WASP

Now
Would you help
The wasp
That flounders

-
Struggling
In the jar of rain
-
Or
Would you watch
His life expire

-
Never to fly
Once
Again
-
Could he rest upon your finger?

-
Would he sting you with His
Pain?
-
If he flew
Would he tell God

-
You saved
His life

-
Whisper
Your
Name

Bluebells (Or Memories for Heaven)

The bluebells stand silently

-
Witnessing
Their green nature
-
Delicate chains
Of
Crisp bells

-

Weeping
Soft scents
Of
An English spring
-
Draped carelessly
Around old oaks
-
Waves of blue heaven
-
Sweeping down
Beneath the coppiced hazels

-
To
The Valley of the wildwood

-Right thereWithin us
-For it is through us
-
God lives

What Colour is Behaviour

What Colour is Behaviour
-
Where intolerance is bred
-
Green, Violet or Indigo
-
Orange, Yellow, Blue or Red
-
Such colours live in Rainbows
-
As component parts of Life
-
Yet
-
In 
-
Tolerance 
-
Together
-
Turn their colours into Light

And they all call it Britain

Crisp green the stems of daffodils
That brave in spring cold sun
Soft tender green the hawthorn buds
Unfurled with winter done
Bright green the fresh leaves on the limes
That verdant branches lace
Dark green the lily’s slender shoot
The moist earth piercing breaks

But greenest of all that is green
An island Earth did make
And they all call it Britain
Natures green estate

2009

As either daughters, or as sons

Our weapons to defeat the scythe of time

That

Through Earth eternalise our places

That carry beauty ever forward

From our Minds

Are our children

And

Such poetry of graces

For

Whilst we living stand alone

Each every one

We are in truth

The verse itself

As either Daughters

Or as Sons

Something You Don't Want To Hear

We choose the place
We go from here
-
Through what to us
Is held as dear
-
If nothing is
Then where you go
-
Is something
You don't want to know

The Balance (Death of a Song Thrush)

Life is a balance
-
All
-
The
-
Way
-
Indulgence leads
-
Where pleasure plays
-

You gain

-

You lose

-

Your choice

-

You choose

-
Beware
-
The balance though
-

It moves
