Who will emerge a king?
Or will the world be bits?
Where beauty lived
Now desecration
Where freedom reigned
Now chainéd nations
Who will emerge
to pick up the pieces
Of war mongers
and death and children's hunger?

Inspired by a young man in India speaking out against war.
On the day the world
Remembers the end of war
The end of killing,
Peace, fragile peace
Sought for and found unwilling
by men who destroy and bomb
their fellow humans wasted
so children starve and die
or grow to hate
their fragile peace destroyed and wasted

I look down at wide knuckles
Nails short and square
Practical hands made for
Fishing the depths, tilling the soil
My father's hands, now mine
Resting on the knotted pine table

These politicians make me curse
My language is getting worse and worse
I'm sounding like Miriam Margoleees
Won't someone sensible take over please?

Feeling like a cross between Florence Nightingale and Cinderella
Caring. Carrying the weight.
Guilt a constant companion
Fun and laughter fade away as I
attempt to remember the before.

I round the bend
Ignore the bullying BMW
keep to the speed limit
my eyes on the road ahead.
There it is
a magnificent, majestic magnolia
In full delicate rosy bloom
The sun's rays lighting
buds, in gold
It takes my breath
I pull over to the side
drink in the beauty

Go on!
Go barefooted onto the grass
Can you feel it?
Feel the earth
Vibrating, trembling upwards
Roots extend
Bulbs explode into bloom
Seeds sprout, green, and free
As earth gives us Spring.

Periwinkle Shell
I am empty now
my conical ridges are faded
Still the aroma of the sea clings
As I lie on my side among
The kelp-coated rocks
My ivory-coated exterior shielding
the mother of pearl lining
I was beautiful once
Now I wait for the tide

A melody the wind blew in
Sits in my head like lead
Playing over on repeat
Until it bursts out in a loud song
Filling the air with sound
Letting it return to the wind
Melodious and strong
