A word in your ear

A word in your ear
Whispers
Shouts
Moans
Secrets
Thoughts
Fears
Stories
Jokes
Invitations

Word Play
Word perfect
Word for Word

In a word
A good word
A word to the wise
Words on the wind

In so many words
Give me your word
Put in a good word
May I have your word?

Hoping to have a new poetry group running shortly at Cornerhouse inc.

A Way

Three score and ten
Straight sentinels
To the end

Some say their
Destiny fulfilled

They had no names,
But we knew them
Pillars holding aloft
Cool canopies green
Of stars and light
We knew them right

Our journeys pulled
Invisible toward
Arms of welcome
Into the presence
Infused through
Time of each who
Passed this way

Shrouded
In thought echoes
Bearings and
Breath taken
Peace and
Ease descend
Into our core
We are at one
We are not
Mistaken

This was
A special place

And it is gone
The limbs are gone
Our way markers - gone
We see the emptiness
We feel the sadness
We share the devastation
And
Though we know it to be true
That from the earth life will renew
We shall miss our way
Through the trees.

I did some poetry with residents and staff at 'The Barn', Holton Lee, and this is the result of a conversation on the day after they had logged out a setion of pine trees which had walks leading through.

Finding Time

Between beats
Of wings
Intervals of time
And things
Impossible
To possess.

Between sparks
Of starlight
Intervals of time
That might
Blink
Of all creation.

Between the pulse
Of flames
Intervals of time
Remain
Embers
For our dreams.

Between notes
Of songs
Intervals of time
In which
We may belong.
