Contemplate stillness
It is following the breath
Serene path to light

No one is perfect
but sow bad seed and wait for
the bitter harvest

Happiness, like fog
is so difficult to grasp
Shifting states of mind

Poem: Through the Window
In the cool still air I hear
dogs bark in the distance;
a clockwork train hoots through
on the old main line.
The turning willow hangs limp,
a sombre backdrop to the washing
which never had a chance to get dry

Poem: Fall Back
Fall back, spring forward.
The motions of a dynamo
in the sky all around,
unsuspected by all those
who walk around blindfolded,
as if awaiting execution.
