Nullius addictus iurare in verba magistri, quo me cumque rapit tempestas, deferor hospes.

Legacy

Posted on March 13, 2023 by a foolhardy florilegium

There’s so much loss, so little gain; I look around sweet Gaia’s pain. I see each day more land on fire; We dance around her funeral pyre. Each day there’s less that’s left behind; What will we leave for our … Continue reading →

The Unwanted Child

Posted on January 18, 2023 by a foolhardy florilegium

I knew him once, the unwanted child. At times he went a little wild; his life, it often went awry with thoughts so often in the sky. Missteps he made what e’er he tried; sometimes he stole sometimes he lied. … Continue reading →

The Seed

Posted on January 18, 2023 by a foolhardy florilegium

There is a Seed spread ‘cross the land; a Seed that grows blossoms so grand. A noxious weed there’s some would say, this Seed that spreads wide every day. Within this Seed the simple path to return us to community’s … Continue reading →

The Future is Ours?

Posted on December 14, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

The Mother is gone; receded in time. Our future is ours and so is our crime. We’re on our own from this time forth. It’s time for us to show our worth. The new way awaits to see our choice, … Continue reading →

War

Posted on December 14, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

We fight our wars for some vain glory; The endless tale – our heroes story. If we were ‘gifted’ by Spirits above; Why do we plunder in the name of some God’s love?

The Call

Posted on December 6, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

The truth is there, she said quite clear; the Spirit folk are always near. To simply hold to Gaia’s creed can help this world so much in need. So stand strong now in times of hate; stand simply but accept … Continue reading →

Time

Posted on December 4, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

There comes a time I hear them say paying the Piper’s the only way humanity can move at last from this cage that holds us fast; this cage we’ve built to self-contain our lives in this place of constant pain. … Continue reading →

We the people

Posted on November 11, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

We the people used to speak, today we are so mild and meek, we seem to walk in constant fear; The End Is Nigh, or so we hear. An end is but a new beginning unless we see the bullies … Continue reading →

The Winds

Posted on October 27, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

The winds of change are blowin’, they rage across the land; the winds of change are blowin’, as they move time’s own sand. The future is now coming, the past’s left far behind; tomorrow is another day, I wonder what … Continue reading →

The Rhythm

Posted on October 26, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

The Rhythm is one, the Rhythm is all; the Rhythm was lost in humanities fall. The Rhythm’s still there if only we seek the simple sound that’s how the Gods speak.

Where Do I Begin?

Posted on October 26, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

Where is the Spirit, where is the song? Where is the rhythm to which we belong? So far from our world, so far from our hearts; why are we so lost to the Spirit’s true arts? I breathe and I … Continue reading →

Life

Posted on October 9, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

I live in a world where I seen no future; at least no future for the way we exist today. Quietly I dream of a life in some far off, imagined world way. But I am old, my blood runs … Continue reading →

On Spirit, Mammon & Humanity

Posted on October 9, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

We’ve turned our backs on Spirit, now we face the void alone. We’ve turned her Garden into dollars like dogs gnawing a bone. Humanity goes by the by when there’s Mammon to be made and any who don’t ‘toe the … Continue reading →

Questions

Posted on October 9, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

How can we win in a world run by fools? How can we have peace when nationalistic ego rules? How can we have unity when governments divide? Why do we elect them when we know they’ve lied? Why do we … Continue reading →
