A Wisp of Steam

A Wisp of Steam

Slowly you rise
stretched thin
before their eyes
controlled by heat
moulded by fire.
Yet
you dear to defy
try to deny
your destiny.
Pride 
in your eyes
blind 
you do not see
the truth
you disappear
into thin air.

Let Go

Let Go

Don't
get confused
by fear
without reason.
Test
the spirit
see the truth.
Don't 
be dispossessed
by falsehood
and doubt
trust
believe
receive.
Stay
rooted
to the truth.
Don't 
lose heart
be faithful
be true.
Stay focused
on the light
chase away
deceptions
of the night.

The Fruitless Life

The Fruitless Life

Down a dark desolate lane
devoid of colour
forever grey
to a railway where 
no one comes
except the tramps
who pick at decaying crumbs.
The fruitless life...

The streams dried up
drought has taken its toll
and what once was new
is now old
and you sit in the cold
youth half decayed.
The fruitless life...

First fruit no more
that blossoms sure,
for all has been swept away
all perish.
The fruitless life...
