Murk :: Simple Form

Faint outlines

Fainter horizons

Flickering stillness

Absent slowness

Of a weekend morning


Brighter skies

Clearer lies

Over the ridge of trees

In the foreground

Five Silver Birch

Step :: Abstract Form

Half of love

Half of brothers

Half of maybe

And their mothers


One of north

One of south

One of always

Hand to mouth


Two of truth

Two of lies

Two of noise

And lonesome cries


Three of birth

Three of rites

Three of time

To fly their kites

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
