We Are All Travellers

We are all travellers, 
moving through time, 
walking roads we did not choose, 
carrying stories no one fully knows. 

Life gives us no map, 
only moments
some soft as morning light, 
some heavy as storms. 
We meet people along the way, 
some stay, some leave, 
some become memories before we are ready. 

We build, we lose,

Turn around on your journey, friend,
    and look back to this hill
    I occupy,
    arms raised...hello? goodbye?
Silhouette on your horizon
    but now the sun is high.

My travellers
    are all strung out
    on dusty roads and highways.
Not surprised,

They still label us as gipsies and tinkers

but it is them with the blinkers

everyone is a migrant

and our culture is vibrant

let us not forget about Treblinka

We the Travellers

We, the travellers 

 Many people when they get elderly travel the world
to see famous places and other cultures.
When they die, they will have no recollection of the travels.
I have been to every country that has a seaport,
working long hours, it was dark when I got up and dark
when the toil was over.
I might as

You stank, and  poo was once revealed when pants were pulled in playing field. Hard round briquettes, quite dry, like dung with straw sun-hard and undigested. 

All kinds of unkind taunts and silly songs were sung and rumour did the rounds of Traveller’s goings on in dog-bark fenced compound. 
Nothing known, but always just

Travellers Guide To the Edge of the Universe

I’m at my piano like Mercury

Trying to write a grand sweet song

It’s already painted in the windows

I’m copying off the stars

Don’t give up on us my Lord

I can pray all night long 

Cry an ocean for You

I can see the Milky Way when I look down from my flying carpet 

We’ll call number by number

Astral Travellers

Some fly in their jumpsuits,
others are thrown naked
to a place where thoughts are fig leaves.
A few conjugate dots of light
into a body-language.
Many shoot off like toothpaste from a tube,
tugging slinky bodies behind them.
Star charts are parochial,
they map the contours of rumpled sheets.
Some run in the park with sleeping dogs.
Such travelers are hummingbirds riding rodeo bulls,
New

Travellers

We are all travellers to destiny,
on the unknown highway of life.

Some roll in glassy tortoise shells.
Others move as simple chameleons.
Still others fly in dead birds in sky;
and also swim as frogs in cages.

If you travel in tortoise shells,
do not splash mud on chameleons.
Birds of the air, honor those below.
Whatever they are to you, love them.

If

The Travellers Promise

The Travellers Promise

I will wander from the path
enter the wild wood
deliberate in that great unknown
Not ever look back
draw my fingers over kind bark
inhale a thousand things
and thread there lightly 
in silent respect 
Listening carefully 
to the breath, the song of the wind
I will fear no shadows 
or long forgotten histories
nor change my way 
nor alter

The Time Travellers Husband

I remember you  
You told me you were a time travellor.
I fell in love with you anyway.
Without you time meant nothing to  me.
I knew  time travel 
was a  fantastic  imagination gone wild..
But I was infatuated  
even if I did not believe  you.
To prove it.
You asked me 
where in

Travellers' Pledge

 I was born to move, bound by momentum
destined to wander, beckoned by distance. 
I reject chains. They corrupt like venom. 
Never to be slowed or misled by assistance.

If I am weary, I will rest for a night, 
lay down, my mind free to dream and explore. 
But I will wake ready, before first light;

Poor Travellers

Came to this country little suitcase in hand
For a better life in this wonderful land
Pockets were sort of empty but he mentally planned
7 days of school-work as he desperately could,
To send money back to care for his family
Found a Haitian princess to live ever happily
Then something happened
I came about gradually
But actually,
I was second in line
My

Memories of the Travellers

The gypsies’ caravans,
Not welcome in our town,
Had parked and settled down,
Appeared to have no plans,
Were shouted at by grans,
Disliked for their renown.

They called them tramps and thieves,
Not having an address,
And said they’d leave a mess;
I thought they’d read tea leaves,
Wear clothes with fancy sleeves -
Was wrong I must confess.

They left the site a dump;
And people
