the way i came is no
longer open to me
the road behind
is covered and lost
the bridges I crossed
are fallen into the river
and there is no returning
not now not then not ever

wild things
don’t do well in gardens
for slowly they are
strangled by their own
strength of purpose
slowly the cycle of each day
squeezes out their accidental joys
and they become tame

the wild sea is where I may walk upon
it is peaks and troughs and fields of green
it is a night of sorrows and the laughter of children
the wild sea is boiling where I tred
yet all is black that lies beneath
all is quiet as the early hours
the wild sea is rolling at my feet
yet still I stand upon the shore
where once the land stood also

here is my truth I offer like one who
is split asunder and must be joined
this is my fealty I lay before you
as though crafted from the hardest stone
here is my core that grows like a tree
that rises from its bones and knows no other way
and this is my heart I pass into your keeping
that you may have my trust also

A lone tree grew on the hilltop where the sea wind blew and nearby a spirit was often seen. Silhouetted by the sky, her hair dancing with the breeze, the spirit’s outline was all that anyone had witnessed. Yet the hill was known to be occupied and the spirit’s name was Amenti.
Long ago people from the nearby village had climbed the hill to offer victuals, but the practice had long since ended. Although neglected, Amenti remained however and now, during times of change, her presence was increasingly felt by the villagers.
Change, it seemed, had come full circle and returned something lost!
Late one evening, a widow whose husband had been taken from her early, ascended the hill as the stars first came into view. Their points of light running with her tears as she cried out to Amenti for life's reason.
"Why me?" she called. "Why take from me, who is without malice in their heart? What purpose is served by my pain and suffering?"
In the darkness a hawk echoed as the wind carried the scent of the sea. Falling to her knees the widow sobbed into her hands, but presently Amenti came to her saying:
"Give me your tears that I may return them to you as strength. Show me your despair that courage may re-enter your heart."
The widow was taken aback by these words for there was no-one in sight! Looking frantically in all directions she grappled with her emotions.
"Show yourself to me! Show yourself!" she called into the wind.
"I have," whispered Amenti "and you shall know me always as solace."
Afterwards the widow descended the hill in silence. She never cried again, but drew comfort from the changing of the seasons and the little, everyday things her tears had hidden from her.
To her, the world thereafter was a gift and she rejoiced in what was.
Sometimes she caught sight of Amenti, alone on the hilltop and imagined herself dancing with the wind.

i don’t know this world
but for a fragment
my fragment
the part i bruise
myself against
the part that greets me
each time i awake
slithering between the cracks
or
given to me
by a guiding hand
i don’t know this world
except for what
fits inside my
tiny teaspoon
or
crushes me beneath
the weight of something
large enough
not to miss
something too painful
not to learn from

how much does sorrow weigh?
what measure might apply to
the sharpest edge or the deepest
cut we have?
which value shall we stretch out
darkness against so its shadow
makes more sense?
fathomless means just that
and no amount of tears will
make it otherwise

some things never go away
but leave an indelible mark
that we must learn to know
and accept about ourselves
walking with a permanent limp
that may lead us towards an
understanding we could not
have gained by any other means
struggling in ways that remind
us of life's great beauty and depth
it's high peaks and open skies
and the valleys that separate us
from imagining we are not human

being weird has meant
not fitting in with the
mainstream
it means the things that
appeal to most people are
not applicable or of no
interest to me
weirdness has involved
being the odd one out
the person standing alone
so rather than complaining
about the world i don’t
fit into i’ve chosen instead
to embrace my weirdness
and accept it’s me who
is out of step
i’ve chosen to go the one
and only way left to me
which is my way

abandon fate for providence

the last night of sleep
is a river flowing to the sea
washed with cold brine to wake
the last fear of darkness
is when the stars fall down
and wisdom is naked like a truth
when tears have dried
and trailed a path to calm
only then do eyes see
only then is a passage found
with the last sight of shore

I dreamt I was a lotus fallen from heaven
and all the world was laid before me as if
by providence
for the Mother Goddess reaches into every
grain of sand and dew drop
into every heart that is open

What is strength?
What purpose does it serve?
How might it contribute to our lives in ways that are productive or creative?
Perhaps a way to answer such questions is to consider what strength is not.
Genuine strength is not something that comes at the expense of others. It is not the use of our physical and intellectual abilities to overpower, or dominate. The need to dominate is actually a form of weakness.
True strength does not have to show itself or prove anything, but is self-evident or implicit in nature.
It just is!
Inner strength is often the capacity ‘not’ to react, but to observe and listen. It affords us the luxury of not needing to say or do anything. It is the metaphoric rock upon which we stand and from where we may allow events to revolve around us – as opposed to the opposite.
Strength of character is not necessarily confidence, but is deeper and more substantial. Outward confidence is sometimes a façade we put on to mask our underlying fears. It is often an act we use to hide our self-doubt.
Strength can be faked in the short term, though not on the whole. It is any power that flows through us into the wider world and that sustains rather than weakens, that gives rather than takes. It is the ‘strength to see it through’, or the ‘strength to overcome’.
It is that which helps us to stand, when all we want to do is fall.

hate is a candle
love is a mirror
gender is a circle
greed is a fear
god is a magus
death is a tide
life is a tide also

a prison is anything that confines
is any space made small by the
circumstance of our life
a prison need not be physical
no bars or locks are needed
to restrain our freedom
freedom is a state of mind
that can only be claimed
by a stout heart
only courage breeches the walls
we encounter, only valour
can set us free

we all peer through veils
at this thing not knowing
what else to do
calling or clutching
at the passing shapes
feeling for the wall
but there is none
we all imagine something
in the background
guessing details to give
it a face
using reason
to pierce the illusion
but not really

as the guns fell silent
a wind bit across
the hills and mind set
of our former comforts
laying bare the bones
we had buried and
tipping us from craddle
to grindstone in ever
tightening circles until
we no longer recognised
the difference between
ourselves and a world
created in our image

this weight bears down
upon me
invisible
unseen
yet real
coming from me and
borne by me unwillingly
yet still pushing
ever downwards into
those places from which
i rise
