At the Feet of Nature

As the train rode along the tracks, Smoothly, and oddly without tremor, I seen countless leaves, trees, bushes, and Branches. All mixed in a myriad of autumnal colour. I found myself in a state of awe, as I Suffered the desire, a daydream of leaping Into careless, living nature Gripping at leaf and branch as …

Departure, in through the trees and up into the light

Opening small eyes, she looks to her left and rightShaking off dawn dew, small water droplets fly off her feathers‘Mother said today is the day, time to leap, time to fly’Walking bow-legged towards the edge, away from warm leaves and pointy twigsLifting up wings, painted in blues, her chest shone gold in the morning lightFlapping …

Sudden Rain, a Dream that Lies Within

Love casts its light in a room so pale, and shrouded in shadows, black and blind. Before love made its grand and flamboyant entrance, light that had reflected off joyous life had filtered in through the cracks and opened doorways to that cold and dark room every now and again Making the room less cold, …

One Candle for One Wish

Twenty-six years ago today I had been born as a fresh, blue-eyed, and hairless baby. I suppose a lot of people had come to see what I had come out like. Was I small and feeble, or larger than assumed? Did I squeal, have a raspy cry, or was I eerily quiet? Did I appear …

Evening Sets, Enter Night

The smell of seasoned potato masks the air in a tempting aroma, While grey clouds try to push their way through wooden blinds But are halted by the warm glow that emanates from the soft light of the kitchen. Voices from out there in the town echo up into my space, and reminds me that …

Rushing into the Mirage of Tomorrow

Anticipation pulls on my jacket, and the pull only grow stronger, almost ripping the material at the seams. Patience is not with me here in this moment, she must be off somewhere else, or in hiding due to the fierce presence of this restless anxiety that pops up throughout my day just in case I …

A Dream that Glowed, and turned Inside-out

I began to walk towards a strange door, large and painted white. The colour seemed almost pearlescent as it shimmered ever so slightly in subtle gleams of light. I pulled down on the handle and beheld the most strange sensation, it felt familiar, and as soon as my feet stepped onto the cold marble the …

Gentle Plumes of Feather, Light

A fustling of feathers, Take off with wings into flight. Wind pushes against the creatures small body, She takes a left turn, onto a swift right. The moon sinks behind ink blotted clouds, Dark is the sky that all life sleeps under. Except for the arrival of birds, that fly as one Seeking shelter, desiring …

Falling Away into the Forest Leaves

I wrote this a few years ago, when I dreamed that leaves were pieces of magic, and worlds beyond our own existed. May I dream again. Walk with me, take my hand Fall through leaves to the dark lands. I want to believe in another place, Where the crows come calling to take us away. …

Taking a Moment

It's raining There's a slight breeze Brick wall on the outside White wall on the inside Trains slow into the station the sounds of their wheels click-clacking on the tracks. One or two people walk by. Rain splatters on the window, Raindrops in the puddles that pool here and there on the road. The rain …
