Sometimes a light shines out from nowhere, It seems, striking you right between the eyes. Like a target struck by the arrow of another’s heart, Replete with abundant love, and an awareness That you were always watched, and always safe. You just didn’t know it, because you could not see. Then the hand that was […]
What have the Roman’s ever done for us?
The invention of the printing press and it’s promotion by William Caxton, a while back now – exact dates elude me presently – marks a corner-stone in the development of the sciences and education as we know it. In fact if it were not for Caxton’s zeal to print the first ever fully English King […]
Somewhere in the Middle
If I started at the Beginning I would be Nowhere near the End. And if I wanted It to end I would Have no need to begin. So in the middle I Stand, neither here Nor there. In between The realms of distance, Caught in a paradox, In a breathless moment, In a tearful wink, […]
Shadows of Love
Shadows of Love All this in my name, Yet as I enter No-one knows my face. I walk amongst them, Yet no-one knows I’m here. Were they expecting Fanfares, or carriages Of light? Were they expecting Absolution without First asking why? Did they think I would anoint them With love and compassion, Without […]
A Hot Cup of Cocoa Anyone?

The Gateway – (IntPoWriMo – Day 29)

The Overseer – Part One
The Overseer – Part One In this twilight hour I am listening to the chimes of time, Ringing out the ascension of all faiths. As a contemplation of each minute Brings us closer to home. A quieting presence Tames my senses And I am no longer at peace, Neither at mercy to my […]
Mother Nature – (IntPoWriMo – Day 27)
Mother Nature I say goodbye to my beliefs That bring about such tides of grief, That wrack my heart with sorrow’s word, As though a child had not been heard. I lay to rest that child of mine, To let it dream of things divine, While I remain on this fine earth, Until the time […]
Perfection – (IntPoWriMo – Day 23)
Perfection All that mastery of thought and wisdom; Never beckoning, never waking. Tantamount to perfection, Tantamount to wishing. That is what is really there; The dreams you dreamt Last night and before, serving Example beneath the skin Of time; beneath your waking Awareness. Had you caught Yourself, you may have seen The beauty you created, […]
