Asking The Earth

Call me dear Earth
To come work for you
Whisper into my ears
What I can do

Call me where
You would like me to go
Show me whatever
You would like me to know

Tell me how I
Can be your scribe
And take your message
To the rest of my tribe

I’d like everyone
To see your glory
And experience your magic
Through my poem or story

Guide my fingers
When I write something down
Gift me the words
Each verb, each noun

Guide my thoughts
Give me some clues
Show me the colours
The shades and the hues

Tell me how I
Can help ease pain
When my tribe is locked
In stress and strain

I ask cos I know
You hold the key
To the joy of living
In harmony

Really Are You Afraid?

Really are you afraid
Afraid of being alone
Or is it actually excitement
Of being on your own

Remember how as a kid
You created fantasies
Of being a solo explorer
Of your own life mysteries

Really are you afraid
Of losing your current job
Or are you secretly excited
To leave behind that mob

Remember how as a kid
You were told to play it safe
But you were happy to roam
As a tramp and as a waif

Really are you afraid
Of anything at all
Or is it masked excitement
Of finally standing tall

Connecting with Drops

Lying quietly on my bed
Suddenly I hear the rain
In my cells I feel her drops
Bringing me alive again

I get up to greet her now
And feast on her pearly show
Drop after drop, from the skies
Rushing to meet the earth below

I sense the rain in the air
I smell her wetting the earth
In her glee I feel happy too
Happy that I chose this birth

The rain stops, the air is still
Thunder suddenly gives a roar
I see birds rush to treetops
As if asking for an encore

It rains again, sheets of water
Forming bridges everywhere
Bridges between earth and sky
Bridges between here and there
