I have had enough
the enemy is with me
sitting on my hands
All of us living Hamlets
Damned which ever way we turn

Flowers by themselves
bloom without trying or care
They are all in tune
To grow strong within nature
How else could we truly be?

Though I’ve doubted you
you have been patient with me
I sense the small voice
the calm disguising your care
We are steps along the way

They’re still going down
Our house is put in order

Why was I born now?
Mere chance or is it my fate?
Unanswered questions
A pristine hall of closed doors
Reveal the unbending road

It was the best time
Endless summers before school
just mum, cat and me
Our art of simply being
beat the toil of becoming

Tanka: The Church Reigns

Cold walls and incense
the church is a special place
Though colour is gone
the imagination reigns
to outshine secular worlds

I have had enough the enemy is with me sitting on my hands All of us living Hamlets Damned which ever way we turn
