The Cycle
Daylight to Nightfall,
Around and Around….
Turn to the movie screen. Sit down and relax
Catching my breath….
As I step into the Golden Age
Breathless beauty, natural, fresh
Faces of innocence, strength and dignity
Beside me
Across from me
Everyone belongs
Everyone rules the self and the kingdoms are
Ruled by love
As love is law
Fresh, vital, clean and new
I find myself in Silver, still light, still bright…
Musicians in the huge courtyard lit like
diamonds
Create sounds
of magnificence and joy
A small orchestra honours and blesses
The passing, expiring of my elder relative
Crowns of gold
Are still handed down to kings and their
Queens
Who are like gods
Copper comes as a great celebration…
A reverence
Dancing red, singing purple, running green
Worshipping orange, salutations and sound
The cathedrals and temples we build
Are memories to the golden ancestors now
ghosts
In discovery of religions
We seek
The one God of all religions
In many blind places
As we dive into Iron…
The heart has sunk
The conscience bewitched
Grey, steel, sorrow, freedom lost
Grasping illusionary “mine”
Enchanted by mirages and shadows
We search and search more
Long lost
The sacrificial lambs
Sita taken by Ravan
Then…wonderstruck…almost hopeless
Diamond discovers us and a timely memory
begins to rise
Confluence pulls and the reborn soul
Comes into its own
The star of light is recovered
Alive
Now found
Deserts its amnesia of spirit
Time is come
To awaken and remember

' I have been writing poetry and short thoughtful pieces for as long as I can remember. Would love to pack it all into a book! There has always been a great love to write, and particularly in self expression through the choice of words. Poetry is another special creative medium to project feelings and emotions, and I like to think the writing will stir a heart or a mind. How wonderful it must have been in the courts of the great oriental kings when music and poetry were the favoured ways to unwind and lift the mood!'
