Fantasising About Running Away
when you feel like a creative impostor.
I wrote this some time ago.
When I felt hopeless.
On the outskirts of somewhere, I seem to forget, walking over the railway lines trying not to fall off.
Trains are so symbolic of new beginnings.
I fantasised about getting on one not knowing where it led but never did. So I wrote this, instead.
Where Poets Go
Railway, now empty,
take me far away,
far away somewhere
where all the poor,
beaten,
ugly,
misunderstood
and lawless
go at the end,
the very end,
to find solace.

Bonfires and Herbs
There was a betrayer in our midst. We had no way of knowing, for they kept their evil deeds cloaked in deception. Our little village of Hampshire was taken entirely by surprise when they committed their traitorous acts. We had no thoughts to predict that at the time of our celebrating the Sun's ascension to the highest point in the Northern Sky, they would strike with a most diabolical blow. A blow that has undoubtedly left a mark burned deep into the pure white light of our hearts.
