I dream't one night that I had taken a fall Spinning as I plummeted Out of control I fell from a mountain From way up high From then on my friends I was sure i would die. As I fell, the mists parted The green land below Rushing towards me Not soft and inviting But harshly defining Sudden and bold  Downwards I rolled The green lands exploded Coming up soon They were all that I could see Straight ahead And Peripherally The sky now a memory Of the few left to me. Arriving too fast The imminence of endings I breathed in my last The danger in falling From such a great height Adrenaline proxy Futile attentions Secreted Inside Just at that moment Before the pain arrived The alarm clock awoke me Hearing, In life Prologue: They say dreams are worries Unravelled inside Symbolic representations Of anxieties you hide I once dreamed of love The purest in form A woman, tall and slender Who ...

I wake up every day Glad to be alive Each breath I take I experience fully Still breathing I haven't died The monitor beeps here beside me The graph goes on and on Measuring every aspect That tells them that I'm here I heard them speak the other day As around me they all stood My children, wife and parents Tried their best to be understood A flicker caught An eyelid opened A word escaping dry dry lips An increasing heart rate An exhalation Sitting up would make them run If only I could tell them That I'm here behind this wall Soundproofed by an expert They wouldn't hear me Should I ever call The doctors send the nurses To check for any change I feel the coldness of the steel As stethoscopes listen in. They strangle my arm with BP machines They are sure that I'll survive But just for now confidence shakes For I am barely here, Inside I am conscious Of all that passes me by I hear the ...

If I explode with rage What difference would it make Laughing in the face of of adversity Would I be any safer Cry in pools of sorrow Would I be noticed and supported through it If I was invisible To eye and to ear If I were to shout and not be heard Screaming from the bottom of my lungs My distress falls unnoticed Frustration about injustice Concern for others Caring and humanity What does it matter If I am to be perceived as a silent voice by Those who do not listen Beauty IS visible The splendour of the natural world Imaginations captured By the simplest flowering plant Explosions of colour Cannot be ignored Seen by all Or Heard by those who listen As the owl announces her location The free, unchanged rural world She soars above our prison Miles from Cardboard cities Famine, Death Wars and Crime Hidden from view By apathy and disbelief The beggar Cup outstretched Pennies for food Under bridges ...

The sun comes up each morning It happens every day Sometimes her heat is hidden If the sky is full and grey When she shines upon us Her heat it soothes and heals Whenever we feel low in mood She warms us anyway Yesterday I caught her As she slipped behind the world Out of sight Arrived the night Clear sky stars way high Filled me with there splendour Every star above is unique Just as people are on earth The guiding lights above us Astronomers of old In life each day is different Even if they feel the same The humdrum of the office Or the commute on the train Life is always changing We move on as the weeks pass Decisions made for good or bad Resolved in time we hope The sun decides its morning She tells us dusk has come The cosmos does not lie She'll be there every morning So far tomorrow comes Even when full of sorrow If sadness fills your heart The rising star will shine on you Each step tow...
