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 →

Dreams

Posted on February 28, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

To walk beside a mountain stream This is the life of which I dream. To lay and watch the stars go by Is what I’d do when I do die. To love my life as time goes by; Enough to … Continue reading →

No Other Way

Posted on February 25, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

Well, Trooper boys all blue and bright Defend the rich, defend their ‘right’. They haven’t changed since days gone by when they caused that hero Ned to die. Still they march proud with weapons cruel and treat each of us … Continue reading →

In Memoriam

Posted on February 25, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

Of heroes, I have known a few; the ones who stood where tall trees grew. The quiet ones there for us all; the ones who stood where those trees fall. Forgotten heroes full of care; the ones who stood – … Continue reading →

Teach the Children

Posted on February 8, 2022 by a foolhardy florilegium

It’s time to teach the children truth, before the corruption that is youth grows in victory in their Soul assuring us they’ll never be whole. To sit beside a stream so clear and hear the answer to any fear. To … Continue reading →

How Long?

Posted on March 7, 2021 by a foolhardy florilegium

How long do we stand in a system that’s failed? How long do we wait for a boat that’ has sailed? We stand at the edge of a precipice high; How long till we know our future will die?

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 →

The Weeping Willow

Posted on September 11, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

I miss the Willow though I know why the ecologists did make her die. Not a native, she choked our streams; so though the tree of the poets dreams all thought of her removed from sight in the war for … Continue reading →

Bigotry

Posted on June 8, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

When bigotry does rise what part of us then dies? Much Spirit becomes lost; that is the final cost. Our wisdom of the past in ‘progress’ fire we cast for our ‘truth’ so unreal; the coin in which we deal. … Continue reading →

The end is nigh

Posted on June 1, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

“The end is nigh” I hear them say while our world crumbles day by day and those who profit from the fall, we let them rule; they make the call. The instrument of our own demise; it’s us who listen … Continue reading →

By The Sea

Posted on March 15, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

I wander long beside the sea; the gentleness of waves. I wonder what their message is; mayhaps it’s one that saves. Or is it simply splish and splash; a never-ending-tale of water here before the start and which will never … Continue reading →

Our Bequest

Posted on February 3, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

To our children this is our bequest; this land from which we’ve torn the best. Be grateful for what you now receive; do not look at this mess and grieve For we don’t know the meaning of care and so … Continue reading →

Humanity can go to Hell

Posted on January 5, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

So many worlds now linger awaiting the licking finger. The doom and death of fire; my land’s a funeral pyre. So many refused to hear the call of Gaia – faint but clear. Now She shakes away her pain caused … Continue reading →

Awaken

Posted on December 4, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

“Awaken from your slumber!” she screamed into my mind; awaken from your slumber and see what you will find.” It seemed like an eternity since I had seen this land and the future that I now saw was not what … Continue reading →
