The Trail

Posted on May 30, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

If hearts are warm they face life’s storm and see the truth that is their youth for hearts don’t die if they can fly; they don’t get cold as we get old. They shine their light and know what’s right … Continue reading →

1984 Revisited

Posted on May 28, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

Shades of ’84 ring clear; history changed – a rule by fear. When little men with little minds rewrite with what their little mind finds fallacies will rule the day and truth will be an unknown way. Censorship will always … Continue reading →

Inspiration

Posted on May 28, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

To find the wisdom that I seek I need someone both strong and meek; a person who can seek the whole while keeping sight of their own goal. A man or woman who can be an inspiration to you and … Continue reading →

On Shadows

Posted on May 27, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

My Soul

Posted on May 26, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

Posted on May 25, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

The Young Ones Are Revolting

Posted on May 25, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

I watch the Spirit rising; so high the young can fly. I watch their anger rising for the planet we’d let die. The rebellion now has started, we might finally see the end; a last reprieve for Gaia so she … Continue reading →

The Tear

Posted on May 25, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

At times I feel that I should cry to let my Spirit fly on high. But then, my inner ‘stifled man’ screams “That is not true manhoods plan!” and so, instead, I weep inside; my inner feelings then can hide. … Continue reading →

Set Me Free

Posted on May 22, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

Those things long past will never be; it is now time to set them free. To worry now ’bout what has been; like seeking pastures ever green is swimming against the flow of the way time does always go. The … Continue reading →

Gaia’s Way

Posted on May 19, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

Awakening to a new brand new morn; that time when hope and love are born. No thing on Earth can mar this day; ‘cos in the end it’s Gaia’s way.

Fear

Posted on May 19, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

Yesterday was filled with fear; today the path’s is far more clear. The Wise are coming very soon; they will be our doom or boon. Three Owls circle at this time with wisdom we will find sublime. From a Crow … Continue reading →

Where I Would Rest

Posted on May 18, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

I’ve wandered down so many paths, some even into light; but mostly I’ve just staggered round in the darkest night. I know that there is sunshine and wisdom to be found and on the quest to find some this old … Continue reading →

Goodnight

Posted on May 16, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

And now, to you folk one and all, I think I hear my pillow call and so it’s time I’m off to bed; I feel I need to rest my head. It’s Winter time, the night is long and in … Continue reading →

Roles

Posted on May 16, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

It’s not the role of politics to say if we should live or die. It’s not the role of bureaucrats to pour pollution in the sky. It’s not the role of anyone to choose the future of my life; who … Continue reading →

Gaia’s Call

Posted on May 16, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

When the doors of revelation are open just a crack, it’s then the Soul can take a peak, forward but not back. What have we now arrived at and where do we go now, the answer’s not in our hands, … Continue reading →
