Each night
I look up
Out the window
At stars
And the moon
And the infinite black
I see
Lost civilizations
Forgotten people
Born and gone
Before our eyes
Without our knowing
The tremor
Of a planet
It’s heart
Spewing forth
Destroying itself
From the inside
The twinkle
In the distance
Of a world
Undisturbed
And at peace
For millennia
Out of the quarrel with others we make rhetoric; out of the quarrel with ourselves we make poetry. (W.B. Yeats) Here lies that which is inside no more, that which burns my mind and must be expelled. Here lies the greatest of all inventions. Here lies words.

Night Time
22/04/2020 - Iso Poetry Compilation
The night is very different now
It wraps around me as a warm embrace,
Not cold and unfeeling as it once was,
And protects me from the day.
Under its velveted expanse
I soak in knowledge and wisdom,
Transported to distant places
By unfamiliar faces.
Where once the shadows frightened
They cradle me to sleep;
And far off lights twinkle joyously
To lead me on my way.
