Flickerings of musings
Tug unquenched wonderings
Curiosities set ablazing
Unwavering imaginings spilling
Crescendos of discoveries birthing
Possibilities like thunder unleashing

Scatterings of the Mind
Minds, broken fragments
Awash in scattered ashes
Hold secrets in their hollows
Where ghostly pasts are hiding
Untouched by dusty pastures

Boundless
When the heavens are starlit
My consciousness illuminates my being
My mind is deafeningly silenced
And with my beating heart
The boundless beauty of life unfolds

Truest Selves

Did we forget nature’s invitation
To pause and drink its grandeur?
Did we ponder foul and fair
And grow from lessons dealt?
Have we denied our truest selves?

Contented?
I learned to taste life fully
I thought I’d try it all
I tried to venture further
And break down every wall
I savoured every morsel
I chewed it through and through
I tried to live life fully
With every bite I grew

Vision of hope

When they inherit the Earth
We could tell the story of
The lies that blinded us to truth
The lessons learned on mistaken turns
We can tell the story of
The day the smog was cleared
And our lungs could freely fill
When they inherit the Earth
We can tell a story of
The day the butterflies
Could once more dance and flutter
Absolved of deadly threats
When they inherit the Earth
We can tell a story of
Every rainbow colour standing
Proudly heart in heart
We can tell them all about the day
Our minds abruptly wakened
To all the planet’s colours
Flowing from a single fountain

Miss Labelled
“Odd” – because I stand out from the crowd
“Weird” – because my tastes are not like yours
“Dysfunctional” – because my emotions cloud all else (at times)
“Fussy” – because I choose silence over chatter
“Stupid” – because it takes time to process your speech
“Lazy” – because reading stories is effortful
“Unfriendly” – because fake smiles are lost on me
“Unsociable” – because my own space is sacrosanct
Are these the labels you use to judge?
To deride, to define, to undermine?
Is there another way to see?
And challenge the things you think you see?

The Writer In Your Mind
The autumnal chill was shattered
As flaming spears from the grate
Spilled wild fevers through the writer’s cove
Illuminating the inky heavens
Glinting celestial scatterings unveiled
Yet the moon remained cautious
Cloaked within clusters of cloud
Only the advancing sleeper train
Its loudening hypnotic rhythms
Seduced it to unmask its glory
To play hide-and-seek upon its reflective roof
Like a panther awakened from restless slumbers
Journeying through misty terrains unknown
Meandering, a hungry predatory prowler
Edgy and uncertain of where it would rest
Yet convinced and compelled of its onslaught
