one day two poems

I spoke to the Oak and i asked for her views

on the fat orange bloke and the strait of Hormuz

In her wisdom she offered a deep sense of calm

in her green leaf enfoldings a purposeful balm,

Have no fear of tomorrow for anxiety dwells

in confusion, illusion and the lies that we tell,

hold on tight to the truth that the seasons will pass

and the flowing of time will the horrors outlast,

know that darkness is conquered by flickers of light

and that reckonings come when the timing is right,

turn away from the madness, escaping your fears

put your trust in the justice of sages and seers

I am old and my age has seen horrors before

I have lived in a world full of worries and wars

I have stood for a century watching the world

and have witnessed the carnage as flags are unfurled.

Turn away from the news, notice blossom instead

let your heart be at one with the seedlings in bed

as for me i have faith and have acorns to dream

and i know that the rest is not quite as it seems….

—————-

Im wondering if i should plant my seeds

and hope the season may outlast

the imminence of escalated fall-out from a nuclear blast.

Im wondering if the ghouls have found

enough to sate their mocking ire

and bombed enough to feel like men in charge of satans holy fire.

Im wondering if the day has come

in foolishness of mighty power

where we can breathe and sigh relief and bid farewell to farewells hour?

Im wondering if i should plant my seeds

or store them well for futures when

the thrust of Oppenheimer’s gift is banished from the hands of men.
