GOSSIP
The rumor was spreading

Maybe she was heading

Towards a nervous breakdown

That face never used to carry a frown

Oh but they say he finally left her

No more like a cat does she purr

That seems impossible

Well, dirty laundry washable

He's now with her best friend

Didn't mean to offend

All skin teeth is not laugh

Maybelline surely got the shaft

And they were so close

Which makes it so much worse

NOTE: All skin teeth is not laugh - Friendly appearances can be deceiving sometimes, or a person's smile can be one of deception.(A Trini saying)

CONTEMPLATION:A QUADRILLE

You know me well.

You will never charge me of logolepsy.

Laconic is more to my being.

Raindrops on my roof, and i am impressed.

Still, knowing sadness,

That somewhere the floods distress others.

Ah still tis wabi sabi.

Raindrops draw me in contemplation.

Today's mosaics 'Ixoras Luv The Rains'

NEW CHANT

Remember those days,

When hard work was the ways,

Of all believers,

And good morning greeters?

Work hard, to today's amazement,

Has almost vanished, to astonishment

Of new normal chants;

Stay home, stay safe, enchants;

The mind and heart,

In us to work smart.

I LISTEN

The song birds are quiet,

Rested from their dawn thrilling,

The sky silvery with some tints.

I wake before dawn and

I choose to wait for their songs,

Before getting out of bed.

What would morning be without them?

Today's mosaics 'The Shape of Leaves'

When

There is grand sun. Dare you to look her in the eye, and cold ever changing moon, pretentious as love outside of a movie theatre screen.

There is no aroma to the rain, petrichor is a lie that belongs to the earth. Wildflowers, seemingly pretty, are really weeds, reality check! You rip them out, they appear like magic rabbits in a hat.

When i'm feeling low, when the coffee is just a bitter dark draught in a mug with a silly drawing of a flower and a bird, and the apple peeled is cut across to reveal a star without a stupid night sky.

words of scripture

hold over my head a halo -

a protective tent
