Revolution
 
listen and lighten heavy souls of the world

it's hurting, these half-truths

we knew shouldn't a been sold.

The sky watchers saw

and the sky watchers knew

there was a front moving in

as strange winds blew.


Though the people, they were assured,

have spoken

and a majority, just half,

are broken

what should be done

with the turn of the sun

boil outrage and roll on to revolution!

Look inwards - not in to yourself

but us as we look in together

I've said it before I'll say it again

they won't help us

so as birds of a feather


... right?!

both now and somewhat each day

local resilience our nature our way

revolt we must and rise we shall

we're stronger en mass

each stern to each bow.

Flat sea's made sailors complacent

it's been rough for a while - breath a moment

dig deep and invest in the peaks beyond troughs

dig deep in the soil self-suffice from our toil

the more we're cohesive and supporting each other

stronger we grow! help one another get better.

on a level of sustenance for the body and soul

on a level of moral common social goals.

critical mass critical vibration

critical facts critical situation!

anvil formations and murderous skies

as above so below

done with the lies.

I'm just a natural giver
I can't seem to reel it in
know that in this life we lead
it ain't always peoples thing
so lift this part of me up
to a greater degree
 
I'm an empath full of love
I feel everything you do
I feel my own emotions
they're exaggerated too
curse this part of me do
nah ah it's no lesser degree

sometimes
I'm not sure I'm reconciled
let my
heart run out that extra mile
always 
giving more than Imma getting
walk a curs'ed way

Comes to matters of the heart
I gotta give him all I got
depends on who it is
if its naivety or art
so lift this part of me up
to a greater degree

At the end of each equation
and the workings of my mind
there's only one conclusion
inevitably I find
be myself and be true
the unedited view

when I'm
pining from my spiral soul
it's so hard to
steer from thoughts of letting go
still the
voices of the past I hear
takes so much to
walk and turn the ghosts away.

Shadow

Have you walked in the shadows
of the girls who walked before
stood your own ground
whilst they hustle at your door?
have you heard the endless rave reviews
of everything they've done
so turned your own petals
to catch a little bit more sun?
Have you thought about your offering
wondered, what on earth it is that shines
feeling like your average rock
less so the diamond in the mines?
But let me tell you this dear soul
- and listen to me well
for you're enchanting of your own my dear
and weave your own enthralling spell.

Summer-thyme

Hail to the fairy folk
keepers of this land,
I see the little circle ...
that marks your merry band


Midsummer marches!
and we all know what this means,
veils between are lifting
unpicking stitching at the seams
 
Thyme, wild thyme and more time
awakens in the woods,
abundant, with natural purity
to do it’s healing good
 
Fields are tall with promise
waving green with corn,
so strip away your workaday
get your glad rags warm
 
Then hear a wild whisper
something primal is near,
it’s the turn of the wheel
the creaking you hear
 
Heave a big sigh
and dance for the sun,
one cycle ending
another begun
Boy …
I think I done gone fallen
and so before I let myself fall anymore
with integrity truth and the courage of Gin
here let me say a few things
 
Please don’t mistake my silence
for inertia or apathy
been fighting the demon lines
someone else handed to me
 
But...
I got this soul
that wants to waltz with yours
I got this soul
seems to know yours of old
as I walk in a daydream like a rustle of leaves
there’s a warm summer breeze that will wrap me and tease ….
 
We’re a tangle of limbs and of love and good things
it’s the dusk of the night
and the almost-light-now
let’s walk side by side
for an infinite while
me and you ….
let us waltz Prussian hues.
 
Lovely it took a little time
to gather myself and define
what I am worth
and I what I have learnt
so you and I can entwine.
 
Boy …
you see I done gone fallen
and so before I let myself fall anymore
with integrity truth and no need for the Gin
here let me say a few things …
 
Yes...
 I got this soul
that wants to waltz with yours
I got this soul
seems to know yours of old
as I walk in a daydream like a rustle of leaves
there’s a warm summer breeze that will wrap me and tease
 
We’re a tangle of limbs and of love and good things
It’s the dusk of the night
and the almost-light-now
let’s walk side by side
for an infinite while
me and you ….
let us waltz Prussian hues.
If the Cap Fits, Wear It
 
 
To the so called men that came before
who told us things that cut and tore
at the fabric of our self-worth...
became the subtle doubt we wore.
Now this self-depreciation thing
can rear its head bind our wings
fucks shit up
shrinks monologues small
and opening up becomes a wall.
Girl I knew said:
‘they don’t love girls like me’
where’s the goddess in you - said I, be badass and be free!
but there’s a black dog can indiscriminately follow
despite life’s beauty
a heart can still feel hollow …
So to all the dickheads
who’ve ever squashed a girls faith
quite frankly you lot are a waste of space.
We cannot un-hear the things that we’ve heard
it’s like the butterfly wing flap
only wings are words.
Ode to the Strawberry Faeries
 
makers of magic and mischief and mirth
holders of spaces bend time on the earth,
escape from the hum drum, the dull drum, the work drum...
take up a fresh call from imagination!
amongst the monochrome of a system of grey
and empolyment we suffer cause we've bills to pay,
make space for the unusual, the bizare, for our freedom!
wildflowers aren't weeds that we need to be weedin'
sharing our love and spreading the WORD
obselesence? homogeny? we flick you the bird!
giving life to old stuff that returns over and over
in music and art we're feeding each other
this one life we walk and are walking together
trying to make everything that little bit better,
gather together and cheer for the sun
revel the moment, here now, this one!
welders of magic and mischief and mirth
keepers of spaces stretch time on the earth,
beat loud the rhythms, the rythms of old
there's tales of connection to be sung deep and told!
There are times when
time is what you need
Sometimes
It’s the sound and the scent and the feel
of kindred spirits near....
Sometimes
Like the beat of a drum
The moment you catch a thought the choice is yours
Will you follow and spiral away
Or like a butterfly transform.
When retreating inwards is all you can do
Then that is your best and as valid too,
But breath,
breath in the damp on the leaves of the dew,
and drink long,
The abundance of kindness of good folk around you
A token, a gesture, one kind word
Then hold your space to remember
Roots down
Your resonance vibrating low with the ground
Honour your body your temple
just like before
Feed it, your mind and nourish your soul
Believe in yourself and all that you do
be sure to hear those that remind you
You’re fantastic as you.
Things were clear in her soul,
but the incessant chatter of the world sometimes caught on her
like the indescriminate thorns of the bramble
I took a walk in the woods today
I had to know what the tree’s would say
And they said
Breathe
And believe in your good-self
...
I stretched my palms and I let it flow
I tried to breath from my head to my toes
And you know
I did
I breathed in the lush green leaves
In this world there are things could irk a soul
But in the words of the wise
And the best of them all
Look in
Cause the answer are all within.
Sepia-time
 
stop those clocks
wind them down
take them back
free yourself
from the bindings
of time...
drench your worlds
with the sepia of
non-time
timeless time...
feeds your soul
and grows your mind
Carry on!
 
D’you know
you can take what you like
take my records take my bike
 you’re a dick, you’re a prick
And I really don’t care!
 
Dude I got people
I got meaning I got love
got my mindset
 and you know I got my dex … riiiiight?!
 What’s yours is yours
and what’s mine is yours
 it was never fine
for mine to be mine
 
 you smoked all my money
 you crushed my very soul
 never mind that I saved your ass
you’re cold, stone cold!
 You continue to take whatever you can
man up man ….
whilst you still fucking can!
 
 Possessions don’t mean shit
not where happiness lies
 so much for doing this right
you’ve gone all lord of the flies!
 you’re a dick, you’re a prick and I really don’t care
 cause I got love so much love
so good luck and take care!
 
 
What on this earth happened
to connection with the land
machines now do the sowing
not the farmers casting hand
 
What happened to the Hedger
the Apothecary and the Smith
the children of our time
will talk of skills as if they’re myths
