trading time for money
energy limited resource
house built on debt
family of ghosts
hamster in a wheel
the endless run
wiped out all the
left over wits
river within its banks
carving the rocks
running its course
without fail
life like a river
seeping away
from us all
sooner than later
shaping us by the flow
nothing stays the same
only change remains
for eternity
you rock my world
you are with me
when I weep
you hold me tight
in my sleep
when I tremble
you are the closest
to my skin
at moments of sorrow
your strength I borrow
you go into the depth
of the self talk…
proud of you
cancer
crushing down waves
pouring skies
cut the ties
with the world around
time to reflect
to be with oneself
nowhere else
but inside
busyness stopped
all is calm
silence around
apart from the rain
what do we need
what do we really
crave to do and be
other than that
an opportunity
to go within
to slow down
to be in joy
still…
alive

liberated statue with
chain around the legs
share an act of kindness
give us free range eggs
who knows where it leads
when kids build rockets
role play robin hood then
line their own pockets
status wealth and power
display of egos round a table
come to senses if you dare
and are still somewhat able
the machinery of conflict
is greatest source of drama
to keep us on the edge of seats
and still wearing pajama
