REACH FOR THE SUN

Reach for
The sun my child,
Turning your face lightly,
Until the gold blooms on your skin,
Taking
You to
A new place in time, free from pain,
Fly on sorrows dark wings,
Made golden now,
Dancing

THIS HAIKU CAME OUT OF MY EXPERIENCE TODAY WITH DEEP BODILY PAIN

Oh darkness of pain
You consummated my life
My God where are You?

GOLDEN DAWN

Golden
Dawn promises
The golden crown of life
Though first there is a race to run
Mountains
To climb
In the parched desert of our lives
We find nuggets of gold
A foretaste of
New life

PASSING THROUGH

Passing through this world
We leave a trace, good, ill, nought
Can erase us now

FATHOM THE DEEP

Fathom
The deep inside
You, walk on deep waters
Do not be afraid, for there you
Will learn
Depths of
Love you never knew before, move
Across the waters, plumb
Their depths, joy comes
With birth

DEAD PEOPLE

Sear me with your words
Until I become lifeless
And then watch me rise
Dead people don’t walk do they
I do the impossible

THE FLEA ON A BUS

A flea was once sat on a bus
And it heard everyone discuss
How to get rid of fleas
With the greatest of ease
And really wished it was a puss
