i will forgive you one thing

i will forgive you one thing

if that one thing is god

which as a firm non-believer

is the ultimate sacrifice

to wake

to wake

on the canal boat

beside your lover

with your son

in the next room

to sit together

on the deck

in the ethereal glade

where the morning dew

echoes the lack of disturbance

Available at Amazon

on the cusp of understanding

on the cusp of understanding

where one line ends

and another begins

where becoming settled

is the very time for conclusion

yet tomorrow as today

the process

will be separated

exploring caverns in the darkness

always to find a light

as if

even without questions answered

a peaceful resting place

may evolve

as a psychological reconstruction

Available at Amazon

just at that very moment

just at that very moment

as the end bell rings

i have everything in its place

all is settled

the once turbulent waters are still

yet of course

there is more to be worried about

each detail will

turn over or introduce

a further detail

and so life will go on

also dreams and meditations

where the working out

has its own methods

as well as its own motivations

Available at Amazon

how?

how?

all by coincidence

or mostly

years later

the amazement

rises to the surface

streets

requiring

aeroplane travel

jobs

chancing ones arm

day by day

and love

there in continuum

going up and down
