Twisted Roots

Alone stands modern man,          product of products for

Hair, skin, white-teeth, tan;         ethos came shop bought and canned.

Artificed for ease of use                 synthetic fibres force away

Weather’s organic abuse,             like a magnet repellent to life.

Even here, in this place where                    the pace of life slows into seasons,

Time and space to replace c...

Moonlit Garden

What hides amid the darkness,

absent of the sunlight,

In the dimly moonlit garden,

deep into the night.

 

Yesterday's glimpse of a weasel

hiding in my well,

led me to wonder, a curiosity

I need to quell.

 

I may set up a night cam,

to snap jumping frogs

and capture the visitations

from prickly hedgehogs.

 

Hopeful there would be a fox,

The river's rest is slow to come

The eagle's nest is hidden from

Earth and Sky

So many shades of green

Lime, fern, shamrock, juniper and parakeet

Some bask in the island sun

While others sway in the cool shade of lazy clouds

They all climb

So many shades of green

They all climb

But they never reach the wide blue 

And the blue can never desecnd 

What is there to do?

Let it rain, let it rain

The sky goddess shed tears for the earth god
