  A Not So Still Life What a strange tableau, a still life   still living   in a dream. The birds flew over and looked down on it, but there was no place for them   to hang out, to roost,   to dream. So they didn’t care about the dust motes escaping into the sunlight floating like fairy dust getting themselves organised to follow their dream. Did they escape from the jar? Perhaps. Though   the bull is wondering   if they were ever inside and the birds don’t care as usual, hardly notice her dog emerging   from the mist to inspect them.   Unmistakably her dog just more amorphous than usual. It doesn’t look inclined to chase the motes or stick it’s head inside the loop they’re making. But the birds don’t care as usual. https://impspired.com/2021/12/01/lynn-white-4/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1914130553

  An Ordinary Moon It’s an ordinary moon.   Not special like a harvest moon   or a blood moon or a pink moon in April. It’s not even full. It doesn’t have to be. The tides still obey it and when it shines   through the clouds it lights me up. Is that ordinary that mystic moonlight? https://impspired.com/2021/12/01/lynn-white-4/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1914130553

  Only Dream Harder If you dream hard enough you’ll find castles in the air, or build them. If you dream hard enough you’ll find secret cities   under the waves ruled over by a fishy king with his beady eye on you as you walk on by. If you dream hard enough you’ll find unicorns and ride them across the desert to discover lost oases hidden there amongst ancient cities   once in ruins now recast   in shimmering perfection by harsh sunlight. If you dreamer harder   you’ll rise above the waves of sand which threaten to engulf you, float in the sunlight instead of being buried   head first. It’s all possible if you only dream harder. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1914130553 https://impspired.com/2021/12/01/lynn-white-4/

  Coming Through We used to head out from our homes   to explore what remained   of the countryside, to walk in the lanes and through the wood hoping to leave the darkness behind and push ourselves upwards and onwards into the light. Now you’re following us making a new pathway all the way through to the river where the golden glow of sunlight   will seek you out as it passes   through   the wood. Now we have all come through and are ready to cross over the river   into the light. https://braveandrecklessblog.com/2021/11/30/coming-through-lynn-white/?fbclid=IwAR0W5e6vh1HFv4y-L1mAc4eZSf9x1bRrqfVFqi5ejoiUtjw8dly7XLCbMKk

  Broken Hold the moon carefully, it’s very fragile so easily broken   by the human touch just like the earth was broken, just like the earth is broken by that same touch. Perhaps the world ends here its tears falling like autumn leaves weeping to its end   with a whimper. https://braveandrecklessblog.com/2021/11/28/broken-lynn-white/?fbclid=IwAR1imOeS0vPTa0oEkPTCBvNsYs4tt06ot6pQdhLehBh-MoY8pOCEcuKUS5E
