Unprison your heart
From invisible chains by
Opening the lock
That restrains and oppresses
You as an unseen fortress
Nayda Ivette
1-7-2016
Winter snow oppresses stark branches
as the last of autumn deciduousness
slips silently to the ground.
Thud!
Snowflakes spring into life
like summer dandelions frolicking in the biting cold-
There at the heart of the frozen world lies my dog,
grinning.
Better To Live An Honest Life Of A Hermit,
Than An Opulent Life of A Very Selfish, Greedy Fool,
Who steals from and Oppresses the Poor,
Better To admits that you are out for Nought in cricket when you know
That you edged the ball behind t the Keeper,
That to bat on and score 100.
Better to be Honest and lose,
Than to be dishonest and win.
Startled awake to ideas
of missions to be fulfilled urgently.
Plans prickle in my veins.
Eager, I jump, awakened. Mind runs
fast trains, I can’t keep up.
Looking down on this I see a
dizzy whirlwind of colour and shapes.
The trains will run until they burn out in fires aflame.
We’re unsure where to place the blame.
God oppresses reproach.
Though it’s man who makes war
And who murders his kind,
Who oppresses and rapes and enslaves,
The question of guilt’s not so clearly defined
As the dead wash ashore with the waves;
And I’m cold and I’m weary and worn to the core
As I struggle to search for the light,
And I think to myself as the waters recede,
Maybe God needs forgiveness tonight.
When the gray city oppresses me
when the sounds of traffic
and shouting people intrude,
when it all seems to close in....
I drift back to the ocean in my mind
where beams of sunlight
glimmer through liquid crystal
where giant kelp bows in the current
and a rainbow of fish gather to hunt and play
I too belong in the amber forest;
for there the infinite aqua mirrors my soul.
