Modern Living

The worst thing about the ‘modern’ world is that it doesn’t allow you to take a moment and appreciate, just;

Being.

The air you breath, the sky above you, the earth beneath your feet.

All of these real and natural things pale in comparison to the ever imposed, falsified pressure of being a ‘modern’ human.

So, the next time you encounter a moment in which you are relaxed in nature. Live it, really soak it in.

And, just;

Be.

Soul-searching


We are all cut from the same cloth

Black or white. Pauper or posh

And as those veracious bubbles do froth

The truth always comes out in the wash.


Life’s banquet is seared with many decoys

Blue, well-done, medium and rare

You can never delect in the delicious joys

Without first tasting bitter despair.


It’s always the cruel that bloom and flourish

It beggars belief how the meek don’t inherit

We must first plant wisdom and courage

To stop them reaping from our own merit.


Because when life is unkind

And your ducks don’t stay in a row

Sometimes you have to lose your mind

To find your soul.


The Light


When you fear your future’s faded

When you’re growing grey and thin

When your chips have all been traded

And you feel you’ll never win


When you start to wane and wallow

In intrepid, toxic times

There’s a light for you to follow

A light inside you shines


It’s a light that fills your soul

And makes you who you are

Brightens the bleakest, blackest hole

Heals the deepest, darkest scar


In the corpus of commotion

Let that beautiful beacon beam

Across the unforgiving ocean

From the lighthouse of your dreams.
