red lips open up
endless possibilities
eyes shuttered and dark
silent screaming goes unheard
where pain and joy look the same
Writing about the creative life and the stories all around us
red lips open up
endless possibilities
eyes shuttered and dark
silent screaming goes unheard
where pain and joy look the same
In go the children
sit bright-eyed at teacher’s feet
their pages still blank.
Let’s school these enquiring minds
into dull obedience.
my fingers bleed red
deeper and deeper I dig
for precious gold; yet
none appears. soon darkness veils
my eyes, stealing every word
listen:
celebrate the blooms
turning pure faces skyward
such dazzling beauty
has roots sunk deep in darkness
decay transformed into life
