you sheltered the flame
so she could pattern the night
now the sun shines through
and pierces your dark centre
while the flame sleeps
small songs #7 (2021)
Month: January 2022
small songs #6 (2021)
so much potential
curled into such a small space
your rich colours compressed
waiting to reveal themselves
to unfold and face the sun
small songs #5 (2021)
looking out over a calm bay
to a soft sky
the horizon sits quietly
the spine of a thin book
an untold story
small songs #4 (2021)
so many tiny windows on the world
what do we see?
be careful of getting too close
the edges of a tight, limited personal viewpoint
can be sharp and painful
better to stand back
and take in the whole view
small songs #3 (2021)
softly, quietly
that which is formless takes shape
the centre swells, the skin tightens
the essence of roundness
the promise, the potential, the abundance
small songs #2 (2021)
enter the green world
which path will you take?
they all lead to the centre
they all lead to the edge of knowing
where the world turns
green and orange and purple
invisible necessity
