Too many times of parting

Void, devoid of direction
Not even a misconception
Vacuous universes galore

Lay in that churchyard there
Summer Sunday afternoon
Heartache, charting scores

Starting over
Again restarting
All spent; to spend yet more

Zoo Zombie

Just avoid the hurt
Pain held at bay
A zombie for a day
Days & nights to flirt

Hollow Score

All that went before
Is gone
Gone before

Creation crept along
Slipped the sand
From beneath the core

Chapel and church
All that went before
Is gone before

Familiarity swept along
A carpet ride
Over an hollow floor

Mother and Father
All that went before
Gone; is gone before

Gliding

Swell
Over golden pond
Into the mist covered mountains
Footprints finding sanctuary

Almost colliding over water
Gulls wings, open and striding
Slip sliding away
As golden waves ebb and flow

Cosmos

A thousand million
Sparkling tinkling
Waltzing spirits

A never ending chorus
Of pebbles and waves

The zephyr’s blow
Over the Dolomites
Travel with softness

Glide with certainty, my
Migration has also begun

Freshwater havens
Islands of great lakes
Our futures forsaken

Cotton wool clouds
Around sky blue skies

Surrounded by silver tints
Above, a thousand million
Maybe a billion

Sparkling tinkling
Star bright illuminations
