Think again


Lost direction
no hope and no clue
think again
there it be in the quietening of your thoughts
the answer clearly placed
waiting until you eventually slow
that most ridiculous pace.

Take a moment
handle it with care
whisper, I’d like your attention
to this problem please
I ask now to repair.

These are the requirements.
Nothing more arduous than
stop
recognise who you are
in that emotionally charged moment
and then eventually your life is satisfied.

Home – if Only



Take me home
let me be free
the birds are singing
and I know their call
that sweet and heavenly sound.

The birds are indicating
the world is no longer at war
but not that things are all calmly in place

For I am now
so very far from home
and long to be at peace
among that wondrous calm
and sound of nature’s throng.

Voices from Ypres

We are alone
We are not rested here
the battle over,
the songs of sorrow are long

And our days of misery
are not worth the agony our memory holds
And to us, not you
it now belongs.

God give us the grace,
the blessings now required
to live our lives
of misery they do contain
in peaceful sorrow we have to remain
and you, in your living have no idea,
but genuflect

Pity help us
why you cannot rest
our lives of who we are
to now in sorrow
deeply sadden do attest.

Peace, Peace, Utter Peace

Who on Earth can give it to me now?

I am suffering here among the flotsam and jetsam of ages gone and present dis-at-ease of thoughtless behaviour and criminal intent.

Our world, this globe of a phenomenal place is at a loss calmly contemplating its horrid face.

What did we do, are we doing in a world we should care for and love? For this Earth is all we do actually have folks for our existence, our place, our part for life to be lived as a human race.

Give me the other, the love I have known.

Give me the outlook and not the human disgrace and shame.

Give me the ability, skill and desire required now to complete my life without any more blame for what I am doing and have done in another’s name in another’s place of worship. In this land, this sea, this watery landscape required to grow and be sustaining of me, my life, my presence here among others where we are supposed to differ, but live a life equally pleased to be supporting and nourishing this life force – humanity.

The Aftermath of War

War within our families.

War within our families.
War within our borders.
War with others distant, way beyond our own land’s shores.
