I sit and eat and
through the glass wall
I watch and see
all creatures, you and me.
Cheerful ones sprint
jump and run
Mothers and infants
twinned by prams
Slow and fast-paced,
some swift and rushed
All of them today
Apace on their way
Each with a purpose
come what may
Those steps and gaits
intent on a final end
All creatures, you and me
I watch and see.
through the glass wall
I sit and eat.
Inspired by observing people one fine day.
disguise your torment
for someone else’s joy…
rein in your tears
for someone else’s smile…
feign your bravery
to allay another’s fear…
laugh out loud
to shield a muffled cry…
abandon your beliefs
and let theirs flourish…
cease to exist
for another to thrive…
you despair to scream
out loud!
silence is a must
your voice fading in a cloud…
fold your wings
for someone to fly, high…
step aside,
let the other walk out proud…
where there’s love
comes sacrifice
you’d stop breathing
for a new life to begin…
I am that tree
my hands are free
my roots have spread
beyond the earth
my life imbedded
my reign, in depth
the sky, this ground
my cradle, my turf.
What’s beyond
is up to you
free your mind
imagine every kind
anything nice?
or something gory
dare to go
out there to know.
There were four
That became two
‘Of the sea’
Just you and me.
When the world shook
An arm kept me safe
‘Of the sea’
Did it for me.
Kept apart by miles and years
The flow of blood, fervent
That bridge between prevails
Unbroken, forever unburnt.
My love, respect and awe
Never lost, be in the know
I miss the big bro
Of the sea, so I speak.
