a countdown of life.
The time of wide-eyed wonder,

And green vines slither up the tree's limb.

The Things That Passed
...A wise elm tree of branches sprout out
To a lovely painted sky in a mass of clouds.
Treasures granted to surprise in no doubt
Carnaging every figure it endures and allows.
Freeing the birds gri...

To Sing the Unsung Melody
...To sing the unsung melody;
To ring the unrung bell ??…
Amidst the hungry poets
Starved and naked with pens poised …

The Onliest Place
...I've since forgotten nearly now
All my schooling, my meditations
I am where I am, my tracks all gone
Gurus, the sentients, seers, sages
Enlightened speakers through the ages
Only conclusions, re...

We've got the worse thing
The ups and downs.
These types of feelings

Clanging Echoes
...When I’ve gone
to the place
where my fathers’
have gone before me
and the last tribute
has been paid to my memory,
may my singing words
crack the silence with clanging echoes.
May the clan...

The Sound of Silence
...I revisit the Sound of Silence
Every now and again
To recover my lost Zen
And to try and reach down deep inside
And find my quiet place within.
It is hard to shut down my mind.
When the chaos...
