A Glimpse Of Eternity

when we allow time to stop, a glimpse of eternity will appear.

A Place Of Sanity Sought

When the mind stops, blank without thought,
It goes to a place of sanity sought.
For sanity is to chaos’ distain,
That place where silence and calm are gain.

It’s from this place of quiet and calm,
That peace can bring a healing balm.
As soothing as a soft cool breeze,
This time of peace will surely please.

It’s here when lavished in

each dew bead holds morning light--

The Blade in the Garden

I found a blade beside the rose,
its silver kissed by morning’s close;
It caught the sun as if to keep
the fire warm while earth still sleeps.

It did not stir when I drew near,
nor tremble with a hint of fear;
It seemed to watch, in patient grace,
the wind that touched its polished face.

A vine had curled around its

Silence Is Beautiful

They say stillness is absence, an empty space between worth noting,
but I have heard its melodies in the pre-dawn chapel where stillness reigned
and still the walls exhaled calm.

I have found stillness and not loneliness---
but in two

The Calm Before The Storm

dark clouds are forming
     a smell of rain in the air
calm before the storm

KEEP CALM AND CARRY THE CORPSE

KEEP CALM AND CARRY THE CORPSE

Britain bleeds through cracked red bricks,
Rain on windows, cold that sticks.
Bills climb high, wages crawl,
We’re taxed to the teeth — can’t breathe at all.



“Keep calm and carry the corpse,” they say.
Drag it through life, day after day.
Smile for the cameras, wave the flag,
Ignore the stench in the body bag.

The Anvil of Stillness

They shout for a piece of my mind—
I offer the quiet, forged and cool,
Not shrapnel, not wildfire, not the grind
Of teeth on bone, but a deeper tool:
A breath that holds when the structure sways,
A root that grips when the landslide calls.
Peace isn’t the absence of the blaze,
But the choosing of water when fury sprawls.

Floating

Minor signs of anxiety
Sunk in the glass of lemon water
In the panic of the present time
Life flows in a calm stream
Along the damp walls of low storey buildings
My boat floats to nowhere
Under the arches of old bridges
Voices distorted by echoes ring out
What they say, what they are silent about
Is unimportant for I can't hear
I float

Peace of mind

I still my thoughts
until they're like the surface of a lake
gentle ripples soothing to the soul

I then invite a setting sun
to adorn this calmness
so it may linger on through the night

Calm Ocean of Mind

A wide, flat horizon expands without end,
A glass-like level mirrors the sky to blend;
Soft shimmers of light jitter on the water,
Tender waves roll in the sea blue in color.

Rhythmic lapping of water against the shore,
Distant songs of seabirds that I can't ignore;
A soothing hush like nature's whispering sigh
Delivers mild voice that I cannot deny.

A cool,
