Step :: Simple Form

So positive

And sensitive


Two sons

On consecutive days


So thankful

And mindful


Two communiques

In equally impressionable ways


So proud

And regrettable


Two families

With inconclusive stays

Simple :: Abstract Form

Lead, on paper

Thought exposed

Peace disturbed

So to bring presence


Light, from sky

Path to follow

Nothing so easy

As to bring nothing


Blossom, on tree

Soft, vulnerable

Velvet captured

Bring silk


Bring wonder

As to need nothing

Bring garments

As to take nothing

Simple :: Simple Form

There is sunlight and blossom

As there was yesterday also

There is work, in progress

As there must also be tomorrow


The body fluctuates, hitherto

As does the mind

Yet the process of writing

Brings peace, with a sprig of joy


Even to write of love

Present love and past love

Words settle the soul

Within is as it is without

Transportation :: Abstract Form

Seek out

Stillness, so so quiet

A place to rest

Where minds

Might jest in play


Seek out

Air, falling water

A solstice of life

Where strife

Might wish to meet you


Seek out

The little differences

Movements of waveforms

Where the faster beats

Might storm your velocity

Transportation :: Simple Form

I walked by a river

I hoped to see a narrowboat

It was wide water

With a ten-mile bank

Beside a busy road


I thought it would be pleasant

To drift through sparkling waves

It could be our best present

For me and you

In our quieter days


I hear the warm wind blowing

From Cold Harbour Farm

Across the railroad tracks

I hear the train then going

Turn to see who have turned their backs
