Our World




Our world

Is no different

To anything else

We might build
-
We have to put

A lot of the work in

Ourself

Universe within a Brain






That which is not perceived
May yet still exist
Outside our minds
Strong and real
As the world we sense around us
-
Wanting only to be seen
To be understood
-
Little by little
Piece by piece
-
An expanded awareness
Of another limitless experience
-
Built to match the needs of the observer
-
Incorporating the challenges of a lifetime
-
A parallel of a parallel
-
Another Universe
-
Within
A
Brain

As Colour Hidden in white Light





As colour
Hidden
In white light

Energy
At speed
In flight

Your soul
Vibrating
Rainbow like

Navigates
This mortal life

Inseparable
Human phase

Let loose
Midst life’s bedazzling maze

To navigate
A world unsure

To blunder on
Through misnamed doors

A ship sailed
In a rock strewn sea

False lit with lights
Set to mislead

Thrown onto shores
That crush and bleed

Pushed stumbling down
Onto its knees

But ever struggling up
Again

To battle onward
Through the pain

You know yourself
You need no name
You are the fire
The coloured rain

You travel
Motionless

Unseen by sight

Pure energy
Just as colour
In white light

A Word




A word Is a craft
A thought launched from our mind
Into the flux of invisible time
A drawn out, extended
Gossamer string
That travels dimensions
In need of no wings

Defiance II

I defy the morning rising
Though I saw the setting sun
-
I defy that night is coming
Even though my day is done
-
I defy all that is spoken
But seek truth, where ‘ere its from
-
I defy the masses massing
Knowing not their right or wrong
-
I defy all of creation
Yet I think I do belong
-
I defy the very tempest
Though I know I am not strong
-
I defy all life’s illusions
Yet love what they're built upon
-
I defy that death will take me
It's long lonely journey on
-
I defy the very moment
When all things return to one
-
I defy the state of nothing
Which is why I wrote this song
-
As my spirit will be fighting
-
Still defiant
-
On and on
-
When all around
Is dressed in silence
-
After every thing has
-
Gone

Epitaph of Man


As scattered light
Spread by the dawn
Infused in nature
We are born


As grey clouds cross
A winters sky
With silver streaked
We live and die 


As cold winds blow
The flurried snow
Into the night
So we must go


But not before 

Our time has come
To touch the earth
To feel the sun


Our colours mixed
Our brush out flung
Our canvas painted
With no plan


And yet so

 beautiful

This life
Of
Ordinary

Man

Bumble Bees







Bemused
Befuddled
Bumble Bees
Whose ragged wings
Say
Summers gone
Still bravely forage
On and on
Now amongst
More seeds
Than flowers
Lavender
With sleeping powers
Once yellow coats
Now beige
With hours
Of dedicated purpose
Flown
Such busy lives
They never moan
Back and forth
To and fro
Until the sun sunk orange glow
Sends them to bed
Where
No one knows

Then go forward as gold that is struck by the Sun

Awareness
Of
Things
-
Learning
To See
-
Language
Installed
-
Child Life
-
Carefree
-
Interaction
-
The Lie
-
Distortion
-
The Pain
-
Loss of Faith
Man's Delusion
Such is life's game
-
So hold
To that Moment
You first heard your Name
The lie not yet born
The mind still unstained
-
Then go forward
As gold that is struck by the Sun
-
Innocence
Blinded
--
A Life
New begun

TRUTH






Truth dwells in many places and It travels many
Roads

Truth hides behind our faces whether we be
Saints or Rogues

Truth built the world we live in as it built a
Thousand More

Truth gave us all a conscience, to lead us to their
Doors
