OVERTHINKING

OVERTHINKING

Am I here or there?
Mindfulness or distraction?
Tao is their mother
You keep questioning yourself
But that’s just a waste of time

A LOCUM I

A LOCUM I

I’m not sure
That we aren’t
Everywhere
All the time
Just not paying
Due attention
At the moment
With so much going on
And so forth

OTHERWISE OCCUPIED

OTHERWISE OCCUPIED

Busy busy busy
No time to spare – Or share
Or seek behind the masks
The ones they wear – Or ours

HONEY TRAP

HONEY TRAP

Beneath the surface
Shimmering halls of mirrors
Promise amazement!

Curiosity assuaged!
Infinite regress is all
A maze meant to snare

SORRY, NO TIME JUST NOW

Too busy to slow down?

CONTACT LENS

CONTACT LENS

Back in the present
Looked around for a moment
Then drifted away

THE DIFFERENCE

Ah yes. The vast difference between the detail and the trivial.

Abandoning this
Constant creating something
Other than it is

STILL II

STILL

An idle mind
Is our saviour
While distracted
Leads us astray

WALKING THE TALK

WALKING THE TALK

None see our feelings
We think and talk of our love
Action’s how they tell
