The River

Posted on September 28, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

My Place

Posted on September 28, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

I saw my mind fly in the air; it landed but I don’t know where. I know it was a wondrous place with birds and trees and lots of space. ‘Twas there I felt the gentlest touch; the touch of … Continue reading →

My Chosen Path and Art

Posted on September 21, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

An offering was made to me; a prize wrapped in a lie. And if I was to accept it a part of me would cry. The choice is mine; accept with grace or simply walk on by, but what I … Continue reading →

The Lost

Posted on September 21, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Letting the Demons free

Posted on September 20, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Fear

Posted on September 19, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Fear, it is the greatest Demon now plaguing all mankind. No matter what we do or say fear follows from behind. It tears our hearts and rends our souls, it leaves a crippled heap; no matter what we say or … Continue reading →

The Company Man

Posted on September 15, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

We walk the walk and talk the talk; a language far too narrow. We slave away throughout our days to push some corporate barrow. We live life as ‘good corporate men’, whatever that may be – our Souls sold off … Continue reading →

The Play

Posted on September 15, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

My Mountaintop

Posted on September 15, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

At times I walk the lonely path no matter who’s beside me while voices I hear in my mind don’t comfort but deride me. Then even if surrounded by those people and their smiles I can find no other Spirit … Continue reading →

Beauty

Posted on September 10, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

The beauty is there every day but sometimes it just hides away; it hides from worlds that can’t believe, it hides from folk who can’t conceive of beauty with no earthy reasons; of beauty greater that the Seasons. But still … Continue reading →

Live Life

Posted on September 10, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Stick to the path, that straight narrow line; stick to the path and life will be fine. Follow ‘The Way’; the way that you’re told follow ‘The Way’; come in from the cold. Live life in boredom and never be … Continue reading →

Don’t follow the leader

Posted on September 10, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Don’t follow the leader, the bastard is mad; anywhere he goes is sure to be bad. Follow your heart; that is always true. Follow the truth; the wisdom is you!

Where in the world (a response to bible bashers)

Posted on September 10, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Where does it live now, that beauty I know? Where in the world do the wild rivers flow? Where is the place where the silence begins? For that is the place we’re forgiven our sins. Our sins are the crimes … Continue reading →

Beauty

Posted on August 29, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Today I took a Journey, if only in my mind to find a place of beauty; easy and hard to find. I looked out at the people all rushing to and fro with no destination; with nowhere real to go. … Continue reading →

Where?

Posted on August 19, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

It’s all in your mind if you’re sane or insane. You’re hard as wood if it goes against the grain. It’s mostly in your mind that you feel the pain. Most of our lives we pour just down the drain. … Continue reading →
