The Water of Life
O to bathe in some clear, crystal water
That would wash me as white as the snow!
Every blemish, disease, and disorder,
In its pureness would all have to go.
I would learn to relax in its stillness;
To its movements I'd learn to give in.
In its flow would be perfect contentment,
Far removed from commotion and din.
I would dive in

Be Still
Be Still
Be still it says
Be still it says
Commandment
Clear and plain
But how in a busy world
Can I be still
Just like God says?
With things to do
In every place
And folk to meet
And always more
A whirlwind race
No end in sight
No time to stop
And nothing do
Be still and rush no more.
Command is there
I can’t deny
So help me, God,
To

Peace is in Pieces
Peace is in pieces everywhere
like glass teeth in a child’s mouth,
like frostbitten prayers in a trench,
like treaties signed in blood
then buried beneath pipelines.
Peace is in pieces everywhere
used to build a mosaic of mouths
used to patch the silence between sirens,
like a hymn humming through bullet holes
then pressed into seams of alliteration.
Peace is in pieces everywhere
we gather

Morning Unfolds
A soft wind lifts the curtains.
light spills across the wooden floor.
dust spirals in lazy circles
and the quiet hum of the house
feels like a gentle heartbeat.
I step outside
the earth smells of wet grass and stone.
a bird’s song cuts through the stillness
small, specific, lively
and i bear in mind I belong here.
The sun melts my skin
the world extended,

In The Morning
(Lily, Lada and Pema, 2025)
In The Morning
In the morning I sit
Coffee cup in hand
Dogs nestled in on either side
Feeling like a bump on a log
With no desire to do anything
To disturb the peace of the moment.
Inside my thoughts are a gentle cascade
All the dream images of the night before
Like pieces of several different puzzles
Jumbled all

Red white and blue'
May peace reign under these three colours?

allied flags showing the whole world'
The same three colours, that saw us all through'
Here i invoke Christian values and vision.'
That have endured..Where these banners flew
True...As no traitor to freedom.' I lift the colours
Up too.! I stand for liberty and freedom..Now
Now what say

ON AIDING AND ABETTING WAR
ON AIDING AND ABETTING WAR
(A Perceived 5-7-5 Perspective)
Children begged for food,
They gave them bullets of death:
Starvation aided:-
Murdering children,
Is sanctioned in times of war:
Even by parents!?
Being quiet is
Aiding and abetting war:
Let’s get to screaming!

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

Redeemer
He found me broken, restless.
He found me dirty, not worthy, fading with every given day.
He found me through the dark, cold fog in depths of despair.
Ground that was once soil, now filled with mud from years of unceasing rain.
Kneeling down on one knee, He took my face in His hands and
