spring, and nature starts
once more round a yearly loop
we humans have doomed
sail towards an exhausted sun
exhausted to the bones
and the ship itself exhausted
there is land somewhere
perhaps, or if not land
an equal ending
long waves behind and few ahead
but not none, not yet
still enough worth counting
and a sweet fresh breeze

Dawn in the garden
Skunk in the window well
Still life, zero chill
The trees lived their lives
Outside the chaos of words
Lush naïveté
blood on my hands
sold my soul for.this
ringing in my ears
a peal of bronze and scatter
knees aching
gritted my teeth
and faked it
but never made it
air and stone and cold
built to amplify guilt
and fertilise fear
steeled my soul for this
blood on my hands
#SmallPoems #Poetry #Writing #MastoPrompt 9 May 2025 - devotion
taste of wetlands
brine on the edge of the tongue
thirst quenched, distant song
#DailyHaikuPrompt - 9 May 2025 - lush.

Lush reeds, cloudless sky
A few birds glide peacefully
over the marshland

Lush greens flood the fields,
Warm breezes displace the chill,
Spring into summer.
frozen ground,
a wide, open sky -
the chill wind
寒風 (kanpū) - chill wind

non duality
so many giggles arise
to the truth of it
It's not my cup of
so I joke about the wars
that were fought for it
(I rather have black coffee)

Window onto light
depicts my eternal hopes
a dream-laced canvas.
Balm rises from Earth
the fragrant gems of healing
softly lifting us.
Roseate petals
shaking off the morning dew
fragrant in the gold.

#Tea
Every morning,
Ritual brew sits undrunk,
Until - where’s my tea?
Should not any one
have a safe place where loving
can thrive unhindered

Baby birds nestling

soon ready to fly
