The Tree

Poetry: The Tree

by Liam

Let this Love now be a tree

Branching to infinity

Anchored deep in the eternal me

We like leaf too, bud then wilt

With the seasons, color filled quilt

Take spring buds youth, filled in glee

Summer comes rich, both for you and me

Autumn’s tide turns with golden glow

To pick our planted fruit and know

Winters time, white to silver my hair does fade.

Strife too passes like the falling leaf

Storm shakes the boughs With me it’s grief

It’s my roots which steadfast to the pain

Hold the tree strong for another days gain

Through this all, we are but one

A twig, a branch, a stem, a tree

From a seed grown tall this me

It’s light, it’s sun towards which we strain

My soul, the seed in Gods good gain.

Oh! Heart

Poetry: Oh Heart

by Liam

Oh Heart,

You recognize these patrons, guests

Each and every one

By day and every minute

Are welcome to my home

Thoughts, like people,

Enter this house, my heart

Openly, we rejoice with each unique individual

For their virtue lies in love

The love each and every one holds as a thought.

Empty Page

Poetry: Empty Page

by Liam

„Be an empty page, untouched by words.” Rumi

The empty page beneath my pen

Where words are lost for deep therein

Your presence calls, but all I hear

The chiming ring of angels near

Time, this friend dissolves now too

All that’s left, my empty page

Is you . . .

War

Poem: War

by Liam

This is the day for the becoming of me

I awoke to song, from the sycamore tree

To a ray of red, shot from a crimson dawn

Left those dreams of battle and horn

To shout the praise of days to come

Of truth, of love, of life, of fun

I stamped my feet to the piper’s drum

Shook with fear from

Those short-range guns

To battle, to die, to rage and rant

The young men screamed, “till death ya part .“

In the smoke, the slash, the heat of steel

The moan of pain, we red coats feel

We fell, to be soaked in blood-covered mud

While others stabbed and cut and killed

The battle plan had been revealed

Ripped by the blast of a short-range shell

The day I died and left that hell

My soul had gone, my heart stopped too

Off into the light, its comfort true.

But I entered not those pearly gates

Nor heeded the call of those forlorn

The sycamore sang of a new fresh morn

The dawn, alight with a message to sing

This is the day for the becoming a king

Return to the broken body I see

Free, cried my mind

Free, sang my heart

Free, of death which almost laughed

Limp, stumble, heal, took I so long

It’s the song I now sing

Each day at the dawn

Reminds me now forever long

Reminds me now of my life, my name

Reminds me, of the game of give and grow

Of happy friends, my family know

To share, to laugh, love and cry

That, was not my day to die

That, was my day to become what you see

The one

The true

The me

Molecularity

Poetry: Molecularity

by Liam

Peace is an ocean and the river a conversation

When you look for silence

Step down to the ocean shore

Not the crunch of pebbles, nor the crash of waves

It’s the molecularity which quietens me

Yet when that silence comes searching

Walk not into the river

Where chatter and talk are carried to that endless sea

Listen, listen to the ocean!
