So I go blithely on! Setting out each day Bag on my arm And shoes nicely polished To live in my world Doing my things Proud of myself Well almost And there you stand Or rather slouch! Unwashed Unshaven With a leer And calling my bluff!
If I knew for sure Would I concur In the erosion Of my will I think not But as it is And not being sure Only suspecting I dismiss resisting you Luxuriate Give in Submit Get lost In your concept Of the world
It was a dream and I know it You were all warmth and gold All the colours of Sunshine You at the centre of a world Like no other You old as time itself But nimble like the Spring And your music Making a still point Where none was before
Grandfather on the plains Looks to an orange sky Raising his eyes from Mother Earth Dreaming with Father Sky Clarity in the ancient mind Resolution Resolution and fulfillment Peace – Sky and Earth together Passing beyond time and space “We are here” sing the rocks “We are here” hum the distant mountains All are one in meditation.
Rainbows
Rainbows and colours
You are all rainbows
You are all colours
Created from pure white light
Moonbeams and sunbeams
Direct and refracted light
All the pieces of the rainbow
And dancing with life itself
You are all colour
You are all sound
Vibrating
Oscillating
And flowing with the rhythm of life
Let us be close to still water
Deep in the forest
With filtered light
Falling through tall trees
Let us watch tiny flying things
Dancing to the music of the leaves
Oh come with me
To the quiet peace of that place
Sit with me on mossy rocks
Our feet cooling in the green water
Tell me your stories of content
In a sleepy afternoon
Let us saunter down water lanes
To lost places
With the smell of salty earth to guide us
And daises and marguerites
Nodding our way
Come to the pure, cool spring
And wash your tired eyes
