Birdsong silenced
Cloudless canopy
Like Frozen air
heartbeats vanish
Thoughts escape
A moment's measure
Lost in days
Blankets are heavy
Tv is quiet
Mouths agasp
As tears cascade
Horror and hope
Embraced lovers
Skin and dust
Eyes empty
A tear torn
A hole burns
Movement alone
suffering as smoke
Billows toward heaven
Stillness is absence
Never forgotten.

Metal does ring
When wind makes much of little
Windows shake
Falling aided becomes flight
Chilling sting
Sleep does give under weight
Minds awake
A slice of light in churning grey
Shape has shape
Thoughts travel in rhythm's break

Silence despite sound
Stillness in motion.

Cold confronts warmth
Cloud as breath.

Force upon the gentle
A blanket of spears.

Limbs twist and bow
Crying in the night.

Revealing new forms
In soft violence.

such boundaries
between work and play,
a wailing wall,
each stone removed,
a open field,
leaving only energy and purpose,
until identity is affected
like the tide by the moon,
in constant ebb and flow

the crowd surges

upon shelves

of endless bounty

the aroma

of herbs and green

of flowers and fruit

of bread and honey

of apples and maple

they swirl about

wide open eyes

their voices loud

humbled

by the clambering

of feet

the colours

they bleed

merging

in a sea of plenty

of toil and pride

of shared tables

of history's memory

in the joy

of connection

with the land

against the grain
wheels roll
over damaged black
tarmac
frozen in motion
waiting
in quiet frustration

heels leed legs
feels slow
cracking as they hit
timing
from green to flashing
striking lines
lost in a rhythm

i heard a voice in a weakened state,
a voice i had not heard
since objects had no names,
a time of magic and joy
that has since faded,
misplaced,
deep in the recesses.
i chase this faint whisper,
a breeze of innocense
born as truth,
sounds emmerge as
light leaps over structure,
shadows pushed aside,
stars now clothed
in the waning night,
and into this still room
so does this voice escape
in a moment between.

vertical space
is enveloped
even
consumed by
melting
reflections and
burnt sky.

eager stars
do shine
raining down
specks of light
until these eyes
enter
the night.
