Short Rock Steady Poems

Perfectly formed in a challenging terrain,
low and squat they lie and ever-ready
to shrug off Hebridean wind and rain
with weathered roofs and walls rock-steady.
In days of yore, a refuge from the storm,
now picturesque, and just a bit forlorn....

Love, a fleeting feeling
Love, rock steady and secure
Love, unleashes hurt and pain
Love, heals one's whole domain
Love, perhaps a coincidence
Love, definitely a decision
Love, at worst, a biochemical reaction
Love, at best, a wholly divine collision...

Revelations,

intimating sanctions,

sailing you to make-shifts,

assailing with blank lips-

I rock Hetty,
while she make's a day-list,

I'm rock steady,
but she's having her hanky tins.

We both have a family-
they all have flailing limbs,

why can't we get along on a train we ask?

But soon lose to space ships...

spreading peace love and unity
from its roots in Jamaica
to each and every community,
 
this is reggae music
the type of music that lifts your spirits 
the type of music that makes you want to smile
every time you feel it,

So With the heart of a lion
stay for ever ready, 
Ready to move to a beat 
so sweet and rock steady, 
a beat sending out it’s  good vibes 
to each and everybody....

A Man’s Strong Legs
Goes where He wants to Go
He can Kick Aside The Problems
And Stomp ‘em Down, so they Don’t Follow

He can Pick His Stride
So, He can Win His Race
… a Slow and Even Gait
… or Pick Up The Pace …

He can Stand – Rock-Solid
Or like A Boat – Rock-Steady
… and Boy… if He Jumps ! …
… Everybody, Better Get Ready !

Yes … A Man’s Strong Legs
Can Walk or Run True
All I Ask, Boy …
… is Take Me With You !...

Awesome absolute of childhood exaltation - 
Balloons embed dear youthful memories within. 
Fascinating, joyful, colourful inflation, 
Promise rock steady future on a thread, so thin. 
Symbols of free and careless years of Truth or Dare, 
As marvellous in hand as magic in the air. 

Balloons epitomize a pristine paradigm - 
Short stretch when we believe in "once upon a time".

FINDING   GOD   


Like naughty kids return to mother’s love  -
One moment without it they are in desperate sway;
Like divers finding air is good to breathe above  -
If we forget, it doesn’t mean it goes away.

In our soul’s darkness we seek something
Which already surrounds, is always rock steady.
God is everywhere, permeates our being -
How could God not be here already?

We seek not God, but the way out of our darkness 
To find again that God is loving kindness....
