The Touch of God
We need to do so little really
To experience God
Simply, be still and become aware.
Notice your Lord. Feel your Lord.
Experience the sensations.
There is God.
Experience God. Allow God to be.

Understanding
Do we understand
anything?
When soy products are promoted
as healthy
yet growing soya destroys
carbon sinks
Do we understand
anything?
When cyclones and blizzards
storm surges
destroy people’s homes
and livelihoods
Do we understand
anything?
As extreme weather events
continue
and we footsie around
the real issues
Do we understand
anything?

Getting Old
I once thought
turning 30
was getting old
sore back
teenage years
long gone
but today
my brother
turns 70
while I remain
a sprightly
13 years younger
So, what’s old
and, how do we
define it?
Is it
in
the eyes of the beholder?
Old and decrepit
hair turning grey
past it
are all phrases
used
to describe
anyone
older
than oneself
which suggests to me
that
getting older
is much more
a state of mind
than
what actually
and invariably
happens

On Death And Grieving
Tears flow
As they must
Laughter shared
Through stories told
Questions asked
Reveal no answer
Except in faith
And hope and love
Music soars
In voice and sound
Emotions heightened
Via violin
Saxophone, piano
Memories abound
The past
Is for giving thanks
The future
Is uncertain
But held together
By the present
As friends
And family
Grieve and rejoice
At the same time
United
In hope
And belief
And memory

Hard Work
Hard work
Reaps reward
Which may be
Small & insignificant
In the eyes of
The world
But which is
Life changing
When applied
To the right situation
