Sunlight indicates the dawning of a new day’s potential,

striking the hill across the valley, alerting me to life:

sparrows peck in the strawberry bed, flutter in the birdbath

and the blackbird seeks vital food for her hedge-hidden chicks.

A new dawn’s blessings break for me every twenty-four hours,

I am guilty of taking many for granted, trusting fate

to bring me another, a...

Everything novel turns normal, over time;

nature’s repetitive familiarity

making us ignore Earth’s every day beauty.

Birds fly in thin air – so too gnats and dragonflies;

dragons – as per legend – used to fly above us,

fairy tale creatures linked to the health of our land.

Fairies also fly, bringing wonder to children

yet to lose their magic, yet to have hope destroy...

The Climate is changing, affecting the whole world,

affecting every living thing on the Earth,

with very many losers, most of whom will be

unrealised, unrecognised and uncounted.

Climate stats start with the number of people who

are impacted – nations displaced, islands gone, plains

flooded, livelihoods destroyed and peoples distraught

and we hear of folk’s plight weekly,...

Ever since I remember, the forests have burned,

governments have suppressed, and the Markets have ruled,

and ever since I remember, there’s been a groundswell,

a movement – resistance in the face of inevitable doom,

and ever since I remember, nothing has changed, nothing has been done,

the Forests burn, the oceans warm, the ice melts,

and, ever since I remember, we edge past poin...

Stand at a high place and look.

Hair-rush winds lung freshen.

Wind, neither warm nor cold, they’d call a gale.

No bother weather that’d put the good folk off.

Stand in a jumper when they’d insist on a coat.

Wind: releasing tension’s grip;

ferreting out knickety burr-wrinkles;

soothing skackety skick-crinkles.

Breathe Height; ride groundswell.

See aeons str...

Stress related illness, mental hardship – life-battle against grain wears down resistance.

Going through the mill and getting stuck between the grindstones shatters, defeats resilience.

Time off – to heal, away from the harum and the scarum, away from rush-hassle.

Calm self-space to drift-chill away-bob in mind-meander thought-loops.

Luxuriant mind-doldrums feather deep-release easy ch...

Life stasis.  Rut. Climb out, escape

Decaying detritus.

Manifest new reality

Through positive action.

Hesitant.  Awaiting Order.

Unable to instruct

Self to act.  External control

Required to achieve goal.

Observe: written word, adventure -

Other’s experience:

Second hand life – passivity’s

Bespoke, known creation.

Disallow life’s victimising

Solitude's serenity.

Hard won.

Solace in loneliness achieved only post-turmoil.

Mind-spin thought-paths create anxiety, confusion.

Smash-render peace elusive illusion.

Prevent slow succour-drift.

Heart-ache loneliness from gut-yearn apprehension resists calm.

Peace in tranquility hideous-mind forbidden.

Persistent thought-loops cover unpalatable memories, memes, paradi...

Tread softly, transient visitor.

Impact gently.

We are burdens, weighing upon the world.

Rest light.

Leave no trace.

Our networks.  Friends.   Relatives.

Support our mental/emotional health.

Our spiritual wellbeing.

Earth supports our physical selves.

Dependency-webbed, we're bonded.

We draw upon our networks.

And are drawn upon, testing bonds.

Some br...

Time took the whole.

What I thought was mine.

Swallowed up.

We share this moment with all creation.

One quantum between all of us.

Creation's quantum.

I believed experience to be whole.

I have only fragments.

And those are, at best, images and feelings.

Time eats us.

Swallows us whole.

And when all's said and done.

We leave with nothing.

Save knowing that we'...
