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.

so I floated with the tide

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

i don’t know about

heaven

or reincarnation

perhaps they

are products of

our psyche that

offer comfort or

hope

perhaps they symbolise

life on earth

here and now

i know we can

change

i know we can

live a blissful life

or one that is hellish

the choice is ours

and the other side

of us

is the alternative

surrender is not one, but many

 

many as the days given into

night's safe keeping

 

many as the sands yielding

to the capture of the sea

 

many as the times our hearts

abandon fate for providence

 

many as the ways

love submits to hope

 

surrender is not death, but promise

delivered into open arms

 

into the next life rising

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

The double helix staircase

 

HEM-He Art Museum hosts the private collection of the founder of one of the largest industrial groups in China-Midea. The museum is a project by Architect Tadao Ando, inaugurated in October 2020. The concept behind the architectural project is harmony, perfectly represented by its focal point - the double helix staircase.

When my eyes opened

the world was different

and no longer

what I knew

not better or worse

just different

 

When my eyes opened

there was a sun

rising, dark blood

with tears

and all the sky

was holding me

 

no better or worse

our truth is a

shadow drawing us

through a wheel

entering like the specs

we are perched upon

a rock in space

from where we

cannot be seen or

noticed but for

the vacuum

that’s left behind

innocence is a curious quality

we often dismiss as naivety

yet innocence is also an

unbridled view of the world

it’s a state of not having pretence

like someone who is naked

with their clothes on

someone who peers through

a clear pane of glass

like the tide my

fears rise and swell

cold brine pitches

bidding me enter

and there beneath

in the absence of light

clutching at the memory of the womb

i hold to the very edge

to the darkest moments

that incline me towards

letting go

howling across

into hard earth

mixed with stone

and tree roots we

struggle with the

limits of hands

and feet crawling

upon the surface

together falling

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.

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
