Elements

Water flows over a stone
Love sails onto the ocean

From ocean to stone
From stone to ocean

Love is our soul’s commandment
Water is our self’s enchantment

Church Plaque

John Henry Vessey
Was not slothful in business
And his soul is laid to rest
And his body waits for the sunrise

John Henry
John Henry
Soul laid to rest
Body waiting for the sunrise

And they sing their songs
And they tell their stories
And we fill their coffee cups
And we eat their chocolate biscuits

John Henry
John Henry
Soul laid to rest
Body waiting for the sunrise

John Henry Vessey
Was not slothful in business
And his soul is laid to rest
And his body waits for the sunrise

C & C

A long way from
Cold comfort farm
It is too cold for comfort

Sat at a non wiped table
In a converted aluminium barn
I feel too old for comfort

Twin-Heads

Only by leaving
Through a door
Down a path
Into a big wide world

Only by action
More than breathing
More than thinking
Yes, by actually doing

Only by stopping
Slowly, and so surely, observing

Only by waiting
For the light, and the shadow

Remembering midnight
Church moths in the headlights
Remembering afternoon poems
Butterflies in the garden

Said

I left that place
Where I was alone
To move to a new place
Where I am alone

One place had loneliness
One place had peace

Still I search for both
When I am alone
