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
Month: August 2018
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
THE COMICAL FLEA
There once was a comical flea
Who came to our house for tea
He jumped up and down
Was the best in town
And gave entertainment for free
THE COCKEREL AND THE BEE
A cockerel that strutted around
With beautiful feathers was crowned
Till one day a bee
Landed on him for tea
And he crowed as he danced round and round
RISING
I hear
Birds call in trees
I once could see, water
Running beside me, maybe soon
I will
Run too
The lark rises into the sky
Her breast to the sun, sings
Her sweet song, hope
Rises
Maybe
One day I too
Will rise, face the sun, sing
A song of triumph, sorrow gone,
Tears wiped
Away
The sun calls me like the birds, shines
In my heart, warming me,
Do you see it?
Look now
