was on television
pointing out that the 
singularity

Existed 
with no beginning
and no end

The bible say's
God existed 
with no beginning

and no end
he said 
the universe 

began
13.5 million
years ago

perhaps with the big bang theory
the singularity exploding...

‘If not for you ‘Bri' I might have hated all men'
Sobering words my ‘little sis' said to me, 
But just where it happened, or even when, 
Is a window through which I can't see.

Mother's womb panged to be delivered.
A rift awakened, once asleep in roost,
but 4alarm crowing on steeples of burning roofs,
the foundations gone missing, on sabbatical 
crowning of burning man both in and not in the news.

Inside the Volcano there are hidden cracks,
where no one can see or knows anything about.
They're the cracks where all the ' Garbage ' is .
The garbage grows, grows, expands, and expands
through all the days and...

Go play in the sandpit was the call from my Mother,
Whenever I was bored.
My first teacher then took over from my Mother,
In repeating those same words of Wisdom.
Thankfully the words had sunk in by the...

to plunder and pulverize a Peoples' promise to Deity,

I can not help but wonder
When God created the earth
How did He think of all the things
It takes to make it work

I know God is God
And He knows all things
But the things I've been a...

Somethings are a slow burn 
Somethings fade slowly overtime 
Somethings burst like a repressed volcano 
And somethings drag the match across the skin 
Until a map of our intrusive thoughts are written 

Pressing my luck...

I was not thirty yet, and it was fall.
My wife and I were touring in Japan
While on our summer break from teaching school.
Our luck, our parents lived to grow us tall,
And modeled health and art...

Let me tell you a story of Nature
and my early morning walks in the
desert. The fragrance of cactus blossoms
and the starkness of its beauty beckon.

Or, is it the silence, like no other, interrupted
only by the...

When threat, doubt or danger treacherously
loomed over me, I felt the despicable
untruthfulness of most friends
whose mouths were volcanos 
erupting, destroying what I had built:
that stronghold of trust towering
over them when their trustworthiness
would have gladden me....

No one will remember 
all the names of the bodies
laying in pools of blood 
in all those back alleys
and side streets
burned out warehouses
and by-the-hour motels…
They don’t talk about them…
Cause their lives don’t matter…

All those bodies...

Your chase!
Reminiscing on the oceans I had to dry up
and the volcanos I had to ice up
just to capture the epicenter of your heart
well protected by strong canines
of your carnivorous standards.

Hanging with the clouds of...

Looking ’round it is sad to say,
we who think that we’re so advanced,
that cults are growing everywhere,
it’s really getting out of hand.
They make people think insane things,
out of touch with reality,
leave them unfit to face...

My bones are now the softest porcelain and my back is bent the wrong way
The eclipse of age has turned my black mane grey and the gaps...

On my trip across the land
I could only marvel at the gifts from God's hand,
He entrusted them to man
This once perfect virgin land.

What I saw made me cry
For Perfection was no longer nigh
The rolling hills...

Shall I confess to thee 
O world,
Of how the fruit of youth,
As it was handed over to me
By those skies watching over us all
Ever so silently
Turned all rotten and soggy
At the exact same moment

blemished sky erupts
a waterfall... a  river
the cormorant dived

the mile high eagle
hunting... not gone unnoticed
meercats wary

heavy rain... torrents
one litre... one kilo...

wildflower meadow
trampled... flattened by children
educate them now

Our wonderful planet, for millions of years,
was never this inspiring and beautiful...
until God with His skilful, perfect hands
beautified it for the first human couple.


I dispise the whipping wind, somewhat michevious and insolent,

The splendour of each season
Fill our souls with awe to recall
The splendour of Nature.

Perfect in every way,
Each season is unique

Under pressure from thermonuclear devices
Or at CERN when the hadron collider gave birth to a baby black hole

Hail, O Storm Bringer
Your lightning cracks up the sky
As you roll onward

Your thunder pounds Earth
Trumpeting your arrival
Storm Charioteer

You ride the cold wind
Dark grey clouds your chariot
Winged horses flying

Torrents of cold rain 
To soak a dry,...
