Posted on May 2, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

The Unwanted Child

Posted on February 12, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

Teach the Children

Posted on February 8, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

The Dispossessed

Posted on February 7, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

Words

Posted on September 30, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

I speak not in words my darling for they tangle in my mind; the words that are within my heart are not what you then find. I write the words that are my truth; they are what you now see. … Continue reading →

Posted on July 16, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

The echoes of futures, the shadows they’ve cast; our futures are buried so deep in our past. Unless we can solve the labyrinth’s way it’s stuck in this place that we all will stay. Where are the answers but deep … Continue reading →

The Light

Posted on November 17, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

I watch it burning sometimes; that bright candle in the room. I watch the way she walks about; bright sunlight in life’s gloom. I know I don’t deserve her and I often wonder why she chose a grumpy man like … Continue reading →

Corporate Care

Posted on August 30, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

A re-found youth

Posted on May 11, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

Trees and Gaia, hearth and fire, conversation unite a nation. Wilderness walk and gentle talk the key to peace; a soul’s release. The hope within when we begin to find our truth; a re-found youth.
