From the very beginning

The sun rose

And all to teach me how to cast my eyes to heaven

Cloudy days are like sacrifices

But to compensate we have the green

And water worlds,

Tall trees and dappled sunlight suit me best

Most would like to begin the world again

I knew from the very beginning that my heart was tender

Easily broken. There is no balm for the earth’s hurt.

Do not deceive yourself, time is short

Wounds only sometimes heal. You knew from the beginning

That you didn’t want to live a life with eyes closed

Senses anesthetised

Marooned on the island of self

Developing a dryness of manner, an alienating wit

Some people endure a closed life of repetition.

Simple used to be a compliment as holy fools attest

Avoid the vortex of doubt

Reach out in shade and sun,

Lay out a platter of dreams

Do not miss the dawn

There is no cure for dreams in words.

It is time to give gifts of time

And money beneath the holy sun.
