Modern life.

-
Philosophies, atropies,
Items of necessity
Willows and meadows
Industry and commerce.





Our work shy
Our bothered
By illness and callus
The student, the worker
The earner
The driven
Who squeeze every penny
From cups never empty





The never ending chalice

That refills aplenty
While the drones collect the scrapings
Embittered with longing
Diversity
And loving
Massaging the egos
Everything costs.






Choices aplenty





Necessities abundant





Regarded by some
As fairly repugnant
Employer
Provider
Bread on the table?

I'll work when I can
But only if able.





It is not my humanity
That causes such ferocities
It's fiscal and emotional
And
Economical
Often radical



But never allowed to simply be
Anthropological


Water and shelter
Shade from the Sun
Succulent foods
Weans propagated


Not chasing a tail


As aspirations sail


Too fast too catch


Human legs are no match





If you never stop





One day you might drop





Life is for living
And about giving
Following dreams
Imagining schemes
Experiences measured
In choice
With considering
Can I achieve
Are my hopes withering





Industry moves politics are necessary
Enterprising individuals
Deserve to be winning
In no fairy tail
Would their lives
Ever be sinful


Be considered to be hurting
The folks in their charge



If you treat them with dignity they won't
Go on a march
Not standing together
The classes may clash.

The soft sand ridden muddy path Under my feet Is cushioned for me by sturdy black boots Sloppy, slick slimy navigating as every part of my leg plays a part in keeping me upright Sinews twist, the cramping ageing muscles uncomfortably held in kilter Heading for home Light retreats The ever arriving daily dusk clocks in I can't see the car quite yet. This place takes me away But only for a short time Drudgery Routine Work Though enjoyable Wears at one Through time, burdened by the worries of others Chinks appear, cracks of darkness on a golden life Wandering, watching  twigs may snap Wind blown pine trees sing in high pitched terror Birds dart Rabbits unseen? But for borrows Buzzards soar A red kite adorned a fence post Squirrels elusive Watching Just in case I might see one race by Even in the periphery of either eye A busy head is a safe head? Freedom from worries Eating and gnawing Snatching at anything that will offset these thoughts Let th

Physgill. Watch the swiftly feeding swallow Sun outside But not it in the hollows Of the shrubs and the greenery Fresh cut lawn Hydrangea, Rose Honeysuckle aroma The fields with the peas, A sea of swaying green Moves like an ocean The sound of the trees Moved and being shaken By the summertime breeze Cattle in the drive way Pheasants shouting loudly The deer are cautious Barn owls swoop in darkness Caught by car lights Badger scurried across the road Foxes rare The game keepers gun. A lamb down a tree trunk Discovered by Rosalind Pulled out by a farmer Care for injured falconry Rescued for love Of all that was around us The freedom The tranquility The sea and the solway Not too far away The Glen with her garlic Appetizing rambling Down to the shore Where pebbles and boulders You arrive at the bay. The cave has a host A man in a smock Ninian the monk Later canonised Who sat in meditation Considering faithfulness Sheltered from harm. C

Be all.

Positivity explodes from every pore Despite my doubters This year I'll do much more More for others if I am able More for my family Food for our table. Be all Be everything Reach for the star's Grab opportunity When it comes along Don't be fearful of anything If you can't see it It's not there Resolutions are a misnomer Bound to fail unless Heroically striving You can drag your self from bed Failure makes you hurt inside Disappointment is the foe When February roles in Defeated You'll weep inside Lie low Avoid the gaze, the question's About The intentions you shared before So this year I'm not trying to change dramatically My aspirations will be tempered Measured in a way My mind is set to a default I've probably had before Self doubt is now the enemy Belief in me is raw Attraction Is the focus Bring it to myself Ignore the dampened shadows That have me running scared True to me and the possibility That wha
