“ChromaZones”

A straight line.

But,

not,

as we know it.

A tonic transition,

that slides,

into spectrums..

ruling, the blankness…

… picking out colours,

like notes,

from a plectrum.

Selecting direction,

with clarity.

The nexus,

of every intention.

Sheer, crystal, brilliance.

Not to mention,

the solar plexus,

of endless invention.

Attention-to-detail,

a given.

Precision enlivens,

with printed inscriptions,

of shape-shifting

screen,

after screen.

Here,

is the

premium product.

A movie of

multiple layers,

in, cross-hatched,

formation.

A series,

in rainbow technique.

Alignments, unique.

A limitless

labour of Love,

through a

Creative prism,

at its,

infinite,

peak.

“Smile”

Tonight,

I looked up to Heaven

and saw

the Universe,

in your smile.

I heard the planets,

in your voice

and,

felt drawn,

to listen,

for a while,

to the macrocosm

of Wisdom,

which fell

from your mouth,

with, extragalactic, Grace.

Mirrored,

by the luminosity,

gently, whispered,

across

your, glorious, face.

An entirety,

of genius,

expressed,

in, fewest, words..

In, simplest, terms,

complexities,

came pouring down,

to Earth.

Inspired,

by His Deity.

not, one, meaning,

was deferred.

Not, one significance,

referred,

nor, delegated.

Every lesson, heard.

Impossibles,

articulated.

Not, judged as,

out of reach,

or, absurd.

With my eyes,

directed, skyward,

they grew misty,

became, blurred.

For,

this moment,

so, well-rested,

on the chaise-longue,

of my Soul,

caused,

my, Spirit-centred, Freedom.

The Celestial,

had hold,

of all I am,

and,

all I’d hoped,

to be.

With one, brief, look,

all of you,

met,

all of me

and,

your Eternal smile,

uncovered,

ageless,

endless, Mystery.

This, shortened, glimpse,

into the Timeless,

meant,

your Love,

changed

how I see.

“The Reason”

For a reason,

do we wake, at night,

whilst others,

are at rest.

We are capturing new visions,

with which,

we have all been blessed.

For a reason,

do we wake up,

with an urge, to greet the day.

With a, deep-seated, desire,

to see dreams,

come out and play.

For a reason,

do we pace the ground,

processing every plan.

It is,

in the name of details”,

turning cannot”, into, can”.

For a reason,

are we overwhelmed,

sometimes,

until we cry…

Feeling stuck,

within the “wherefores”,

and the “what ifs”

and the “whys”.

For a reason,

do we take a breath,

until we realise,

that,

these long lines of inquiry,

are solutions, in disguise.

For a reason,

do we practice,

do we mirror

and repeat.

We are searching

and fine-tuning,

every moment, every beat.

For a reason,

do we sing,

and act,

and dance,

and paint

and write.

We are living

our creative works

and giving,

with delight.

For a reason,

do we state that,

“It’s enough!” “Last time!” “The end!”

Then, proceed,

with more ambition,

for our ideas

to ascend!

For this reason,

we all do it,

as, a hand fits in a glove.

Call it passion,

or vocation.

There’s a reason,

it is

Love.
