Genesis (The theory of nothing)
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? More likely the egg huh, cos without the egg you couldn't have the chicken, right? Eggs are smaller and more embryonic somehow - easier to manufacture.
It just seems more likely. As for Humankind...I believe a comet was the giant sperm that carried the nutrients needed to kick-start life when it slammed into this Earth, many eons ago. Lightning then struck the shattered remnants so that life could begin. After all, if one has a heart attack, it is often electricity that will bring us back to life when all other attempts have failed.

I Did Not Complain
I did not complain when you plundered my skin,
Erasing the blush from my burning cheeks.
I did not complain when you punctured my veins,
Nourishing yourself from the wells of my soul.
I did not complain when you gorged upon my flesh,
Peeling back the layers to satisfy your hunger.
I did not complain when you impregnated me with your poisons,
Robbing the fertility from the depths of my womb.
I did not complain when you choked my lungs with your addiction,
Fueling your conquest of my blood and bone.
I did...
Erasing the blush from my burning cheeks.
I did not complain when you punctured my veins,
Nourishing yourself from the wells of my soul.
I did not complain when you gorged upon my flesh,
Peeling back the layers to satisfy your hunger.
I did not complain when you impregnated me with your poisons,
Robbing the fertility from the depths of my womb.
I did not complain when you choked my lungs with your addiction,
Fueling your conquest of my blood and bone.

The End
In the end
We are meat (organic compounds)
Ingested by the animals
We are earth (minerals)
Combined into stone
We are air (gases)
Released to the atmosphere
We are fluid (water)
Evaporated to the clouds
We are fire (energy)
Radiated to the environment
We are spirit (soul)
Released to the heavens
We are thought (memories)
Relegated to the past
We are inspiration (ideas)
Projected to the future
We are meat (organic compounds)
Ingested by the animals
We are earth (minerals)
Combined into stone
We are air (gases)
Released to the atmosphere
We are fluid (water)
Evaporated to the clouds
We are fire (energy)
Radiated to the environment
We are spirit (soul)
Released to the heavens
We are thought (memories)
Relegated to the past
We are inspiration (ideas)
Projected to the future

Divided We Fall
we all want a life of peace
and I would argue that it's the same vision
yet we let this power struggle divide us
following views that don't reflect who we are
how can a person I call friend,
support a man who hates my skin?
yeah I get it
too many sheep and not enough thinkers
hard to believe that people just follow
another life dead so we just accept
did you know a kid today became a hero?
all it cost him was his life
accept that it's just the way things are
it's not like we have no say in the matter
but...

Bright Star shot out of the sky
Bright Star shot out of the sky,
Went home to leave this world behind.
Frustrations pent up over so many years
One day all burst free.
Two stars met out in deep space,
Out of time; God said to them
“Separate and learn to grow,
Complete the wheel and start out low.”
So Bright Star dealt in all those things,
The daily plagues of the earthlings,
But after a while once it started to fade
And rocks began to turn to vapor,
Closer and closer to home she came
In her heart and memories – memories faded,
Her actions and...
Went home to leave this world behind.
Frustrations pent up over so many years
One day all burst free.
Two stars met out in deep space,
Out of time; God said to them
“Separate and learn to grow,
Complete the wheel and start out low.”
So Bright Star dealt in all those things,
The daily plagues of the earthlings,

Closer and closer to home she came
In her heart and memories – memories faded,

Dear Earth
Dear Earth,
Hi there, how are you? I thought I'd drop you a line, because some of the family are a bit worried about you. They're saying that you're not too happy about the way things are going at the moment, that we might be abusing your trust? I really hope that you don't think that this is the case, because we've put in so much hard work to get where we are!
I've got a few bullet points for you -
* We own the place! (we've got the paperwork, OT & NT etc) I'm sure you remember agreeing to this? If not, consult your legal team.
* It's up to you...

High Spring
May blossoms in the hedgerow.
Where tractors have not slain
the hedges, heavy with scents
of high spring, bird songs excite
as bees ply a trade as old as Adam
gathering a harvest for the winter
(not long to keep us waiting).
See infant fruits swelling,enjoy the sun
it is for you,everyone and none other.
Before my window flies and butterflies
dance their ballet, Gold finches
call each hour fledglings swing in the conifers
only two weeks before they fly
joining the chorus, Earth's great orchestra
which we...

Everything and nothing
Clear and calming, dreamy and delicate,
I worship the wonders we get to witness
It's really magnificent, magical actually,
although life can be quite maddening
at times, it's the beauty that reminds me how precious this experience is and how amazing it is to be able to exist in such a strangely special dimension.
-
Wild breeze blows through the trees
so powerfully peaceful, so gentle and soothing, so divine and discreet
Absolutely chill I feel
From my head to my feet
This serenity cant be beat,
mind so still,
so empty...

21st Century Wild Man
Wild, untamed in a clever suit.
Primordial instinct oozing forth,
Swords of nib and ink,
Shields of documents, deeds and prints.
Pushing mind and body to brink.
Preying on weakness, survival of the fittest.
Degrees upon degrees, untamed knowledge.
Startups and matchups, outwitting the finest.
Ones and zeros, in this battlefield anyone can be a hero.
Wild men, wild ideas...
Nuclear weapons, space shuttles and the internet,
Now that's wild!
Celebrities, guns, movies,
Virtual reality!
Civilization of savages...
Eat or be...

Rockhollow Series: Billardiera heterophylla
Weather: Mostly dry, heavy cloud, warm air.
Plant of the day: Strawberry
Wildlife of the day: Robin
Billardiera heterophylla
She said to me,
"I love the way that grows, what is that?" Not realising what it would mean to me,
how carefully I've cared for that plant she sees, in seed,
not even slightly at best. I mumble, bashful, something about inviting her back
when flowers flood it with blue.
She smiles, repeats she just liked it's form, we move along
to the hedgehog, but the comment sits in my belly days after, stored...

Rockhollow Series: Space of Destot
Title: Space of Destot
Twenty-Nine of Thirty
Unique words: One Hundred
#NaPoWriMo19
There's been a deep changing
in more than weather and roots,
my nerves, my drive and tempo -
all utterly immersed. In the way
this Earth she
dances upon a natural beat
so too, in this retreat, does my heart,
my bare, muddy feet.
I've been watching the light sink
and give way to darker hue
whilst feeding Horace the Hedgehog
and updating an aged garden journal. In the silence,
single bird song
or moving car...
