once again into the night

it's evening
close the day behind me
my eyes are tired
nothing to do but relax
into my pre final daily ritual
the glass is primed
the moon flowers once more
this is hope

Twilight Life
j a connor Aug 2021
The streets are uneasy at this time
When the twilight separates the day
Party goers , lonely wanderers, the disturbed
And yet
As the darkness fades
All takes on a new perspective

The real disappears and the routine begins once more
Uniformed of mind take their places in the daily experience  
Isolated beings for the sake of repetition and familiarity
Weak every day through the months and years
Until
All stops

Those in the shadows prefer the unknown and unexpected
The challenge of survival without a  fragile safety net
For it all ends for all
How we reach that point depends on our perception of a life lived

Depth Of Destiny
j a connor Jun 2021
He waited at the darkest point of the night
Would the dream return
Rain fell on the ground creating a new wave of hope
Is it to be true
Will it replace the problem that was his life

"Do you know if the dream is due"

"Could be"

"Is it the muse that you have too"

"We'll see ..........

A Life Cosmic
j a connor Nov 2020
Who we are is all in the mind
Purpose projected by ego
A false importance of identity
Lose yourself
Accept the universe
Imperfection is perfect
We exist
Embrace the truth of our simplistic passage
We are not in control
Relax
Enjoy

From The Forest
j a connor Nov 2021
through the morning mist they materialise
silent sentinels
that seem to rise
drawing hope from we who understand
the key of breath
the belief of man
without their presence
where would we be
our greed will **** us
long live the tree

Political Thinking

Don't believe however it is told
Listen
Think
Resist
Question the facts

But opinion

Interpretation
Judge for yourself
Is it true
Or
Perhaps

Beyond the coffee
night
Polluted by too much
but it's alright
My mind calls to the sky

I see

I try

The passage is
uneasy
Plagued by those
trying to change me
Lost in my demise

I see

I try

My task is
futile
To build my hopes
am I in denial
Burning lifestyle
Why do I continue
Because

I see

I try

Begone all the nay sayers
I have risen to be me
No more will I be passed over
No truth I will not see
For life is mine
And I must live
As this is the only time
I can give
To those who are sighing
What about tomorrow
Live like you're dying
Self pity
Is
Sorrow

there is a certain liberation to be enjoyed
no rule following
going through a point that impresses the senses
freedom of speed
reaching the horizon before dawn
no longer per hour
measuring in the second
ecstasy of movement
with no destination
ending too soon
but living in the moment

Pounded by the waves
Sand washed away

Subject of the sea
Never to be free
Lost for.....
Eternity

I am just a beach
Some say the shore
Others
The ocean's *****
No purpose
No more

Green shoots pry
Into his house
The gardener waits
Listening in silence
And fails
They talk
They plan
Up the stairs
He is there
Our roots are not yet strong enough
But
He is weak
Wait
That noise
Rain
We grow
