To transport your heart
On the wings of prayer
And to bring it safe to me.
That I may cherish
And hold it near
For all eternity.
To hear it beating near me
Like a deep Ancestral Drum.
Fills me with a longing
That our hearts
Be joined as one.
For the one inside
Who was so free?
That Fate’s cruel hand
Had turned the key
So locked inside
Glimpsed fleetingly
You spend your days
In solitary
Bottled up inside.
The tight, binding band
Of conformity
Has been loosed
from my chest.
And a choir of children
Can once again
Come out to play.
One Heart Beats
One Heart Beats
We are adrift
on a vast ocean
like fish we dance
in clouds of colour
amidst the coral
transfixed by the beauty.
Yet, watchful, tentative
unsure and fragile.
Bursting with life
we pulse and vibrate
Shockingly close
but yet apart
Different but the same.
In Life -
we mirror this dance.
Pursuing our separate visions
yet empty and wanting
Needful of the Ocean's
Comforting swell
and our links with
the rest of Humanity.
One Universe
One Earth
One Nation.
All under one Skin.
Dreams are best viewed at night.
As, when met by day
They hide the sun
With scenes of past splendours.
Chained to tomorrow
With future possibility.
Rosy hued rememberings
That cloaks the thorns
Of one’s humanity.
That paper over the cracks
In our “house of cards”.
Shimmering castles in the air
Until, the bubble bursts.
a grey shawl across the day.
And life loses its glimmer
for a while.
But, if you look
deep within yourself
your uniqueness shines
out like a torch in the darkness.
Banishing thoughts of worthlessness
From the mind.
Well Worth Seeing!
