Lunar dreams
On a barren landscape.

Have I lived
For so long
Only to die
Of old age,
Alone in an empty house.

Like a conspiracy of blue
Follows me around all day...

Of a train
P a s s i n g

Thunders into the night.

Even
For me
The ugly toad
Kissed by a beautiful princess
Is a fairy tale ending.

Transient light
Vestiges of sky
Burning night.

To remind me
Of past sorrows,
The plaintive cry of a curlew
In the distance.

Fell from a tree
And struck Newton
On the head,
Now we understand gravity.

Plumb
Dead-center
In the heart of the city
A silver spire
Pointing to the heavens.

Conditioned
To think this way
I see the world
In black and white
No shades of grey.

A war veteran
Who fought bravely
For his country
The lonely old man
Who lives next door.

Nailed to the cross
He suffered and died
For the sins
Of this world,
Christ, the Son of God.

Open-top convertible
Zooming along
Highway 61
Dylan on the radio
Chasing the American Dream.

Fortified with vitamins
And iron
Essential amino acids
And omega 3,
I venture into work.

An old
Black and white dog
Lies on the floor
At my feet,
Content, how soundly he sleeps.

Autumn
Fallen leaves
Brown and golden
On the bare green earth,
Purged of summer's excess.

Little robin
Outside my window
Sprightly hopping
Along the hedgerow
Red breast in the snow.

Urban sprawl
The neon-bright skyline
Towers over
The sleeping city,
Metropolis in full bloom.

Even the flowers
On the table
At my bedside
Are wilting and dying,
This cold autumn night.

After reading
The proverbs of Solomon
I carry the light
Of ancient wisdom
Into a dark world.
