides Hope and happiness veiled but they abide. From fear to truth from truth to bliss Trust, have faith, belie...
