Seeing

Posted on February 11, 2021 by a foolhardy florilegium

Dancing with shadows so often unseen,listening to voices that never have been.Walking with spirits you know are true,while prejudices past hold on like glue.These are the paths so often untrod‘cept by the ones we often call “odd”.P’raps these are places … Continue reading →

Change

Posted on December 22, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

Grown in isolation, in a petri dish of pain;we wonder why this world of ours is totally insane.We swim below the surface, beneath the world that’s real;wondering why ’tis drowning is all that we can feel.As we sink in desperation, … Continue reading →

Walking with Wildmen

Posted on December 16, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

The Horsemen

Posted on November 7, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

We stand so proud in a world gone mad;a pathetic little people who look so sad.We’ve left so little for our children’s share;and then we try to tell them we actually care.We’ve plundered the earth and still want more;we’ve torn … Continue reading →

Lies

Posted on October 21, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

So quickly we swallow the lines we are fed, hook, line and sinker;so quickly the ‘truths’ they espouse drive will out the thinker.From the words spoke so silken from the silver tongued oneto the softly veiled threats when the whole … Continue reading →

The War

Posted on October 16, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

For many years I fought a warbut never vanquished mefor every attack plan I made,there in defence I’d be.Mayhaps I should surrender;accept victory and defeat.Perhaps we can live in peaceif we let ourselves just meet.I might even start to like … Continue reading →

The One Tree

Posted on October 8, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

The One Tree withers, so soon to die; no longer its boughs to reach the sky. No more the link –  Heaven to Gaia; lost to humanities greed and fire. ‘Tis humans alone caused our demise with our loss of … Continue reading →

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 →

A Dream?

Posted on September 28, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

I fell away down to the top of the stairs to a world with no worries, a world with no cares. So I dusted myself off as I stood at the top and realised this wasn’t where I wanted to … Continue reading →

Black & White

Posted on August 14, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

In a colourless world of black and white where all things are seen as wrong or right where “I’m always right and you are wrong” is the rhythm behind almost every song. Where there is no colour, there is no … Continue reading →

So Many

Posted on July 26, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

So many years and so many lifetimes, so many forests now burned to the ground. So much of Gaia now turned into graveyards, so many places where nature did wildly abound. So many people all waving their banners. so many … Continue reading →
