Watching  Watching  Sea creatures Of the deep on TV In awe of their complexity They build a community These tiny fish  Coloured with intellect Yet humanity's disconnect Puts them on plates Eating The stills of reality. Copyright LJ 2017

Milk Get up little one I've licked you clean You can stand now Stand by me. Your eyes are mine My milk is yours Take shelter Under me. I call to you Because the men They take you Stay with me And on my own All I know then Is the space where You should be.   Copyright LJ 2017

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.
