OFF GUARD
Dice fall
A game of luck
I placed my heart
The numbers don’t add up
Ice cold
Breath of fire
My garden froze
And I can only
See in spring
If anything survived
Do I really
See it clearly
Or do I read
Words and deeds
And miss the meaning
Out of reach
You
Caught me
Off guard
You
Haunt me
In my night yard
You
Caught me
Off guard
And all i can do
Is write this
Letter to us
High hopes
Mountain high
Coins roll
Into the mold
Where I can’t hold
The gold
Escaped my hands
Tight ropes
Keep me tied
The mind says no
The Ego, go, and
Hearts unheard divide
Do I really
See it clearly
Or do I read
Words and deeds
But miss the meaning
Out of reach
Do i really
See it clearly
Or do i read
Words and deeds
But miss the meaning
Out of reach
You
Caught me
Off guard
You
Haunt me
In my night yard
You
Caught me
Off guard
And all i can do
Is make this
My offer
To the world

DORMANT
Like seeds in the soil
Dreaming to be trees
(We are seekers)
Light speeds sightless
Down here in the deep
Trust the darkness
My friend
Don’t fear the unknown
Where ever you are, is
Where ever you grow
Dormant
I’ve been waiting
For the day
In the burrow
Deeply caved in
Resting pillow
Til the Icebird sings
Patience knows
That there is purpose
(Even in the wait)
Saplings swell
Under the surface
There is motion
Down in stillness
While the world
Above is rolling
Seeds in the soil
Dreaming to be trees
(We are seekers)
Light speeds sightless
Down here in the deep
Trust the darkness
My friend
Don’t fear the unknown
Where ever you are, is
Where ever you grow

DOWNHILL
Downhill
Downhill
Downhill
Downhill
Maybe I Won’t
Maybe I Will
Won’t slow
Down for
No one
Until
I reach the bottom
Earth and sky
They spin in circles
Cloudy marbles
Made of glass
Marmoured colours
Brown and purple
Dizzy mind
I smell the grass
Clover leaves
Under me
Grass staines
On arms and knees
I close my eyes
Counting turns
Spinning round
The edge is steep
Mama won’t call me in
To wash my hands
For dinner time
I lost count
Of when and how
Spinning round
I wanna climb
Up again
Downhill
Maybe I won’t
Maybe I will
Won’t slow
Down for
No one
Downhill
Until
I reach the bottom
