A Forest and Me

video

a castle, a river
a forest, a time
when days were forever
and everything rhymed

the rhythm of waking
then spending the day...
we were just children
but we couldn't stay -

older and older
never as young
time felt like more than
when we had begun

eventually ending
what seemed to go on
forever and ever,
the place we belonged...

'suffer the children
to come unto me'
said Father Christmas
invisibly

promising goodness
and love from the heart...
now we're much older
and so far apart

from when we were children,
when we had begun,
relearning what we knew
that all is just one

endless forever
now coming to be
an ocean, a mountain
a forest and me...

One Breath

video 

 we're all just
one breath away from death
one heartbeat from the start

of letting go
of all we know,
no more beating heart...

we've been strong
but we belong
in-between our lives

in a place
where we must face
what inside survives

the end of life...
no more strife
no more you and me

egos flushed
quickly rushed
beyond to ecstasy

in paradise
which seems so nice,
moving ever on

eventually
to come to be
back among the throng

with just one breath
away from death
one heartbeat at the start
