Lost in a whirlwind


Take me home to that sanctuary
of a mindful thought and practice.
A place of revelation, hope and potential.

A place of joy and pain too of course,
but not out of the celebration and victories
of that horror of wars and the like.

Violent men and women struggle
at that gate for a greedy share
only to discover end time is always a threat
as it gathers momentum in the ages that follow –
generations I am saddened to declare.

Out of nowhere


I saw a shadowy figure
come out of a darkened scene.
His eyes were quite blood shot
as if blood circling
and swirling in a white stream.

Somewhere out of no-where
the scene began to create
a type of hysteria
as a crowd heavily armed
began to reverberate.

Nothing quite like this scene
before had evolved,
but now the gentle-man
who had come around to the crowd
calmed them from a state of agitation
to that of a beneficial outcome
and sang the song of peace.

A final passing


There is to be a message that comes in loudly at times
and at others a mere whisper, but none the same clear to my ears
and that is if we do not value ourselves as human beings
there is no hope for this generation to have a final passing
without leaving some form of disaster, untreated, to our fellow travellers.
But far more importantly, to those we love and hold very dear.

Who are you in this present moment, the one that takes you to task?
And who are you with the very best intention when nothing of worth lasts?

I am the God of all it says in some very special texts
but if I am of the all and everything that this creature God did make,
then who am I toward myself,
that which of God did make?

Take my word for it…


Revelations come in waves
some quite stronger than others
some quiet and unassuming
and others well quite the opposite
violent, unbearable and without restraint.

Life – yours is a similar path
get use to it and suffer less.
Get around the barriers and explore within
where life is shaped, addressed and understood
at least to a point of indifference,
tolerance, acceptance and compromise.

Take my word for it…
Life begins and ends with a death.
Life is born – death to another
to allow growth to begin.
Death as life is a continuum,
but in-between is a choice – yours –
how…
learn the art of observation, reflection and thought.

No way out


Not long now,
the time is passing rapidly
the world is into despair.
So much wealth and greed,
so much more pain, suffering
and despondency.

What ails a twenty-first century?

Man has lost his call, the way
for rightful men and women
to lead a good faith-filled life
toward self and others.

Get out of your head and think heart.

No way out – leave
and wilfully lead a good clean life.
Doubt – well, that is fear my friend
and life is uncertain
no matter what your choice or path.
