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.

This morning I saw seagulls

By GlitterVegan -
This morning I saw seagulls, Far from the sea Circling the moon I can not tell the type of day I'm walking in to -  The Sun, on the other side, said it loved me But I have a stone in my shoe On the way to the station Change can be mysterious, it can be Frustration. I am far from the sea Circling the night - The only certain answer To a day of Question.  LJ Ireton 2023

Under the Sun

By -
My favourite thing to do When I sit Under the Sun, Is close my eyes, Warm my face and Remember each place I have done this before. Because even across the water, Or with scenery so changed, Sitting  Under the Sun, Is the one thing That feels the same.  C. LJ Ireton 2020

Fierce in the sky

By -
My spirit was swung low like a string hammock so I lay with it,  sunken under the hottest star to meld or fuse what it could.  I opened my eyes  to the sure, steady mind of a Red Kite, cutting through  finger-smudged clouds and all uncertainty - an ever-winning coin.  Under the relentless energy of the Sun And the set red bend of bone and feather, one strand pulled taut, alert again. I thought of poetry; the beautiful things forever flying fierce: star stripes, bronze birds, truth - all these strong lines  in the sky  are under my blood; my tired self is still singing.  LJ Ireton, 2024
