Oak and yew share sky

Where crocus and snowdrop dazzle

Wag tails pause for seed

Where fears spawn  our every thought

Singers are silent

Where all the notes choke for air

Poets are hopeless

Where I breakfast alone with you

Birds unite us

Of infinite evolution

I am a grain of sand

I am a tree

I am in all

All is in me

Leaving the Sun to light

a peaceful green

Where portly pigeons

Quietly peck their lunch

Before they like the wind

Take to the air

Could you please attend

to the hallway at no 5

As it’s not been cleaned in a while

The cleaner disagreed

Saying he couldn’t be held responsible

if the hall way was
a dumping ground
Adding

Perhaps

the Protest Movement

Needs to be aware

The world would be

Much happier

If we all cleaned

our own mess

The man on the stairs confided

I’m forever complaining
It’s the Climate Change people

They’re always dumping stuff

Desperate praying beggars

Refusing to let you go

The busy nurse

floats  monitors
By dawn we realized

Left you in peace

No goose no fat

Just an old man

No penny no hat

No mother no child

No stable no kings

Just a war torn Turkey

Flapping his wings

All over in peace

We bathe in you stillness

The breeze in the trees

We drink in your colour

Your splendour your ease

Wash us o moonshine

All over in peace

In this time of distruction

Starvation and pain

Where death is the dancer

And war the refrain

Will hate and division

For ever cease

Wash us o moonshine

All over in peace
