part one
j a connor Mar 2024
going on a journey
to catch up with my past
I want to see it all
so I'm not going fast
look around me
things are not the same
developed the land
where we used to play games

piece of peace
j a connor Mar 2024
break free from the burden of society

true life is outside the scope of rules

STOP THINKING
SEE NOTHING

Pre Experience Blues

Morning stroll along the fragrant path towards the chill of the woods
I stop before going further to clear my mind
Too late
My senses have already revealed the future

The Political Ego
j a connor May 2021
Such a shame

                    All that weight

                                        On those shoulders

                                                      ­              Trifling small brain

descending at the start
to societal expectation

escape the boundaries
look within

One Life In Time
j a connor Jul 2021
Does the path of life scare you
Why
We are all equal
The truth dispenses with the perceived misconception
Time is inescapable
Be who you are

The Small Stuff
j a connor Oct 2021
Time is a barrier to progress
It allows procrastination
Major changes take too long
The small things seem more relevant
Performed in an instant
Through them all is achievable

Line In The Sand
j a connor Sep 2022
This is reality
The summer
Only an escape
Yeah
Summer living
Some just existing
Where do we hope to be
Always looking to escape
Wanting for something better
Will we grasp it when it comes
Or let it slip through
Ahh
Here comes the wind again
Stirring the sand
Clearing the footprints

Days Lost
j a connor Mar 2021
Grey tanned faces in the winter of hope
Lasting forever
Dreamt perhaps remote
This life despairs all who come to pass
Knowledge is regression
Time never lasts

If
j a connor Jul 2023
If
If the trees kept growing up to the stars
Would we climb as high as we do today

If the road kept going without any cars
Would we reach a place where we could stay

If the earth turned it's back for the sun to burn
Would the moon wave goodbye and just fly away

These questions and others we have learned
The answers as always we cannot say

Be All

Don't try to do everything
It will tire you
And weaken you
The anxiety of failure will frustrate and upset
Do as is required when it comes along
Quiet of mind will make you strong

j a connor Nov 2023
I am not patient
Except when I am
I am not tolerant
But accept that I can be
I Love
But
Is it for personal gain
I cry
But
Is it to free my own pain
Do I go against all that I should be
Or
Do I realise
Through all my searching
That I find
I am
Who

I am

late evening and the sky reflects my feeling of relaxation
sleep is near and tomorrow will welcome the sun

I think
tiredness is a reality I can control
peace is a destiny I can't

Vacate
j a connor Apr 2021
Train at the station
I'm not getting that one
Things seem to be moving too quickly
This great getaway should be a relaxing break
But it's standing room only for the next three hours
I step outside
It's quiet
Calm
All the travellers are away
I think I'll walk a bit and regain my peace

Today
j a connor Dec 2021
sunshine on the wall makes me smile
even in winter it fights against the oncoming storms
a little piece of joy
a lot like good health
not appreciated enough
our lives are filled with contradictions which is how it should be
it is harder to discover the true meaning if all feelings are known
but just to experience that fleeting moment of brightness
I know there is hope

21st century rebels

Creatures with comforts

Simply dictate

gloomy  
early rise
day unseen until 8.00

break fast
cafe on corner
feel flat

open door to leave
damp air
no view

walk in rain
grey clouds hide
high above

the sun light is clear
j a connor Jul 2023
I must continue
I need to reason with this reality
Instructions and rules seem all that is left
Freedom can only be found in dreams
People no longer experience their existence

No Through Road
j a connor Oct 2020
Sitting watching the cars go by
Travelling on the arteries of the country
Perhaps not the best term to use as clogged arteries are not to healthy

Carrying on with this analogy

Are car parks the fat deposits and city centres the bowels
Difficult then to find the brain or the heart in all this detritus.
It must be there somewhere
How else are we controlling this not so free flowing civilisation???
