Poem
He walks the shore and gathers drift wood for a creaky beach hut shelter

Builds a future and modest abode pegs his aspirations and dreams into the sand

Crusted planks weave an intricate roof over content surrender and anchor

The composite walls thin enough to break free from conventional hardship

Intricate sea shells and luminous star fish dangle from a crooked leaky ceiling


‘Ever’ lies in the moment as the moon turns tides flooding time’s impermanence

‘Nowhere’ found its home in the ‘now when’ as Chronos and Kairos float by


His beard is wind-blown and the long hair matted nourished from tear drops

Where the salt has arrested the Self to become penultimate freedom in passing

Some think he is an outcast but inside the mould casts quest’s independence

Free of greed and destruction he feeds on passion love reflection and breeze


He does not know where he will be when winter frost covers the shore

Maybe the ocean will have taken him into another chapter of his humble life

Tim does not fancy a homeless abode nor mere existence in a nursing home

Somewhere new waters might bring him a crutch or a float to survive

All he knows is that if seagulls gather to pick his eyes heart and grey matter

A colourful life with meaning and soul will have fed breaths of knowledge


His angle on life would have conquered unworthy battles without mortal wars

He lives for the day and the day lives for him untainted by greed and dishonesty

No skeletons in the wardrobe or cupboard for he owns only one robe and one cup


Every so often some kids listen to his story at the threshold of his hovel that is if

So-called adults will allow their offspring to come near to his unworldly world

Little do they know that his tales may bear fruit and open a page for their path

Their parents would want them to be lawyers or doctors carpenters or priests

But an anecdote here or there from the poet’s soul might help them to survive
