Oh golden sun
That bonny eye
Watch over me
Hour on hour
Til the daylight dies
Hold me
In your sight
Your presence bright
Cast my shadows
Long behind
And tuck me in at night

all we can hear is the hum
harmony unsung

When the #lightning flashed
Veinous through the night
And the thunder crashed
Like a hammer of the gods
The relentless tears
of the cracked open sky
As the heavens cried
Another shock
And the silence of men
In their cowardice
Then the hammer struck again

Good morning from Tilley #dogs #tilley #photography #borderaussie

Time has bars
and the lock
was cast open for me
Once free to come
and go as I please
But now the cell
is mostly closed
and I sit spellbound
by the walls
Scratching time
in blocks of five
Cognizant of the
preciousness of life

In dark places
Jewelry adorns the sky
Diamonds that sparkle
And a pearl of great size
Nothing to pay
And nothing to buy
Just a dazzling display
That hangs for your eye

Thank you Peter💙♥️

Magnanimous Mitch
Found a dog in a ditch
Suffering alone
So he carried it home

But the dog didn't stay
He just bolted away
Leaving Mitch all alone
In his generous home

she blows and she blows
those bountiful bubbles skyward
childhood ecstacy

"All war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal." John Steinbeck

Buds of three flowers on the cusp of blooming

petals will open
but its splendor is timid
once bloomed death follows

you broke my routine
carb-stuft Sunday brunches
fingers syrup sticky
pieces of napkin stuck
to my don’t-give-a-fuck face
as if i’d forgotten
a reason to bother
no chapstick for tacky lips
content in neglect
indolent locks unkempt
weekend lethargy
feeds another nap

Board Rules

Victors dictate the way,
And change it as they play,
Throughout each passing day.

Flags show a shared design,
Where fleeting pacts align,
A fragile, shifting line.

Waiting for the sun to break through
this fog that hangs in lethargy
dangling like a weight upon the trees
damp and dead where light should be glistening
burst through lost luminosity
this day as yet has tiny feet
and there is another side to the street
#vss365 #lethargy #poetry

Indeed!!

NEGATIVE LIGHT

When it comes to the news,
We’ve all got cataracts,
Cos every source has an agenda,
Clouding the truth with their own colours.
And if you can’t see that,
Then you’ve been blinded by the light
They shine into your face.

#vss365 #cataract 👁️

Would that we could sit alone
Mist rising from the cataract's foam
And scratch our names into the stone
Like the others did
In the simplicity of nice
Before we were
Dragged under by device
#vss365 #cataract #poetry

There at the edge
the sun rises
and once again
without regret
promises broken
such splendour
has lost its colour
to a bomb

‘Hand me another beer, will ya?’

‘Drinking sure helps with the waiting while we’re hunting.’

‘I’ll say. You sure this is Jackalope territory?’

‘They’re very #timid & only come out at night.’

‘I’ve only seen dead ones mounted on walls.’

‘Same’

‘Sure is a good excuse to drink out here.’

Timid child
won't you step outside
there is light
in the garden of life
there's truth in a whisper
and a whistling bird flies
softly under its wing
for silence only lies
