beware sometimes

 beware sometimes 

beware sometimes 

if you save a lizard

it’s tail might come off

then what are your left with

but the thought ingratitude 

basking in the sunshine

eyes sparkling

considering

 considering 

this transient journey of existence

‘stardust we were and stardust we will become’

insignificance is a big word to swallow 

everything isn’t everything 

nothing is

i do so enjoy star gazing 

on a dark night of the soul

remembering remembering

 remembering remembering 

however old i get

even to the day i die

i will still be younger

than the youngest warrior 

who gave his or her life for me

in the great wars

a rough sea

 a rough sea

hard 

on shard sand

stands the end of summer 

harder than harder

the waves pound 

the west rock wind 

stumbles

jet black clouds channel

surf as white as icing

as the sun breaks through

churning it all it all too much 

is to stand braced

this way and that in

the ebb and flow as its anger

bites bites bites

wave-chasing gulls pull

muscles necked in flight

and what emollient could ever heal 

the bite of a wave’s bladed spite

answer me this

that next wave

could you 

finality

 finality

and not one prayer

to any one of the gods in the pantheon 

have made one blind bit of difference 

euthanasia of the species

sounds like a possible solution 

that is if there is a god

or even a devil 

or nothing at all

impussyble

 impussyble 

the cat

that wants my new seat

initially 

wanted my vacated seat

both of one of us 

is as dull as hell

rhetorical

 rhetorical 

do you remember

‘where were you when the world ended’

take your time

for we don’t have any

no one will be listening

           was anyone ever listening

to your answer
