The world wars
She doesn’t remember them
But she is not without empathy
The eulogies move her
Her wars were different
Fights for self-hood
Battles fought on so-called
Neutral ground
Nothing - no one -
Is neutral
We think we are
It’s an illusion
She stood her ground
Though knocked about
At times - without mercy
Battles won and lost
She has escaped into old age
Now the battle fields
Lie fallow
And so does she

Accept wise counsel
from precious stones
Not black coal
It does not auger well
for prophecy
Inquire instead
with lapis lazuli
Fall into her fathomless
cobalt blue depth
Ask where your soul mate
hides
Ask what truths need telling
Obstacles that can’t be seen
Sit beneath the mulberry tree
and beg her spirit teaches
you patience
Make no impetuous
decisions where love
is concerned
Walk softly as if
on eggshells
Lest your heart
break

Sleeping, waking, working
No job? OK not that then
Washing up, cleaning,
laundry, no pods, bad
for the kids,
No kids? OK, not that then
TV, tablet, computer, IPhone
Everybody always on
No IPhone? OK, not that then
Watching movies, best actress,
best actor, drama, romcom,
Theatres closed, no Netflix, no Prime?
OK, not that then
Partner, husband, wife, conjugal sex,
Single, hookup, boyfriend, girlfriend
No love life? OK, not that then
Walking, running, swimming,
Roller blades, scooter, skate board?
No? Not that then
So, what then?
What’s it then?
Ordinary life

Her homeland
A world within her
imagination
A place with amazing
aquamarine waters and
an azure sky
Viewed from her veranda,
fields alive with blue violet
fill her heart with renewed
faith and affection;
as she sits sipping her
corn silk tea and munching
on peach puff pastries
Indigo friends visit
in the afternoons
They come to awaken her
to new potentialities
that she cannot see
When they are gone she
sits and contemplates their wisdom
The night sky emblazoned
with a zilllion stars
This, her world, filled with
colour, grace, and beneficence
Her imaginary homeland
by the sea
Ellecee
Note
An Indigo is a person who has come into
this world to change, and spiritually awaken,
humanity

Who here has computer woes?
Are these help guys, friend or foe?
All instructions seem so vague
Sorting out’s a bloody plague
Now you’ve got it, now you don’t
First it will, then it won’t
Am I blind and fail to see
The dot or dash in front of me?
Oh, now I see, I found the clue
That reveals what I’m to do
I sigh relief and want to smile
But that wont happen
For awhile

Greysmoke, serene, restless, melancholy, grateful
Feeding hungry mouths
no easy task
These aggressive
babes in the woods
There is no
no
Demand is constant
I’m curious
Do they have any thoughts?
These mothers in the wild
Do they resent their
babes constant needs?
I think not
Given that,
a mother’s love
bears all

Seashell blossoms
on our magnolia tree
Sacrament of spring
with all her offerings
I refrain from
worrisome thoughts
as I breathe in the scents
It’s
an old cliche
that spring is for
new beginnings
Nonetheless
it is
and ever
will be
