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

HERE IS AN AUDIO RECORDING OF THIS POEM ON SPOTIFY:

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Purpose’

purpose, the big question
that gives many indigestion
asking people about it
life goes on without it

swirls of stardust in the sky
on the ground the little i
storms in heavens brewing
what on earth are we doing

deep blue water sustains life
floating plastic debris rife
the horizon full of fires
burning all human desires

in the end what matters most
just before we turn to ghost
to cherish life as precious art
clear conscience loving heart

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Unanswered’

for the sake of peace
the battle has began
men in combat gear
deploy remote weapons

like any other day
the sun rose today
yet as it sets down
uncertainty fills the air

energy that moves
the economy at large
getting held at bay
instability likely

what if we ask
what is the benefit
of this conflict
for all humanity

as there is always
benefit in each drawback
no matter how hard
it may seem to find

trust the process of life

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘In The Now’

the stream of life on a highway of time
an unstoppable force always in flux
dire times challenge ingrained beliefs
for a distant carrot on a stick
wishing away the current struggle

unrelenting pursuit of happiness
meanwhile the fleeting moment dissipates
into the vastness of past memories
soon forgotten not forgiven

the regret always a close friend
sharing space with guilt and self pity
the trio asking for validation
graceful acceptance of self

on a threshold of a new era
feelings acknowledged
the pressure released
new life embraced
in the now
