Illusions of change (environmental poem)

Yesterday I wanted to save the planet, Today I think it’s us humans who need saving. Trapped in the illusion of our grandeur and our values, It’s easy to forget that Earth has been long-standing. Humanity evolved in time through learning, And inspiration came from all the shapes and sounds around us. Our earthly teachers... Continue Reading →

Dare I? (poem)

Who am I truly underneath, I do not know, Dare I see the real me and love it all? Letting go of familiar roles is not easy, They are comfortable and have their rewards.

I thought I... Continue Reading →
