Meandering Mind

My mind tumbles through the silence
The only noise
Wind
No cars
No planes

Even the birds are resting
Is everyone taken lunch time naps now?
Not even a lawn-mower
Which so viciously
Cut through the silence on Sunday

I had four coffees already
Yet tiredness becomes impossible to fight
Shall I sleep
Or do my one-a-day
Go out
Get moving
Keep moving

Keep living

Where did this come from
The living
Thing
Is movement life?
Is resting non-life?

Limbo
Life on hold?

What’s wrong with a nap anyway?

A car cuts through the silence after all
But wind swallowed the noise
And is taking over
The roof beams creak
Quietly though
As if aching with age
But trying to hide it

I should wash my face
And then let the wind
Blow away the cobwebs
Of my meandering mind

Outer Hebrides: Alone

Everybody is alone onto themselves
That’s the dichotomy of being
We are social but nobody truly knows the other
All we negotiate is a common story

Fallen

Fallen
Eons ago

Lonely
Now

Sacrifice
Labour
Hardship

Blood
Sweat
Tears
Pain

Still
Lonely
Lost

Searching
Stony path

Stumbling
Forward

Ever forward

Sunshine

Sunshine is tumbling down
In rays through clouds
It falls on rolling hills
What a cliché!

It bounces of humble bumble bees
Tickles my skin and makes me sneeze

Sunshine rains from blue sky
In torrents onto the grass
It drums on green leaves
I am all pathos!

And yet it doesn’t reach my heart
Apart, apart, apart
