I am a free spirit –

I go where the North winds take me,

whilst the restless dried leaves tumble and fall,

the bitter breeze blows,

calling them.

 

I am in no man’s land –

free as the mountain streams,

following gravity’s pull to conditionality,

quietly seeping to the core,

deep down, calcified,

no one knows me,

no one owns me,

being a free spirit,

is lonely.

Starry Night Van Gogh

When you left,

you took us all with you,

the old, the young,

the Saints and the Sinners.

A gaping chasm,

left in your wake.

Three decades of grief,

the tides of loss,

your fall from grace,

as you plummeted us all,

into oblivion.

Yet – you shine brighter,

and more fierce,

than any star,

I’ve ever seen.

Parting Sorrows

English: Train station in Łeba.

 

 

 

 

 

The heartbreak of each new parting,

makes me wonder why we say hello.

It leaves me unsettled and wanting,

though I try so hard not to show,

the pain in my heart of the parting,

each bittersweet delaying farewell,

leaving me reeling and hurting,

cast back to my solitary hell.

How can I tell

you what to do

when I am more

messed up x 2

 

How could I tell

you how to be

when I am more

unsure x 3

 

How can I hope

you love me more

when I am so

alone x 4

 

How can I live

this lonely life

when I am with

my grief x 5

The moon and the vine.

I show the shadows of your life;

you grow, and you smother.

I hide, my shadows cover

what I ought to be.

Do you not see the chill of my light,

reality shown cold and bright?

Tranquillity is my solace,

loneliness my best friend.

Leave me to counsel the stars,

and I will leave you to clothe the earth.
