Eryri Feb 2020
Doubt sows a seed
In my fertile mind
...again...

My skull
A greenhouse
Where doubt flourishes
Eryri Feb 2020
A mind made redundant
Lost in an over-aged physical cage

An informal diagnosis
An unspoken prognosis

No description
No prescription

A whole person lost:
Mind
Body
and
Soul
Eryri Feb 2020
Empty Church, free of worship.
Solemn words trapped in stone.
Echoes of song long since dissipated.
The tired Eagle spies fewer prey
As age erodes the congregation.

Faith is now displaced by modern life.
No time nor inclination to pray have they:
Hymns have too many lyrics
They offer no repetitive melodies
When was the last poor soul saved?

Yet faith in the Establishment remains,
It's failing flock clinging to the rock,
Demonstrating their faith in His return
Through small hopelessly hopeful acts,
Such as a 'Clergy Parking Only' sign.
Eryri Feb 2020
Lying side by side
Five of the same stock
Whose crumbling conjoined markers
Resemble a row of neglected teeth
Eroded by bracing bittersweet winds
That scattered their forgotten names
To every corner of the town
Eryri Jan 2020
Let the unimaginable be imagined
Let the flame burn in memory of the flames
Let the living live for the dead
So the truth of the dead can live on.

Eryri Jan 2020
The madness of two:
That's me and you.
Or you and I.

It's actually them.
You and I are just fine.
Eryri Jan 2020
The unimaginable that must be imagined
The flame in memory of the flames

Let the living live for the dead
So the truth of the dead can live on.
