Trailing Thoughts, …

To dream a dream in darkness of night,

to follow its trail, a wisp of smoky white.

To fly over the Earth, look down, so small,

giving wonder, does anything matter, at all.

The dawn of time, ‘til the dawn of change

what matters is life,

in natural rearrange.

Moonlights Stare, …

Dark path lit by moonlights stare,

on you stumble, unaware

of eyes that watch as you go by,

creatures in the dark they lie.

‘Tis their time, cloaked by night

wildlife hunts, it is their right,

do not linger on your way,

your time is done,

your time is day…

Hedging Your Bets, …

“Are you ready to meet your maker? ”
I heard the voice say,

It gave me quite a shock

so I didn’t answer straight away,

It made me think & ponder

about things I’d yet to do.

So, I still held my tongue,

well really, …

wouldn’t

you?

Ghost Ship, …

AS the plumed waves rushed towards the shore, 

under the gaze of the desolate moon, 

the ghost ship sailed on one quest more

its path lit by the moonlights gloom.

Many long years they’d sailed the seas, 

Done evil things to forever regret

ignored all their victims plaintive pleas,

they were cursed to never forget.

For a hundred years they served their time,

kept from life, forgetting its pleasure,

no crumb to be eaten, water tasted like brine

only thus could they pay full measure.

They traversed the seas by starlit charts,

long gone worlds had died to light

their quest to their final resting place,

the ghost crew would find peace tonight.

🏴‍☠️. Touches of Pirates Of the Caribbean, …

Loved the films, …seen them all, …Must watch them again, 🏴‍☠️

Diamonds, …

What are we, …do we merely dream?

Where are we, …is life purely seen?

Do we tread a new path learning as we go,

or are we constant visitors,

adding to what we know.

Life can be as diamonds,

an illuminating light,

making visible

the path

we assume

to be right.

Replenish, …

I bid thee good day traveller,

art thou sorely in need of a drink?

Do thy bones feel tired, weary,

craving a soft bed in which to sink?

Thy journey seems fraught, endless,

a quest of memory long gone.

Pray rest, sit, take repast.

once replenished,

thy soul

can

journey

on…

Eternal Battle, …

 The flame, it burns eternal, mere mortals have no say.
We are born, so thus we die, ’tis rightly written this way.
The battle, ‘tis never over
for neither side truly wins.
Good or evil cannot conquer,
they are forever co-joined as twins.
