Legacy

Posted on March 13, 2023 by a foolhardy florilegium

There’s so much loss, so little gain; I look around sweet Gaia’s pain. I see each day more land on fire; We dance around her funeral pyre. Each day there’s less that’s left behind; What will we leave for our … Continue reading →

The Unwanted Child

Posted on January 18, 2023 by a foolhardy florilegium

I knew him once, the unwanted child. At times he went a little wild; his life, it often went awry with thoughts so often in the sky. Missteps he made what e’er he tried; sometimes he stole sometimes he lied. … Continue reading →

The Call

Posted on December 6, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

The truth is there, she said quite clear; the Spirit folk are always near. To simply hold to Gaia’s creed can help this world so much in need. So stand strong now in times of hate; stand simply but accept … Continue reading →

Time

Posted on December 4, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

There comes a time I hear them say paying the Piper’s the only way humanity can move at last from this cage that holds us fast; this cage we’ve built to self-contain our lives in this place of constant pain. … Continue reading →

The Winds

Posted on October 27, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

The winds of change are blowin’, they rage across the land; the winds of change are blowin’, as they move time’s own sand. The future is now coming, the past’s left far behind; tomorrow is another day, I wonder what … Continue reading →

On War

Posted on October 9, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

Still we fight like cats and dogs till ‘victory’ we secure before walking over corpses all sanctimonious and pure. Hold out a hand in friendship and that they’ll quickly spurn but give an excuse for war and it’s “burn baby … Continue reading →

The Gift

Posted on October 9, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

I see a world of wonder corrupted by us folk; I see what we’ve created and wish it was a joke. But deep inside I see some sinister intent; a world somehow determined to go against what’s meant. I think … Continue reading →

Oh Dear, That’s a Shame!

Posted on October 9, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

I sit, at times and wonder, just what this is all about; with all the ‘wisdom’ in the world we forget what it’s about. We whine about destruction and do more every day. We say we want a world at … Continue reading →

Life

Posted on September 4, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

We stand alone within the crowd, The silent chatter always loud. We look so far but never see The wonder that is you and me And so I wonder why we’re here; This world of ours, so full of fear.

When the lights go out

Posted on August 23, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

When the lights go out forever, On one of us and all; What will we do upon that day When society does fall? Will we cower in the darkness, Or follow some new light? Will we huddle round small fires … Continue reading →

Faces on the street

Posted on August 23, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

Looking in the eyes of the faces on the street I see the depth of loneliness in hearts who cannot meet. We cannot greet a stranger, so stranger they will stay; We cannot greet a stranger – that’s not societies … Continue reading →

It comes

Posted on July 4, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

It comes to us soon – the end we seek. It comes to us soon – the time of the meek. It comes to us soon – the end of all. It comes to us soon – that brick in … Continue reading →

The Truth of War

Posted on July 4, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

Not much left;  society undone. Not much left; but who has won. Not much left; do we really care. Not much left; is there anywhere? Not much left; society crumbles. Not much left; humanity humbles. Not much left; so much … Continue reading →

The Child

Posted on July 2, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

Why do we grow older and lose our way? No more to remember the child at play and those who do we label insane;  to us they are societies bane. We live in our fear we live in our pride; … Continue reading →

Trees

Posted on June 25, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

Trees wander past the truth of Gaia awaiting still their death by fire. That fire that is death and birth, that is the trees one true worth. For us, it warms us – heart and soul without it’s warmth we’d … Continue reading →
