“In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest
where no-one sees you, but
sometimes I do, and
that sight becomes this art.”
― Rumi

Lockdown new year

As thoughts of love

gather in wrinkles 

of time and skin


Memories float

gently down - 

moon daisy petals

settling softly into

our smiles  


Our old selves

huddle close 

around campfires

making room 

for new faces 

oddly familiar 

behind masks 


Let us rejoice 

drawing lines 

In flowing water,

slowly wearing 

our soul stones down 


Let us pause

a lingering moment 

To look both ways

in our hall of mirrors 

Pondering the

End of old beginnings 

And the beginning 

of new ends 


Let us aim to 

Be less human,

better, kinder,

Less selfish perhaps

like other animals

Running wild and free


Until we pause again

To review,

Reassess,

recalibrate


Let us remember,

Looking out from 

Our little bubbles, 

Our non overlapping

Venn diagrams,


That in this world

of us vs them,

there are no others 


Have a happy new year
