Premium Member Mad About Towns
When we set out on a road trip
We didn’t stick to the old script
And were gladly amazed
And rarely unfazed
Hitting strange towns though some were skipped

We started from Thatsnot, OK
Which was more or less ok
But then stayed for the view
When we drove into
The town of Overlo,...

Shadows and Light
I'd rather be the moonlight and stare at the sea all day, 
then come morning, by the sunlight, like a shadow be chased away.

I would rather be the sunlight and dance all day on the sea,
then come morning, by the dawn's light, as a shadow...

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted,
as lava flowed over its cauldron!
                          The quiescent

All Actions Have Consequences
All Actions Have Consequences

I make things only to destroy them
To build them up again
Repeat the action

A point in one direction, like a mirror, points back at you
To that end
A reflection on what once was

Looking up
Indications are
The swirl of stars
Other unknowns
Out there
In larger part
At their own...

The Forgiveness of Others
Warm, sticky hands palm off dry, self-centred ground,
Touched by gingerly acclaiming seeds of new-borns: 
Ready, willing and eager for the harsh, expecting role, 
Supposedly not with any crudeness, brashness or horns; 
As we sit in it, my tears embrace his spritely youth, 
And I ask...

Gift of Mortality
An earthly existence
A universe beyond my minds, comprehension
I die
I rise
Life lessons reviewed
Homeward bound
I am not lost, after all!
I am a willing participant
Serving, the Father, of all creation
His son combined, ‘producing life’ as we know it
Representing them, in everything I do
I am nothing, without Love!
My heart...

Premium Member Nothing Is Permanent
Nothing is permanent 


Baby to Toddler,
Toddler to Child,
Child to Adolescence,
Adolescence to Adult,
Old age then death.
Appearance vanishes,
No permanency in-
the growth of human.



Nature is there,
It’s destruction acts,
Change features.
New features,
New growth.
It’s appearance exists,
Permanency expires.


Happiness, Sadness,
Failures, success,
Never last long.
It’s like illusion. 
It teaches,
Nothing is born-
to stay for ever.
Be calm...

The Incapacity That Can Shape a Shattered Heart
Every life has courage
Every life can see the light
Every life can see the truth 
Every life is a priceless piece

Every day can be trailblazing
Everyday dialect has an exact mannerism
Every day has clues that suggest steadiness 
Every day has prolific languages 

Everything brought you here
Everything implies...

In the Quiet He Sleeps
Darkness abides save flickering candle light
Illuminating his silhouette of masculinity 
exhaustion renders an end tonight
Supplanting all previous antiquity  

In the quiet he sleeps 
Leaning close to steal his breath 
As the wanting piques 
With the rise and fall of his chest

My lips fall slightly...

Edinburgh
Muscularity slowly flexing with a calling permanency, 
Permission without clicking that the doorstop’s gone, 
Inherent hardiness springs you into moderation,
And the Castle’s protective rock scatters criminalisation bon. 

Lighter shade of grey without looking aside, 
Whilst the age’s statues beg for what’s in your mind, 
Tidier...

Building a Better Box
Building a Better Box

To build a better box to store more things
Full of history, memory and other rusted stuff
Tools will have to cut and kill the trees
Trees will have to die and change their shape
Hinges made of metal will forever seal their fate
Nailed down, shut...

Her Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis: a word for butterflies,
Said the science textbook in school,
Positive transformations connoted her young soul.
Age brought in a new realisation,
Life, a one-way road with two destinies,
The darker one a metamorphosis too.

The endlessly bleak days,
Dwindling success,
Slipping confidence,
Broken dreams,
The road to change now a narrow old bridge,
Fragile...

Not all of my family and friends that grew up there would AGREE. They remember all the pleasantries and being happy and FREE. This tale regards  
the place where I was born and once ROAMED. Let it be known that this is my personal...

What Is True?
What is true up above the sky blue?
The deserts and oceans?
The fountains and mountains?
The fields and vegetation or greenery?
The orchards or forestry?
The temples, factories, buildings and establishments
The firms and developments.
Nothing exists permanently and forever,
The wheels of momentariness rotates all over.
The transformation, changes creation,
But itself it...

Premium Member Permanent Sanctuary School
I came to AllSouls
looking for permanent sanctuary.

Sanctuary,
not only from a Rumpian absence of 
civility
and non-violent trust
and integrity
and compassion,
but also pro-actively for an orthodox health eco-school 
for learning to secure these passioned gifts
through cooperative
pro-active
co-arising practice.

A permanently green sanctuary for integrity
is asking too improbably much
from some,
like myself,
so...
