Is there a place beyond the stars?

The Morning Light

Is there a place beyond the stars?


With no trace of cities or cars


Where light does not cast a shadow


And life's not so fast and shallow


Where there is just one tree of life


That forever grows free of strife


In all directions spiral out


The celestial branches about


Where each little leaf does unfold


So that creation can be told


And all the roots are intertwine


Across the parallels of time


With the right and wrong, meek and strong


Creating a celestial song


The pillars of creation grow


Out of darkness for light to glow


And will explorers one day find


Such a thing within a child's mind


And find the future and the past


And all the fusion and the mass


That lights the million suns of night


In life of little ones of light


For could we be beyond the stars


When we ponder within are cars.

Let the bubble pop

Mayflower oil on canvas
~

Let the bubble pop

And let the pound drop

For England will be free

Upon the deep blue sea

Free from the Liberal dogs

That brought the foreign gods

Of all that greed and lust

That turns beauty into dust

And we will once again

Stand as British men
~
This poem is dedicated to all those poor souls that have been out in the wind, rain and snow on strike for British jobs for British workers.

No Time

watercolour and ink
~


The stars have the night


To delight


Beauty has the Earth


To give birth


And birds have the sky


just to fly


And fish have the sea


Just to be


But I have no time


Just to rhyme


And I wonder why


With a sigh
