Short Voyaged Poems

Young Connor he voyaged The Nile
By sailing a live crocodile
The beastie went SNAP!
And swallowed the chap!
Oh well, it was fun for a while....

As in days before the virus
We voyaged free as air
Til rulers sought to confine us
In penned and muzzled care

Now with freedom at hand
Yet with caution, unmanned
We steal out cross the land

So let’s fly once more
As in days before

29 September

I had success,power and wealth
but then
                            unrest made me its pen
Unease,dis-ease unravelled
 thoughts in my mind
                       shalom,I could not find
I searched,re-searched
voyaged I know not where
                      yet
       trust and faith  found me there
Questions ebbed
doubts flowed 'ere I made my plea

 He heard,and now I see...

The Dawn

I have voyaged far, crossed many oceans
I have seen the unseen, the grotesque.
We are cable of, but I have also met kind
people, I never sank into the abyss of cynicism.

I have seen flowers no botanist has, but I keep
it, a secret the nameless will be hidden.

I rejoice, for I have found my modest me
obliquely I was not here nor there confused.
as semi-transparent waiters passing my table
erased me from their memories....

I had success,power and wealth,but then,
                       unrest made me its pen:
Unease,dis-ease unravelled thoughts in my mind,
                       shalom,I could not find:
I searched,re-searched,voyaged I know not where,
                             trust and faith  was found there:
Questions ebbed,doubts flowed 'ere I made my plea:
                             He heard,and now I see.

Inspired by George Herbert's  double quatrain 'Hope'...
