MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Calm’

all is well
life is underway
we attract all the time
there is a great love here
for me and you and all
keys to happiness
promise of greater days
silence inside
chaos subsided
clarity is yet
to make appearance
now the still pause
speaks for itself
all else evaporated
no more this and that
only here and now
peaceful
pulsing

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Santa’s Dream’

Mrs Santa cooks a storm
for this special day
yet her man the Santa
spends the night away

riding away reindeers
dodging violent storms
climbing out of chimneys
tricks of the trade performs

giving the gift of christmas
to kids young at heart
red dress white facial hair
in the costume looking smart

after the feast in solitude
his missus nods off in her chair
the evening news keep blaring on
christmas carols in the air

she dreams of days gone by
before his current role
the money were a bit tight
when Nick was on the dole

came the christmas poems
then the famous Cola ad
brought in many precious gifts
young Nick has never had

his attitude and caring nature
wishing well and sharing cheer
brought him fame out of the parish
giving back since year after year

the story of a well-to-do person
not too young and not too old
kingdom built out of not much
word of mouth and heart of gold

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Empty Vessel’

empty vessel
containing no thing
no thought no memories
vast new landscape

blank canvas
smell of freshness
newly stretched
onto the frame

the lived dream
of meditators
the perception of
newborns

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Summer Feel’

pleasant water

caressing the body

swimming in a lake

amidst birds and fish

submerged

united

being

one
