Posted on April 19, 2014 by a foolhardy florilegium

Journey

Posted on April 8, 2014 by a foolhardy florilegium

Walk not upon the Fields of Glory; where they lead – a painful story. Walk rather on the fields of peace; their gentle love and sweet release. Our footfalls lead our chosen way; tracks in life’s sand at end of … Continue reading →

Trueman

Posted on April 4, 2014 by a foolhardy florilegium

At times I want to go to ground beneath some bush without a sound. A fearful, trembling, cowardly mess who sees himself as always less. But less than what, I do not know; less than the stars or rivers flow? … Continue reading →

Thoughts

Posted on March 27, 2014 by a foolhardy florilegium

Thoughts as prisons in our mind; a tangled web we can’t unwind. Prison or prisoner, which to be depends on just who holds the key. Are there really any locks at all, or do we simply build a wall? A wall … Continue reading →

Care

Posted on March 20, 2014 by a foolhardy florilegium

The sound of one hand clapping; the beating of the heart. The beauty of a flower; the truth of nature’s art. The cacophony of silence; those voices in our mind. The journey to the inner self; the search for what … Continue reading →

The Laughter Elf

Posted on March 8, 2014 by a foolhardy florilegium

Sometimes we laugh to hide our fear, sometimes we laugh when joy is near, sometimes we laugh to hide our pain, sometimes we laugh with tears like rain. All laughter’s not frivolity, it doesn’t sanction what we see. It can … Continue reading →

Responsibility

Posted on March 7, 2014 by a foolhardy florilegium

We’ll rise from the ashes of wars unfought and learn from the lessons never taught. We’ll strive for a future that’s not foretold where no heart or mind is bought or sold. Then we’ll walk on a path so long … Continue reading →

Her Love

Posted on February 21, 2014 by a foolhardy florilegium

The greatest beauty in my heart is the wisdom that is Gaia’s art. But next to that what I adore is simple ‘love’ who could want more? The sweet caress of just one kiss can fill my heart with eternal … Continue reading →

Destiny’s Crime

Posted on February 18, 2014 by a foolhardy florilegium

Life in the slow lane – it’s all going too fast; it no sooner gets here than somehow it’s past. The tempest continues forcing life to fly high; a slow motion movie as life hurtles by. Life in the slow … Continue reading →

Climbing’s Music

Posted on February 5, 2014 by a foolhardy florilegium

Muscle, sinew, bone and soul; the music that can keep me whole pulses through from rock to heart. The music of the climbing art. Muscle, sinew, bone all strain; this energy is what I gain. The power that I am … Continue reading →

War?

Posted on January 25, 2014 by a foolhardy florilegium

I’d love a world that lives in peace; these constant battles never cease. War fills our world most every day; can’t we just find another way? Time and again we find a cause to carry on our “Righteous Wars.” We … Continue reading →
