Mining for Meaning

At the end of the cliff we seek diamonds and gold These winding stony caverns and the secrets that they hold The mountains roots grow rich and deep We must gather all we can before the final sleep Atop a dragons hoard at last we lie With bloodstained treasures we finally die

Prose

It’s always been a tragedy We were always doomed to fail Our future shattered in our hands It was never going to happen Our end was writ in deepest stone There wasn’t any other way

Lighthouses

One day all the people will sing the same song On top of the mountain and all through the fog From the shores of the ocean to deepest of woods Return home, and let home be good

March

The snow drifts sourcelessly Meandering through the air It speaks of hope are freedom in its icy tongue Of sweet relief from summers heat, from dying beneath the sun Take caution in the gifted frost The timing and the way of it Reveals our deep despair The way is blocked, the past is gone And all the omens read, Beware

Golden Fields

A blue night could be a dream come true Away from the lying sun The fairies come and whisper Friendship blooms in the rain Our underwater castle A gift shared between us two

Finte

A gentle breath From living art A chain unbound A thread unraveled Time warps and changes Seek the meaning in decay

Long after dusk The clouds hold close the burning fire A reflection of our own desires An omen of what is to come

A stranger you pass by on the street Could be a friend you never meet A cliche perhaps But true

Otter for the joyous one

Dragonfly and Butterfly for unexpected power Snake for those who lay in wait Fish for those who fail to reach higher Wolf for the hunt Cat for the kill Crow for the victor Deer for a lone survivor Bird for those lightfooted and swift Bat for the seer Weasel for the trick Rabbit for the innocent Frog for their song Bear for those that've risen again Turtle for the hermit Crane for grace Monkey for the lost Fox for the theif Tiger for the shadow in darkest night Whale for the silence of those long gone

Little Deaths

From the bone white flower Comes the bloody moth The fireworks cackle in the night A ring of ice creeps round the city Golden flowers sell in markets Surrounded by tomes of yore Among the stars the healers shelter Guarded by dark bloody knives The hidden watchers countdown Bells toll on and on
