Time

Time Why do you all fret so? I 'm the form you choose me to be A figment of your imagination An hourglass you keep turning To structure your existence Into years, months,days And other endless divisions Which cause you stress In truth I'm just a mountainside That changes with the seasons As all...

Strange Presence

Strange Presence Where the feet of the mountains Merge into a meadow I summoned you, strange friend Without knowing why or how I never saw you in the flesh You were always a shadow Beside me in strange dreams Of long ago Beside me when I travelled Through beautiful landscapes I had known before And...

Beautiful Dream

Beautiful Dream I dreamed I stood on a hill And sang My voice soared through the mountain I don't know where it came from But I was set free And afraid of nothing. Sign in to see full entry.

Place to Bury Strangers (Britain's Workhouse)

Place to Bury Strangers Over the centuries Britain's workhouse Was like a tidal wave Which swallowed people And buried them In some senseless hell Of discipline and correction It swallowed people Who had nowhere to go And no way of improving their lives After all, they needed "relief" Or let's put...

The Old Mill

The Old Mill By the river I hear the sound Of a clock chiming A strange sound in an empty riverside It seems to come from nowhere A pile of old bricks Sink into the riverbank Slowly crumbling They have letters Engraved on them A glimpse of recognition There goes the chime again The remnants Of a...

I looked around me And saw the sea, Its grey waves rising and falling Against the rocky mountainsides. I looked... Sign in to see full entry.

Spring

We are sailing towards spring. The ship is turned And is now poised On top of the wave. Paused in a bit of reflection Before the wave breaks And turns everything green. We sense it in the air.

Song for a Dog

I walked through the fields. The grass rippled In the lake of moon, Like a flashing mirror. I found you asleep In the long grass, Curled head to tail, Shining silver.
