–My latest book of poems is entitled Temporality, here is the title poem:
TEMPORALITY
In this forest
I begin to comprehend time,
Caught between present and eternity
And ancient memory.
The murmur of the stream
Framing eternity
In moment
The whisper of breeze
Vibrating leaves
Giving form to light
To the delight of birds.
Temporal and timeless,
The presence of centuries
And seconds
Now beckon
Across memories
Beyond the dreams of men
A context of eternity,
Passage and renewal

LOVE, ABSTRACTION AND OTHER SPECULATIONS
WEAVERS
A thousand tiny intonations
Criss-crossing in pastel shades
To make up this delicate pattern;
Moods and feelings
Interpreted, understood
And misunderstood.
Each word perfects
Or destroys a pattern-
It is our lot
To weave continuously,
Trying ceaselessly
To complete a design-

BEYOND ME
Beyond me
Tenderness,
Love
Like hope
In Spring’s first sunshine
Lighting both dust and bud
Both fragile with time
And full
As a heart
Remembering.
Life,
Love
For the sharing
Like scent
Upon the softest breeze
Enfolding
That hope upon joy
Like birdsong
Forgiving.
Now
Love,
For the giving
Like flowers
Painting the world
Unthinking
Just loving.

PERSPECTIVES
BUTTERFLY
Colour poised on the wingbeat of time
Immaterial in a shaft of sunlight,
Giving substance to the ethereal
Dancing yellow eluding the present
A gentle vibration of approximation,
Existing only in improvisation.
The measure of life
Eluding your ruler
Real life
here
is found
only,
(The parenthesis of rest
Finding confession in the elusive
The edge of nothingness)
Where sensation surprises
Expectation
