OCD (3) You stare Your eyes say done Your brain says not  So you stay From the fear that you failed You must undo the knot  In your brain To breathe easy You repeat And repeat  And you do it again. Copyright LJ 2017

Life   If we saw life as children do, Light would let the spectrum through We’d find surprise in tiny things – Flower petals or fairy wings? Sand would become sparkle dust, Forest dwellings wanderlust. We’d seek the unicorns in the trees And feel their magic in the breeze – See all the animals as miracles too, Offer them tea cups, as children do. Copyright LJ 2017 From Eden

The World is a Cat The world is a cat – Her belly, the ocean The land marks her back – A forest in motion The waves of the moon Are found in her eyes, The stripes of the trees Run down her side In one perfect jump, Fierce and softness collide Yes, the world is a cat – Fire and water, combined.

My Ark There need be no flood,   No water around   For me to build my ark. There is danger enough On the expanse of our ground For me to make a start. No spears, no knives, no guns No greed Will come aboard this ship. All kinds of kind Will sit inside While man’s cruel reign still drips. Copyright LJ 2017    From The Gold Leaf
