Hymn to the Crone
When Cally died aged 33
of cancer, leaving behind
a Husband, 2 young lads
and an ocean of emptiness
I asked big questions
what it really means
as we float around space
on a cosmic bowling ball
if it means anything at all
inbetween paying bills
and taxes. How a world
can spin, seemingly
out of control.
I see those lads sometimes,
their little faces gleaming
through Facebook pictures,
Hubbie’s arm around
someone new
how well they look
after...

Journey to the Stars
There are no more holes
to bury secrets.
Standing in the chasm between
body and spirit, I am unbroken.
Taking back my time, my being,
my every last piece that once was dismantled,
walking into a new life
here, or into another dimension
replete with love:
this is the measure of life.
Emerging in starlight as
dust to earth
heat to fire
breath to air
weightless to water.
My journey to the stars
may be long…
But it is healing.
to bury secrets.
Standing in the chasm between
body and spirit, I am unbroken.

my every last piece that once was dismantled,
walking into a new life

replete with love:

Emerging in starlight as
dust to earth
heat to fire
breath to air
weightless to water.
My journey to the stars
may be long…
But it is healing.

april songs: journey of life 2
april song 02: elemental
journey of a thousand footsteps,
man conceived as living soul;
concept of superior concepts:
what would he write on the scroll?
he could write a script for living
in his earthen universe,
lest binge-taking and stinge-giving
change his blessing to a curse.
he could write a script for dying,
if he understood that life
must soon, in the grave, be lying
‘neath old, cold grim reaper’s knife.
he cannot rescind the order
of his freewill compromise
who makes void the sovereign...

april songs: journey of life 1
april song 01: conceptual
concept of Almighty Father,
more conceptual than mere thought;
for I Am is greater, farther,
whom we know not as we ought.
dust there was upon the new earth,
light there was at His command;
formed He of the dust the true-birth
of His image, by His Hand.
journey of a thousand footsteps,
man conceived as living soul;
concept of superior concepts:
what would he write on the scroll?
would his scribble be of eden
or his ink blot of the heathen?

Lessons in Nature
You do not see the flowers
Turn away the bees
Nor do you see the birds
Being banished by the trees
There are no bounds in nature
Every little thing takes what it needs
And provides sustainability for
Nourishment and peace
We have falsely learned
Possession is the way
And as long as we continue to hoard
Our consciousness will not awake
Turn away the bees
Nor do you see the birds
Being banished by the trees
There are no bounds in nature
Every little thing takes what it needs
And provides sustainability for
Nourishment and peace
We have falsely learned
Possession is the way
And as long as we continue to hoard
Our consciousness will not awake

Crowned Sovereigns
In the heart of an anthill, a tiny realm unfurls,
where diligent ants toil, their purpose unswerved.
Their queen, a regal soul, her mandate clear:
“Build, gather, thrive—our empire we revere.”
Her majesty, a minuscule monarch, yet grand,
commands her subjects with an unwavering hand.
She wears her crown of purpose, not of gold,
for in unity they labor, their story told.
The anthill pulses—a bustling metropolis.
Each worker a bricklayer, a tireless optimist.
They weave tunnels, chambers, intricate veins,
their labor a...

That's Life
If life is supposed to be
A little bit nuts
Then I've had more
Than my share
Of crazy
And if love is meant
To turn out right
Once in a while
I'm way more experienced
At dealing with
A broken heart
I never discount
the countless good times though
Because that's what makes
Life worth the living
A little bit nuts
Then I've had more
Than my share
Of crazy
And if love is meant
To turn out right
Once in a while
I'm way more experienced
At dealing with
A broken heart
I never discount
the countless good times though
Because that's what makes
Life worth the living

Frost Bitten Embers
Cost ineffective, stretched thin and taking
Cycles of social expectation
Thievery of a living in the making
Time stolen by breath conned of material exasperation
Siphoning blood like oil into the industry
Cogs in corporate machines
Closing my eyes to wake up faking legacy
Another day in the devils dreams
Scams of overtaxed wages and collective debts
Glorified coupons of overpriced benefits
Cashing out achievements against the weight of our regrets
Paychecks to compensate, quick fixes off of these penny hits
Does...

Wardruna - Hertan
take me wherever you want
as long as you keep that pace
as if my heart beats
at the center of the universe
repeat the verse to me
talk equitably different to me
about everything I don't see
but that inhabits my skin
take me with you to places
that I only imagined but I know
that are out there waiting for me
free me from the limits that bind
shares my body with the energy
share my energy with life
share my life with everyone
let us all share the light of existence
as long as you keep that pace
as if my heart beats
at the center of the universe
repeat the verse to me
talk equitably different to me
about everything I don't see
but that inhabits my skin
take me with you to places
that I only imagined but I know
that are out there waiting for me
free me from the limits that bind
shares my body with the energy
share my energy with life
share my life with everyone
let us all share the light of existence

they gather in a huddle
he’s going downhill
say his friends
life’s an uphill struggle
but going downhill
is usually how
it ends

Her Life in Photos
In the stillness of the night's embrace,
Her smile danced with a subtle grace.
While she fixed hair, I glanced around,
Then memories of her life I found.
First, a child's gleeful prance,
A youthful spirit in every glance.
Braces adorned her crooked smile,
As parents fashioned their perfect child.
Beside a boy, she was cute and proud.
With him she learned to love out loud.
Her body sprang from the dust of earth
The day her beauty found its birth.
As her robe fell to the ground,
Her true essence...
Her smile danced with a subtle grace.
