It is the most selfish gene
The one that make us distinguishable
Our uniqueness and special abilities
We owe it all to its infinite mutations

It is the most abundant and the most taken for granted,
Paradoxically, it can be...

I remove my glasses to blur my view, 
of my disgraceful face, that’s painted a strange hue.
Reality peers back at me, from the bottomless
shallow mirror, 

My self peers back at me, 
with disbelief, regret and...

Pick Yourself Up – Dust Yourself Down

Is there a glimmer of hope in this convoluted soup
Is there a sign that all is not such a cock-a-hoop?
I came in here with blind hope and faith
And sit...

The need to escape is truly vast
Usually from memories of the past
Or a hungry need to get away
From harsh happenings of today

It's not so hard to make that choice
When heart pain smothers your silent voice
Others...

Line of inquiry:
“We have been here a thousand times before
Memory erased, each time we begin anew
Of hands held tenderly, we’ve lost the score
Each embrace virgin like fresh morning dew 
 
To which image, oh dear...

Meditation in quietude, cognition spherical instils
Transcending  limitations of time, space, power, knowledge, will
Oh hermit, in the void of polarity interchange, be still

Resting all thought in void of cessation
Imbibing by soft...

Earth life struggle, soul choice made by free will
Facing turbid winds, inhospitable 
Challenges shapen us, upon the anvil
Until love enabled, consciousness stable

With clear light veiled, in this form we stumble 
Weary from suffering, that makes...

WHAT MOTIVATES ME

What helps me to grow
What keeps me sane and energised 
Feels, whoever is closer to my heart
Propels  me to the fore.

Remarkably, my near and dear ones and bountiful nature
Inspires to pursue my...

The way the sunshine dangles from her smile,
The sways in the lines of her silhouette
And her story of heartbreak shaping her voice
Caused by the past villains met.

She leaps free and fierce
And is no longer afraid
For...

melding with the void, surrendering will
presence forges with love, an alliance 
divine magnetic currents, bliss instils

our mind body encounters turbulence
yet cave of...

Alone I sit
staring at the cold grey sky
All around
winter's handiwork
so silent
so beautiful 
fills the land

Drifting lazily upwards
pillars of smoke
rise ghost-like 
from the chimneys
On the ground below
the freshly fallen snow 
so quiet, so fragile
instils deep peace...

As my sunset soul dips into the ocean,
The moon rises with an eerie glow,
The darkness has a scary notion
Of its own.

As white hues turn to violet,
Then scarlet and to orange,
As cool wind starts to blow,
Ripen...

Whenever
I need to stay away
for just the shortest time
The feeling of loss pervades my soul
so essential are you to my psyche
When waking at dawn
you fill me with awe
your ever changing splendour
truly takes my breath away...

Upon earth facing adversity
as we are shaped upon the anvil
oblivious to our innate pulse of divinity
we strive and struggle surrendering not will
causing disequilibrium of our serenity 
until love divine in heart instils 
throb of bliss...

Just as I laughed, I cried

Just as I Thought, I lied,

Buried alive my emotions, I dried.

 

Just as I found myself, I again disappear,

Just as I geared up to fight, I got clear,

I am so...

My muse 
By Michelle Morris 
02/10/2021 

My muse wants to play.
She's tired of waiting patiently. 
So many days I've been working;
No time to enjoy writing freely. 

My muse enjoys the dance;
The rhythm of what we...

caught by the day,a one-off,’ as is’ moment,
images in sound.My voice spoken, a unique
sigh ‘twixt you and I.

Listen!
You will hear
So vicious
Instils fear
Extremely devious
As it appears 
Yet so mysterious
As it disappears 
Am so curious...
Wat 'er' nation!

Look!
You will see
Trillions in seas
Humming like bees
Day and night
Marching with might
In vivid sight
Wisdom I seek
Do they speak?
Wat 'er'...
