Poetry list

none of our busyness

we are caught up like
sails in the wind
careening through days
activated fired blown
tasks to be done
expectations met projects
realised chores and routines
but why
to what end

there is there is meaning

embedded in the
scudding lifescape
is there how do we
know if only we could
stop and find or trust
and believe that
nothing is up to me
or us save the leap
the release of self –
to be found and held
by the love that is
never too busy for
us to die and
live letting
love pour over
and flood out
from deep within
and beyond me
and us and all
