Finally
Looking back across the Journey that brought me to this place I’m kinda glad I’ve led the life that helped me find this grace. I’m finally feeling worthy (well on the better days) and I like the way my mind … Continue reading

A Few Hundred Years
A few hundred years, so much is lost; our engines churn not counting the cost. A world we’ve fed to the factory’s greed; a truly atrocious spiritual deed. Nations and species, lands of power; in my mouth today the taste … Continue reading

Our Election (or The Death of Gaia – The Great Demise)
“Enough is enough” the Spirits said “no more till this election’s put to bed.” Neither side knows what it’s about and though their backers would love a rout whichever side wins, there’s no reprieve for the thing for which we … Continue reading

The Song
Images of days gone by embedded in my brain; images of beauty alongside images of pain. Images of futures a fleeting glimpse at most; images of a planet where we’re all burnt the toast. Earth is slowly burning and we … Continue reading

From here to there
As I walk on my Journey from here to there all I see is the beauty of her everywhere. Ahead of me the beauty and wealth of the wall; behind me a river of blood where they did fall. Ahead … Continue reading

Musings
I know I’m in here somewhere; this tangled mess of mind. I know I’m in here somewhere; it’s me I need to find. Sometimes it all becomes a maze, of walls all infinitum, that towers over heart and soul until … Continue reading

Keys
Walking on trails so long forgot; at times I break into a trot. These paths of old were a part of the Journey of my heart. Perhaps now I’m a bit more wise to the truth behind the lies of … Continue reading
