A poem from my archives for this moment in time…
Not Owning
You eat and breathe such hatred
That I can only ask
Where have you put forgiveness?
That thing from which you fast
No creature in the cosmos
Deserves to live in fear
But that is what you peddle
So let’s make that quite clear
You justify your cruelty
By saying it’s defense
But you create a sorrow
Because you won’t relent
Now god has given freedom
In everything we do
And we must own our actions
That means both me and you
For life can be so fleeting
And the earth we cannot own
So at least while we are living
Let’s make it a happy home

LUNAR TIDE
THE WATER EBBS
AWAY FROM SHORE
THIS LUNAR CYCLE
IT CAN’T IGNORE
FOR IT MUST FOLLOW
WHERE TIDES COMMAND
AS IT DOTH RACE
AWAY FROM LAND
IT LEAVES THE SHORE
SO STARK AND BARE
TO THINK THAT ONCE
THE SEA WAS THERE
NOW ALL THATS LEFT
IS RIPPLED SAND
WHERE ONCE HAD BEEN
AN OCEAN GRAND
FOR NOW THE WIND
HAS TOOK ITS PLACE
AS THROUGH DUNES
IT DOES PACE
UNTIL AT LAST
THE TIDE DECIDES
IT CAN ONCE MORE
ITSELF RESIDE
UPON THIS SANDY SHORE
A little humour
Play Piano
I’d love to play piano
to stroke and touch those keys
but the music I would make
would bring you to your knees
for I’ve never had a lesson
or tried to play a tune
so it’s best I leave the lid down
and have a little croon
for my singing is quite pleasant
I think that you will find
or maybe those who listened
were being very kind
perhaps I’ll find some paper
and press it to my comb
then march around the kitchen
whose walls improve its tone
what’s that I hear you shouting
to put my comb away
as you’ve heard enough of music
to last all the day
well I’ll go into the garden
to imitate a bird
for I’ve got the best of whistles
that you have ever heard
but the birds have all departed
and left me on my own
as I’m called inside for dinner
to stop me tapping on this stone.
