ORIGINS
Identity, Identity
What’s it’s importance
Who am I,
Where did I come from?
What is it I seek
Is it my origin
Do I want recognition
Or need acceptance?
What is a label
What is a name
Is it not something
That people can blame?
Does the Sparrow know
That a hawk is a hawk
Will the whale feel heard
Any more than the bird?
Such angst in the mind
To be labelled and loved
Whilst true origin lies
In a place way above
With no body or mind
To get in the way
Identity’s no reason
To mess up this way
Go deep into heart
Feel that part
light of soul
Restores the whole
People and nature
Universe and earth
Beings connected
As one before birth
Origins beyond
A planetary home
Beings now separated
Feeling alone
Labels and names
Reinforce separation
Creating barriers
Through every nation
Why can’t we see
We’re one group of beings
One human race
One origin, one name
Race, culture, religion
Gender, sexuality
What’s truly affecting
our future destiny?
The planet cries out
destruction we’re causing
Minds anxious and fearful
Realisation dawning
What once was peaceful
Beautiful earth
Destroyed in a century
Of human births
Human minds, human needs
Ever increasing power and
greed
Annihilation of a
paradise home
Earths original species
cry alone
Damned by destruction
Voices unheard
Save us they cry
Like the screams of birds
Labels can give
comfort inside
Yet won’t save lives
due to die
Can we return to
The home of our soul
To love, compassion
Honest and whole?
The hour is late
Identity ranges
divide minds
nothing changes
Origin, home
Has no identity
Peace and love is
One great entity.
UNSEEN MYSTERIES
Just because we can’t see
it
Doesn’t mean we can’t
feel it
Magic, Myth, and Mystery
Fascinating humans
intrinsically!
Faeries, Unicorns
Dragons, Elves
Hobbits, Lord of the
Rings
Enthrals with spells
Celtic lore, magical
stories
Gothic tales much more
gory
Adults close children’s
imagination
Thwarting magical
inspiration
Unicorns, Dragons,
Witches, Wizards
Grown-ups love
Mythical beasts, lizards
Harry Potter
Merlin, Narnia
bringing light
to adult paranoia
Reawakening the child
within
Adults’ hearts can now
sing
Suppression unlocked able
to fly
Magic, Myth, Mystery now
a high
Whoever said they don’t
exist
Beings of magic, mystery,
myth
Shame on them, cruelly
denied
Listen, Feel, they’re all
inside.
