Waking with the dawn
Earthy smell of a rainstorm
Grief&love
curl&weave
Woven soul
What I could not say
My tears prayed
Gentle aqua wavelets
Memories drift past
Words come trailing later
Welcome guests to the chatter
Sentences adorn arches
Decorated entrance
open to new beginnings
Outstretched limbs
climb high
harvesting light
Emotions
metabolise & nourish
Memories stored within
tree rings
Blackened scar struggles
Fingertip etching
Stylus touching
paper thin ridges
Picking up vibrations on a disc
Timbered live tracks
Songs of growth
Written in their grain
In the quiet hours of daylight and daybreak
Dad I hear your voice
Don't cry,be brave
Restless,wandering mind like grains of sand
bouncing around the desert thirsty for past memories
To see,hear,feel you again
Reality pierces the illusion
to the moving present
To survive and live
Glimmer scatters
Glimpses of growth amidst the chaos
Emotional digestion of
the present
To focus on the process
Linear brushstrokes
Magical newborn streams of colour
drip &swirl
In a rippling dance of complexity & control
Intention in motion
Such is the verve of an abstract mind
Calm your mind
Ribbons of light and shade
enveloped by air
The sky infiltrates water
reflecting without judgement
Asymmetric pieces,chequered pools of past and present
Pieces of infinite possibilities
Choices you make in life
are not the final piece that makes the puzzle perfect
Weeping stars
bathe the darkness with light
Bloom between heartbeats
Blinkered by the past
Seared by the present
Wild dreams,river breeze
Singed veil drift away
naked solitude beckons
Celestial mirror
veined with cracks
Lure me in
Plush&sedate
Sweet soul nectar
Deliciously licked
Hold my hand
Stay close
Pulsing bouquet beneath the surface
As tendrils cling and release
Rising
Falling
Intertwining
Tinted weave of my mind
Atomised pigments
granulate
Permeate
Emotions anaesthetised
seeping
through slashed canvases
To be free from the sting of pain
Gravity spirals
Seeking to make art that grows with you
Resistance manifests
from lines of pull
Disentangling dysfunctional cords
Spinning
Life's sacred fable
Dampened by rain
Choreograph by breeze
Acoustic distress eased
Stained-glass shimmer
Casting and catching
a future vision
Most of us don't recognise subtle whispers of fate
Navigate across time's skylight
Breeze
A release of sighs
As javelins of light flutter
Perching on unreal space
racing hearts
Flying over trees with canopy shyness reining in their growth
Delicate balance between fate & free will
Pleated strands
Mountain's hem
Pierced by caves
Tattooed by sun
Opens my skin
Divine portal
Let it out
to heal
Boisterous winds
Ruffling storm clouds
Spluttering thunder
Soul hides in the pauses
Tumult of sights&sound
Calm ¢red
Shape shifter I am
Broken
Rebuilt
by water &dust
Hunting for Silence
Free to roam in my mind
The wildness of life can be tamed when trusted
Rhythm of stillness
Pizzicato string notes
As fingertips plucked blades of grass waving in the wind
Overture to my soul
Beneath my feet
filaments of twig pulsing
Savour the scent
Just be
Away from home
The journey begins within
Canopy of branches wrought-iron frame with a temporal twist
Open secret gateways to new experiences
A test of resolve &strength
Enhanced fatigue resistance
Endure compressive stresses in life
Removing deadwood
Allow new awareness to sprout
Trying to hide from grief
One sinks into a wilder,primitive version of oneself
daylight has shadows as companions
Seized by night
Born submerged
Like a dragonfly
emerging from murky waters
Before lifting to the light
To hover like a fable
Over lotus petals
Where idle dreams bloom
The realm of exploration is endless
Footprints we sleep in
Breakaway from the script of thoughts as it floats away
Capturing moonbows
As we sway to the briny adrenalin rush
Swirling in the ethereal realm
To access the library of the soul
Become unbounded
Witness the possibilities
Forget the worries of the day
Sing your song
Breaths from your heart
Feel textures of emotions
as fingers strummed rythyms of the soul
A vibration of peace and happiness
Close your eyes
Breathe light into your dreams
As the crescent moon
Carves through the darkness of the night
Time to let things go
Reflect on what you have built and shed what doesn't work
Bring peace and love into this new phase of life
Morning mist idly twirls
marbles the air
Kaleidoscopic mind continuously shifts
as nature held my breath
in infinite space
Vision of escape
erupts hastily from fluttering branches
on wings of the Monarch
Embracing each passing gust
like wind chimes
dancing to its woodland tunes
I remember
kissing your cold forehead one last time
World becomes a blur through teary eyes
Memories melt &resurface
Live in eternal winter of forgetfulness & loss
Crumbled &reformed
Warm breeze starts the thaw
Worries jagged at first
Smooth out over time
Melt &integrate
to shine
Recovering soul
The mind is strewn with foliage of calm
Silencing the night
Reflective thoughts
Like bashful fireflies penetrating deep in the wilderness
Play a game of
Hide and seek
Pulsing beacons
Heartbeat of the body electric
Spiritual cradle into which inner light is born
Swelling from tender buds to full bloom
Embrace you in darkness
Rejoice in the light
Petals ride the wind
Opens outwards
Expanding
Trusting
Risking
Moments enchained by passion
Roots thread and connect
Primal movement
Pure motion
Pure love
Passage of life
Soothing goodnight journey
Sounds of the departing wings of a dream
comfort the sleepy one
Sirens in the sea of the unconscious
sing a lullaby of light
Each verse
woven of gleaming moments
Textured shades as soft as angel wings streaking across the sky with a thousand promises
Mind wandering in waking to dreaming in sleep
Walking under the arcades of reflected light
Ignoring the enigma of time
Emotions soaring from vaporous shadows
Gusty wind
Lifting cloud of candy floss
Fine spun threads
Unravelling
Living in a construct
Or waking up to the real world
Mahogany dreams
Combustible aspirations
for rebirth
all coexisting in a monochrome symphony
Radiating sunbursts
Feather fractals of light
tracing summer's forgotten ecstasy
Autumn's foliage
surrender & let go
Only in a fall do
we see & cherish our true colours
Sun filled rapture
Lacerated sunset
Flowing crimson pulse
Calm of the sea
disturbed
A swell is born
Between waking &dreaming
My mind
constantly changing
project towards infinite possibilities
Soared volant high above
Only to curl back
Plunges into deep awareness
Breaking on shore
Compassion must flow in our veins
To connect & not divide
We share the air that keeps us alive
We are all here walking each other home
We are one
All children have the right to survive,to be safe,to belong and grow up with loving family
All children have the right to protection
Take refuge in waltzing heartbeats
Cherish the sharp sting of wind against your neck
A tangle of hair ribbons swirls and dances
Driven by a pendulum
Kept in motion
A timepiece
Repair and reconcile broken parts within you
Heart polished and emptied out
Never known a mother's love
Eyes that see duality of colours because life is beautiful & hard.What question does your life answer? No matter what challenges we face, we never quit our quest to answer it, we live by it. Even in our hardships we can't fail to see the beauty that exists around us. Be grateful
Wispy
winsome trail of faded memories writhe
through trees stripped of their cloaks
struggling with churlish winds
Time's charismatic movement
A wild thing
Ruffling through the drawing box of childhood
Avant-garde art bleeds beyond the margins
Feeling alone
A rebel ready to blend
Flick of a brush
Scattered butterflies take flight
Shards of colour
An array of sonic textures flowing and merging
in cathartic unison
Ever-shifting porous frontier
Collaboration between mind and machine
Everything begins and ends with the mind
The Singularity

Storm lingers
Tread carefully under
canopies of
lightning
bedewed with alabaster tears
tasting of fragrant fragility
Light & shadows dance
Illumines the
path of
destruction before creation
Thunder drumming
disturbs the night
Soul shaken to its depths
Struck by the light of faith
Staring into our minds
The tyranny of the clock intrudes
I'm wondering why we can't escape time
It escapes us
Unfurling from bare branches
Breathing in the innocent present
Following the march of the stars
Turning & twisting
Falling
To arrive and land where we are destined to be
Every moment is precious
Soul miles in crystalline maze
Mirrored surfaces
gestures towards fragility&infinity
Shattering obstacles holding one back in life
Lines of illumination arising from each shard
Nestles in our DNA
The shimmer
twists&turns
Luminous reality of eternal ideas
Ever-flowing movement of life
Breathe it in,taste the salt
Tides at sunset bring an audience to the stage
Pushed by prevailing winds
Primordial artists sculpting away under the sea
Ice
Reflect
Remember
Smile back at me with its true colours & dramatic veins
Feeling its numinosity
What if there's no denouement but a continuance?
A dark womb giving birth to
light & life
We are dust
Fugitives in the aftermath
Our story wrapped in
glassine paper jacket
time-lapse fabric
fold &wrinkle
Light caresses its edges
Breathing
Articulate space
As body & soul dialogues
Life is always flowing within and around us
Climbing
slippery face of time
Easily distracted
washed away by the downward effusion of the mind
Sunlight shines
A prism
Iridescent misty tears
Accept obstacles in your path
To become part of the process
Flashes of intuition &insight
Evergreens weave together
An invitation by wind to dance in swirling vortices
A scent trail
Earthy fragrance in
Wisps of smoke as the candle flickers
passing a blank page
creating mosaic of memories
Prayers rise
Lifting our wishes
Diffuses,purifies to bring tranquility and peace
Sunlight painstakingly brushed out the sutures of our burdens
Coalescing summer green memories
breathing in spaces of silence & sanity
Flock of thoughts
Free from nesting mind
Undulating dance
Swirls in arabesques
Entering the circle of petals
Melding into peace
Gif: GIPHY
The soul remembers
Embers at dusk
Wine stained
pressed against red lips
Unlocked heart
Wind chill bites
Winged eyelashes flutter
Tears fall
Pen speaks
Ink black curled strokes
Ephemeral&alive
wiped away in the blink of an eye
Song shaped soul
Drift away on a midnight blue river
Prayers build in my mind
Breakaway from monolithic thoughts
Untethered soul
Swimming
Inhaling sea mist
Murmuring heart begs for oxygen
The struggles you face
are not there to drown you
Rise above nebulous depths
Synchronised
Rhythmic breaths
A rosary is recited
Meditation of life
Fingers trailing
over fabric fluted memories
carved in marble
Feel change
Cracks in the wall of the familiar
Rogue wanderer
Adrift
in a boat cradling a lone occupant
Waves
Tremble
Capture
Release
Spliced into ribbons
whirling eddies
Stir &sip
The cathartic brew of
tethered sanity
Live life one moment at a time
space and motion disappear as time stops
Escaping the gravity anchoring you to past & future thoughts
Free to enjoy life in full flight
Rest in stillness and just breathe
Songs of the night
Surreal flickering shadows
give space a rhythm
Celebrate festival of lights
its shimmering strings
brass sounds
Nostalgic sleep
Sun wakes
dreaming of snow
Casting ethereal aura wherever it wanders
Accepting fate
tantamount to embracing a new chapter
A new day
It's a real challenge to separate yourself from your thoughts
An observer
not the observed
The quiet mind craves the rain
Moisture blessed
Cluster of blossoms
stands proud
Timeless
blurred
snapshots of now
Spent light in every breath
Petals of youth
Final pluck to know the truth
Crossing of a tightrope
Shuffling with fear
Constant flux between balance and imbalance
Values such as democracy, equal rights & respect for all
Architecture of utopian ideals
Concrete reality
Ripping rags of privilege
Now washed and illuminated
Woven in harmony
This is justice
Nature and creatures of this world are not to be destroyed like an enemy or exploited in the name of progress
The greatest legacy we leave this world is not breaking the web of life that connects us all
To have compassion
To give a powerful voice for conservation without cruelty
Fate plays its melody
Leading us along curves of sonic sculpture
Shattered by chords
Engulfing rhythm
plunges us into the infinite cascades of time
As the sun &moon enters the mountains
We dance
Navigating &adapting
Thoughts step forward& backwards
Moving moments of the present
Sweeping vista
Blue velvet sky
adorned with diaphanous white sashes
Come sweet rain
Catch the rising sun
Glinting
Glittering
my mind
with infinite possibilities
Reflected in glass
lozenges of light
A maze of many paths
What hides behind them
Can we see from inside
what is outside
Newborn
crowned in stardust
nebula hair swirls
Smiles
listening to
tales of
creation&destruction
love&transcendance
Crickets humming
Chords float
Wind blows
Seed pioneers arrive
Earth grows flowers
We build houses
Vernacular architecture
Space quenched by time
A draught of giants
#Rambling
slumber
breathed a drowsy freshness
Clouds dreaming of dry spells
wake up dancing with currents
Spin&soar
Swing &sway
to the beat of a lover that never dismay
Sinuous
Serpentine
Rainbow
body
touched by the sun
Shed the past
Forget the future
Fall into the moment
#vss365
Love enveloped me
caressing my consciousness with tranquility
Feel purged by vibrant rays
Dark in the light
to light in the dark
Bruising time
Textured skin crackled to a rough finish
prompt your fingertips to gentle inquiry
Sun sets over moon
Blinded intimacy in the hungry dark
Live our life not bound to earth, no distinct boundaries
We walk in rain
to endure the storm
We walk in the sun
Feel the warmth
Life is change
Gains and losses
Carriers of moods
Changeable swarm of emotions crystallise
Surrender and acceptance
A smile radiates from the heart
Our arms interlocked
Jagged blades slough off the layers of urbanity
till we stand silent on the edge
Shifting embrace
The vibrant sun
its crackling pulse felt in the soothing melt
Cherished memories surface
Talismans of the soul
reflected in your loving eyes

Some days grief
pins you
Encloses you
Inescapable longing
Something the world can't satisfy
A roiling current
Hoping not to be swept under its intensity
Breathe
Remember
Soft soothing blues
Sunlight dances beneath the water
leaving white footsteps on stone
As memories ebb & flow
We dream of eternity
beneath the quaking leaves
Falling
Embracing the ending as if it is a beginning
Raspy
dessicated wind dries
our tears
Amber toned
Reminiscent
glow of the setting sun
Feeling alive with iridescent hues
Embedded layers
Breathing
Pulsating
like an open flower
The labyrinth draws me in and offers hope
To encounter
havoc of lighted pathways
where memories meet
Weary steps over
cobblestone
Its earthy tones of comfort sing to me
A place where trials bear gifts of the spirit
Retire to one's heart
This castle
my home
my soul
Escape to the stars
Hall of mirrors shine
Visual fireworks ever shifting and refracting
Displaying virtuosity singing the same songs
Fate spirals
Lost in a void where nothing is still kind of something
Light guides us to new beginnings
Searching for fulfilment
A new home
#inkMine
Healing
a process of clearing out trauma imprints
Its wavy marks within the social space like flaky pastry layers
Time laminates
Mingling past &present
Clouds of cocoa dusted memories fall
Tasting bitter-sweet
Eloquently silent
To feel salvation thread through fissures in rock
Searching for answers
sunlight touches the horizon
Dusky graffiti erases blue from the sky and orange from the sun
Dandelions of twilight
Wind with its breath
gave me wishes
Punctuated by chance
Disperse seeds of hope and dreams
Incubates
Patiently waiting for dawn
To awake
Sleeping mind
pause &puzzle
Exhale in warm russet
Moving leaflets
through the chaos of centrifugal vortex
Vermilion cyphered hymns
Is our existence
a mere shadow of a more profound reality?
Visibility is porous as we paint dimensions
Seeking closure but
finding disclosure instead
Grief of the elm tree
Anguish given form
Bent over with weight
Life holds a strength
Tenancy of overgrown wood
Wake up,sleepy dragon
Hues of emerald scales
Winged bark on a chasm
Threaded frills of intersecting ridges
Clung to crag
crack open the constraints
Bridging gaps to live
In the bruised sky
burning edges wink
As we share hidden intent
Tunnel of crackling ember
dripped time
Gossamery sundial
Our souls align
Inevitable &divine
Feelings reaching out
Tendrils ablaze
A blinded gaze
Deep within
I know
This fleeting moment
has my โค๏ธ
turned night into day
Rock of belief transforms into a mountain of certainty
Parting earth and sky with its symmetry
Stairway of water and ice falling,shifting under gravity and lifted by wind
Calms the mind and balances the soul
Persevere
Never stop climbing because
progress is made by moving forward
Life is a wound in chaos
Polychromatic blades radiating outwards cut skin deep
Hearing a chanteuse's emotionally charged voice up-tempo beats of crunching snow
salted with elements of the blues
Vibrations of colour
Brings fire to the soul
Gather ashes to be reborn
Release to heal
Finger prick
Iron scent
Red liquor
Savour complex flavours
of language
Letters that spiral in blossoming forms
Its sequenced heartbeat line pulses of birth & transformation
Living diary weave tales
past & present
Personal vision terrain
lights up from dormancy
Liberate
to express
Dancing on air
Tendrils curl tight
Good evening, Primrose
We wait for permission from the moon to bloom
Sharp teal leaves are courtesies
#Hearken
to the ardour of grace
blazing
#bleached
white & yellow
Sweeten scented tongues
entice nighttime wanderers
Whisper
We go
where we grow
What's life about,if anything?
Clouding of the eyes
Being ripped apart in a universal vortex
Unceasing motion
without beginning and without end
Feeling wrapped around in knots
at every twists and turns
Hope
An aspirin
To expand the possibilities
Birthplace of a positive future
Drifting
in the liminal space between dreams&wakefulness
Flower pressed between pages
Lattices of golden leaves
Shuffle
to songs of the wind
Echoes of the past linger
Intrepid hope
Its sharp blades push through earth
threading time fabric
A dynamic force
Static cling of polyester
Wake up within a dream
Entangled in a vibrational reality
Blushing strands of embroidery floss
Spinning
rippling
Feels real
A mindful construct
Carrying living language of memory imprints
tapestry that draws you through a portal
Another phase
Another space
Another realm
#inkMine
Cellular memories released Multihue glass pebbles thrown into the sky
To withstand the heat of the kiln
Tamed by fire
Soft&fluid
blood percolating through
Fractal lattices
Bond forged through struggles
Cold cast unbreakable spirit
Shine
Where imperfection&fragility are celebrated
Your own seed of potential
lies deep within the core
In spring it comes softly, subtly
Release from the deepest depths
Velvet lace of petals unfolding
A promise of hope and rebirth
Wings of light
Escape the shackles of the chrysalis
Freedom needs courage
Dancing with white silk veils
Tender kisses to blooms that pushed through sun-drenched soil waiting eagerly to be seen
Glimpses of my journey home
A miracle
The greatest poetry one's soul will ever know
We run
We fall
Looking for familiar exits
The trembling glitch of the mind
Buffering like a video screen
Rotating shutter interrupts the light of the projection
The mind goes to sleep in the heart
Clicks and clacks as the key turns
Don't look back no matter what

Listen
Fingers touching keys
Trying to remember
Choices made in life
Lay bare
on a platter of black and white
Hear eternal echoes
tease out haunting essence
Floating pixie dust of hope
Debussy "Clair de Lune" on Piano for 80 Year Old Elephant / Paul Barton
A birthday gift from my fatherโค๏ธ
Beautiful flurry of white,its centre hollow tube receiving messages of love, protection,and sending prayers to heaven.
"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge. His truth is your shield and armour." Psalm 91:4
As the sun glints through linen curtains
Soft breeze ruffle with scent
Slightest whisper of woods &musk
Stare into infinite space
constellation of my sane heart
glimpse of unconditional tenderness
Love hits us unveiled
Laying waste in the debris of our desires

inner compass whirling
Spinning textured patterns shaping my existence
The joys
The sorrows
Moments of transformation
Tapestry of mental paint
Tailored confessions
#atone
for every heartache &sin
Cut &paste
Space &pace
Piece by piece
Fragments of societal mosaic
Wipe tendrils of stardust tears
An optical illusion
Entangled particles of light
Melanin of one's eye
Blinded by the flame
Luminous seed creation
As darkness gives birth to light
Flung to the void
Growth begins
Separate & connect
To truly live
A new life in uncharted territories
