views in Verse on 'a new normal'

Life

Bold candle

Burning bright

Hold tight to your watch;

Arched against the darkness

In resolute service

A sentry

Against the dross

Winsome for the moment

Oh so humble

To the core;

You will serve there

Till your resilience

Is cruelly crushed

Again and again …once more

Views in Verse on liberation

The Expressionist

One masquerades as an analyst
Loose thoughts, pinned free to the air
Sometimes an addled philosopher
Life’s lessons oft’ prone to share

At home with words
The poetic leap, an irrepressible thing
Linked to its ugly partner released
The cathartic urge to sing

Even at times as an artist
In an attic, somewhere in France
The oozing blaze of the palette
The essence of the trance

Perhaps as a guide
Ushering, a light into the gloaming
Riding a horse on a sandy beach
No plan, carelessly roaming

Broken from all barriers
Like a raft, tossed foul to sea
Freedom comes to the self-released
To be who they want to be
