Windows to More Than Ourselves Group Poems - 12 and 13 June '21

 

Framing the Present

 

Plundering riches and pillaging poems

blind me like a dazzling and radiant emblazoned sunrise

allowing the potential to unfold to become more full, more than.

We are all held, the living and the dead

what has survived? 

Intricate filigree of dill

stirring them to dance, rise and fall, slip and fall away

a blush of blue on the horizon

I can see the one sky with colours that dip over the horizon

and new lands can be found, different worlds, and other people

with other ways of living.

Do we love without a return ticket?



This Accepting Window

 

I walk this path everyday

fitting perfectly in

sometimes I trip and fall

walking alone in the woods

it is a humble kind of love

in these long days and short days

it is a kind of love.
