Winter Solstice
‘Tis Winter Solstice (Summer here) yet it’s true meaning is not clear. Some fat bloke in an outfit red sneaks into our children’s head. Subverts it for consumerist greed, no loving here or folks in need. We hide in houses … Continue reading

The Song of Angels
I hear the song of Angels from someplace far away and I hope that I will get there; perhaps I will one day. For now I find I’m happy to hear their distant call; to hear their gentle rhythms melodic … Continue reading

Why?
Why does this rank fear come through us that permeates the land? Why does this rank fear come through us like dark and shifting sand? Why can’t we stand up straight and tall, heads held high and proud? Why can’t … Continue reading

The End
The day she died we never knew; us ‘lucky ones’ – ‘the chosen few’. Living in our worlds secure; all sacrosanct and Oh so pure. We felt her pass – the trembling earth; death from which there is no rebirth. … Continue reading

They wander loose within my mind; these words my humble writings find. They twist and turn within my brain; I let them out or go insane. Sometimes I see them on their own, like single seeds the wind has blown … Continue reading

The Weeping Reaping
I saw a world the other day where Angels wept up Heavens way. I asked them “What does cause your pain; they said “Those people gone insane.” I looked to where their hands did wave where Demons danced upon my … Continue reading
