Just a passing thought.

Imagine the ambience in the house
as Handel composed
‘Dead March from Saul.’

On being philosophical

At the best of times
perhaps in some of the worst,
poetry claims us

I did think of ‘calms us,’ but settled here.

Unexpectedly

Soft eyes touched his weary soul

Strangers passing by

When the thought is a feeling

Just had a wren fly in through the open door, land on my keyboard and fly out again, good start to the day.

Thought I’d share that little gem 🙂

Happiness

What makes you happy?
Life passes at such a speed
No time to answer?

See the printed word
That verse my thought reified
I am more, or less

existence, identity, thoughts, you

have an ‘in body experience’?
That sensation of being what you actually are;
an awareness
being carried around
atop a tower of bone, muscle
and general wobbly bits.
