Love has been
Before the beginning of time
.
Love brings
To birth
.
Love creates
And guides
.
The creative
Journeys of life.

Eyes, Old Eyes
This was one of the first poems I ever wrote that I still think is worth preserving. It was written whilst I was still a teenager, as will be apparent, and is the first poem in my collection “First Words”.
Eyes, old eyes
those gazing, fading places
whose curving surface is disturbed
.
Reflections, places
fading faces
pass in waves…
[continues after image]
I do not want skin
wrinkled thin
shrivelled on me
while I am still empty
.
Fill me with memories!
.
The old will pass and fall so full
closed up with theirs
disappear in death
and die their time
.
But they too looked up
at old eyes gazing
threads back into history
.
Do I leap my life from day to day
and trail that thread
like life spinning ribbon red
from me?
.
Or snagged and shackled
trailing chains of ancestry?
.
Even now I hear you
the toddling, tottering thunder
who will burst from me
who will one day recede.

Retell the Beginning
Let us retell
The beginning
.
The story
Of time
.
Life rippling
Over all of creation
.
When one came
With a message
.
With a sacred
Name
.
Whose touch transfigured
All things
.
And nothing
Would ever be the same
.
Mountain of Truth
The mountain of truth
Arises
.
As we struggle up
The way
.
And each step is a new imprint
in the mind
.
Passing layers upon layers
of rock
.
Each a new moment
of time.
.
Elsewhere
The blessings
Came from elsewhere
.
Translated
You witness the worship
.
Of another time
Moved beyond
.
The confines
Of your limited world.

Blessed Presence
Who can
Know God
.
Or understand
The divine?
.
Only
The one
.
Who has lived
The blessed presence
.
And stepped
Outside of time.

Or can both
Lead

In and out
Of time

In God

In eternity?

A Flicker of Light
Blinded by earth
We understand
.
Only the ways
Of flesh and of time
.
Heaven a flicker
Of light
.
Glimpsed
In the darkness
To be quested for
All life long.
