On Terra Firma In ITQ
The ocean's a drum fault and sheer; to me, breakout from dark, this sphere, that the sunk water lapsing veers — hours of footprints away from here, Missing this density timeless with each sanddollar I will wreck, for today I'm also in shreds — in the foam, this form, it lays death. Like as the deep deep, her I love, and I...

Terra Firma David J Walker I How big a place must Eden be Its borders unknown Its politics not on display Its laws kept by passing clouds Each from the lips of whispered scripture The peacock's song can be heard Under the canopy of a transplanted forest Of oak and birch where the Cock will remain as long as the Hen is...

When both my feet don’t touch the ground Lightheadedness proves overwhelming Turbulent thoughts going while coming They swirl about me round and round Cloaked in black a moonless night The howling dreadful spiteful wind prevails Spellbound drags me over hills and vales Like a ragdoll in the midst of a bullfight Trails of lingering spirit ghouls Hover over murky haze of mistiness Harassing in dark...

Terra Firma
Back on terra firma. Solid ground beneath my feet. Self confidence returned. No longer inept. Back on terra firma. And Daddy's little girl. Wise-cracking ball breaker. Tongue lash ready to unfurl. Back on terra firma. Step back and let me pass. I'm in a hurry to catch up. With my past, at last. Back on terra firma. Confidently supreme. Blessed with so many talents. It makes me want to scream. Thank...

Terra-Firma
This chain of rusted iron and fallen tears is strung together, forged of poorly tempered links, cast into the water untimely, the choices called to account. There is no jury for decision, no panel for propriety or loyalty, and that metal is riddled with holes throughout, holes that hold steady between the weak iron, holes which time will fade. Oxidation slowly burns away...

Terra Firma
War and Peace collide in vain Mankind will suffer anguish and pain As the earth warms up through ignorance and greed One day we'll find it hard to feed In case you'd forgotton we're all the same race If not in religion but surely in faith Father daughter son and mother Why do we find it so hard to love one another This...

They grazed their sheep upon my grass So many centuries in the past In feudal times,a monastery of hope 'Til King Henry divorced the Pope In later times upon my hill They set a smock windmill As Victoria came on her throne A brewery made this site its own Later in more social times, a public bath In which poor folk cleansed at my...
