Be There

Ash is the hardest tree

And to return the cruellest track

Yet both are in the realm

Of those beautiful days

When the blue skies

And the gentle breeze

Take their turns to play

Available at Amazon

Simpler

The questions that I ask

Which no one answers

With a yes or a no

Yet they espouse

The pathway to their house

Or their door

But green is the colour

That I seek

Not stop, nor wait, but go

Available at Amazon

Step

I go there

I go there

I end there

I end there with you

I smile

I laugh

Also I cry

I end there with you

I had to be alone

Life was too too intrusive

But I like your picture

I always go there with you

Available at Amazon

Bedroom Reflections

A sink

With a mirror

Another mirror

For make up

One wall of wardrobes

One with a full length mirror

A bay window

To one side of the bed

A Mark Rothko print

On the opposite wall

Above the king-size double bed

A row of cupboards

All of this for certainty

Among the uncertainty

Available at Amazon

Feeling

Outcast

I have cast myself out

And I am slowly forgetting

How to reopen the door

Bitterness

Helps me to be bitter

Humour

Helps me to smile

Happiness

Follows swiftly

As I sit, secure

In my meditation chair
