when you look from your tranquillity
what do you see
does it make words worth singing
love worth living
life worth giving

so to gaze
reflections of whoever’s ways
do breath the air
that lives could share
send hearts to bear

here are the days, laughter and blue
just passing through
a spell, a rhyme
this mountain to climb
the gift of time

one day, might look so high
consider where and why
and absorb the years
know this disappears
wipe the tears

that sparkle in your eye

though that smile
is your joy
and the stillness
is your peace
the fire
is that sparkle in your eye

though the answers
are perplexing
and the reasons
so surreal
the enigma
is that sparkle in your eye

though your journey
seems so far
and the path
of elusive fare
the reward
is that sparkle in your eye

though changes
are the cost to live
and each day
brings its different trials
the constant
is that sparkle in your eye

secrets in tinderboxes

where goes the unmannerly world of days
and how did the masquerade begin
might beauty have unseemly ways
be gold a mere vermeil herein
has time an essence or is memory staid
can hunger hone an edge on passing plight
when gone the stage where be the role played
will all of this revealed, an alchemist’s delight
should quicksand take creation, reabsorb
could cycles reinvent what once was true
or do all motes remain the secrets of this orb
in tinderboxes, held against their will, like you

narrative

with a fresh quill
dipped into the ink of my life
heavenly red
turned into worldly blue
to compose
a story of warmest sand
in sparkling sun
of the highest midday

here
chapters surrender
light to cobalt
where moon and dreams
unite as love
a singularity
without contemplation
or endeavour

and mindful
that fiction does not end
a solitude, perplexed
is future
without reason
maybe satisfaction
can be words
as generations pass
