Bits and Pieces about This and That gathered together from Here and There mostly by Myself. Holy Week - A soldier's prayer. Holy Week - A soldier’s prayer. I walked through the city guarding a man. Who carried a great wooden beam,. Going to his death in a place called Golgotha. Staggering beneath the crushing weight of his burden. His sweat mingled with the bloody wounds. Our nine tailed scourge had carved,. And spread about his naked flesh like a cloak. Of imperial Tyrian purple vivid in the sunshine.

The funeral tea-party was nearly over - if indeed such an elegant collation of smoked salmon, caviar and canapés, mille-feuilles, passion fruit pavlova and a sculpted ice swan could properly be described as a mere tea-party. Katerina Ivanova leaned against the wall and pondered upon the ceremony and the demeanour of her hostess. She had enjoyed neither. Over-consumption has contrived to get their priorities right.

Bits and Pieces about This and That gathered together from Here and There mostly by Myself. The wisdom of a stone. Not some famous latter-day president. Carved into the fine Dakota granite,. Made to endure a thousand years or more. Amidst the torrid heat and acid rain,. But an anonymous chalk behemoth,. Half a forehead, an eye, and half an eye,. An empty hole where once there was a mouth,. His whole face un-faced by mindless vandals. On the cliff where herring gulls nest and cry,. Remember my friends thi...

Of a winter morning streams through lapis glass. Lighting up sun gold slim pillar and wide stepped stone,. I meditate on the saints and martyrs of our time,. Commemorated here where once Becket’s crown was laid. Their loving spirits bright mirror of the divine.

Bits and Pieces about This and That gathered together from Here and There mostly by Myself. Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth. And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;. Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth. Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things. You have not dreamed of, wheeled and soared and swung. High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there. I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung. My eager craft through footless halls of air;. Nor kick your shins. For, a...
