POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
A REVELATION
(1)
The universe swings on a radius at light speed plus
And opens up a cosmic door revealing “us”.
At light speed plus oblivion’s swept away
Say hi to time and space and night and day.
Mass separates from energy,forms a sun.
A broiling fire round which our atoms run.
The atoms are the fuel that light the sky
Of every planet in our galaxy.
The universe swings on a radius at light speed plus
And opens up a cosmic door revealing “us”.
At light speed plus oblivion’s swept away
Say hi to time and space and night and day.
Mass separates from energy,forms a sun.
A broiling fire round which our atoms run.
The atoms are the fuel that light the sky
Of every planet in our galaxy.

NOTHING REALLY MATTERS
Swinging down my family tree
I leave the future to the featureless
But name you as the most I loved.
The babble of humanity
disturbs the air,its clamorous sounds confuse my ears
Indecipherable as ragged brooks.
Now,here I stand,anonymous
Among the people of an age swept under by the storms of time
Beneath a carpet of forgotten years.
All that has been heard and said
All that will be said and heard
Is but as water crashing on the stones.
I leave the future to the featureless

Among the people of an age swept under by the storms of time
Beneath a carpet of forgotten years.
All that has been heard and said
All that will be said and heard
Is but as water crashing on the stones.

Survival
What roots sustain the tree of life
From which spring forth our leafy lives ?
And when that final Autumn comes
What memory of us survives ?
It's fruits perhaps may the cosmos roam
To seed some other worldly home.
From which spring forth our leafy lives ?
And when that final Autumn comes
What memory of us survives ?
It's fruits perhaps may the cosmos roam
To seed some other worldly home.

A NEED TO KNOW
A vase of daffodils stands on my desk
Not dancing to the noble wordsworths tune
But just as beautiful a scene.
The vase is Moorcroft,collectable by name.
Though I would wager others worth the same,
Functional and pretty in design but that’s the word
A thing designed and coveted by us.
Now take the daffodil,more beautiful
A thing,more delicate,delightful in my sight
Than any vase or engineered thing
My question is from whence its beauty came ?

Now take the daffodil,more beautiful
A thing,more delicate,delightful in my sight
