A Deep Green Dream

12/02/202304/02/2023 C and K WordsLeave a comment

I was here, yet I was there
in a windswept green with
the Northern wind words.

Lost in the deep green, the
moss, and the beginning of
snow falling upon my face.

Lucid dreaming of a dreamed
up land coming to life, the
world around me loses form.

There and here.

Wishing for Nature

09/02/202304/02/2023 C and K WordsLeave a comment

I wish for nature to invade my brain
take me from the concrete and steel

show me the end and the beginning
tell me a story about the young sea

stay close to me and guide my heart
teach me about the ancient old ones

sing the language of the trees to me
I wish for nature to tell me her stories

A Summer Coat

05/12/2022 C and K WordsLeave a comment

I work from home alone.

I raise my eyes to the window,
and
look out towards the hills, cows.

Magpies snap up worms from our lawn.

At lunch, I stand in thongs and a coat,
watching everything between heaven and Earth.

The wind wails of Winter, yet it is Summer.

Changing Colours

30/11/202201/11/2022 C and K WordsLeave a comment

Autumn left as Winter dawns,
yet a calm intensity begins.

Linger it does within the hues,
as pink takes blue to indigo.

Crisp longings linger within,
yet the calm sea calls to me.

Prodigy

15/11/202214/11/2022 C and K WordsLeave a comment

An urbanised prodigy.

While playing the violin, his teacher said, “You need to understand nature for this piece”.
Baffled, he said, “I don’t understand”.

The teacher said, “You hold wood and shellac; you touch horse hair and resin. Is this not part of nature?

“I guess”.

A Warm Fire

14/11/202206/11/2022 C and K WordsLeave a comment

we walk in the mist,
we walk in the cold

you talk about nothing,
I talk about everything

we arrive at a warm fire
we arrive at a hot stew

you set the table,
I pour the champagne
and
then
the ice wine

Lake Games

12/11/202201/11/2022 C and K WordsLeave a comment

The fog gathers, caressing the trees;
The trees see their reflection on the surface;
The lake’s surface is their mirror.

The mirror reveals what the trees want to see;
The fog clouds their judgement;
The lake plays games with the wise old trees.

Alone

10/11/202203/11/2022 C and K WordsLeave a comment

Almost part of the sky,
as the embrace of solace eases the sadness.

You will be sitting at home reading or playing a game,
yet you’re not now.

Now you’re just ash,
and I am now alone.

The Mirror Ripples

08/11/202201/11/2022 C and K WordsLeave a comment

Beyond the mist,
another world.
Here and now,
still in this place.

Viewing the scene,
distorted reflections.
Trees on the surface,
watery reflections.

Deceptively calm,
hidden from sight.
Another world waits;
the mirror ripples.

Lake Song

06/11/202201/11/2022 C and K WordsLeave a comment

A mysterious fog
hangs about
the fabled woods.

Sitting still on
the surface
watching the water.

Listening to the
calm sounds
of the lake song.
