Takin time

Posted on by celfypridd

Take time to weigh this all up

who speaks for me and mine

anybody watched a donkey

or a man on the tread wheel

take time and take it all in

people want what you can give

if you give it too freely

they’ll take it for what their lives

are worth or so they think

but today who speaks for me

and mine and us and you

is the real question

so brothers and sisters

sit back take a deep breath

don’t jump through hoops

Take time and take a deep breath.

I and Thou

“Feelings dwell in man; but man dwells in his love. That is no metaphor, but the actual truth. Love does not cling to the I in such a way as to have the Thou only for its ” content,” its object; but love is between I and Thou. The man who does not know this, with his very being know this, does not know love; even though he ascribes to it the feelings he lives through, experiences, enjoys, and expresses.”

Martin Buber, I and Thou

Blossom

 

Looking out from the 700 foot contour

rain kissed the barest touch of grey mists

on hills in distant woodland patchwork

each tree reveals hued leaves and buds

different colours mottled vibrancy offered

lime shades of oaks glittering early leaves

glistening Ash buds unseen barely lingering shy

in spring still holds back from false summer days

the Raven in its bowered oak cleft kingdom

unstirred by gusting wind or raindrops frapp

rifled oak bark running hard lined rivulets

in the orchard salmon pink quince glows

Ghost road

Lightest yellow whitening moorland grass stretching

waved wind shifting flows into the uplands plateau

distant ravens specked black in white grey clouded skies

wheel unhinged glide soar above the flat worn track

(excerpt The Ghost Road)

 

Stress related break from writing broken! And the relief when the words come through and the story begins to tell itself again a delight.
