Daisy at the door
Of the high rise flats:
Surviving, it seems,
On air and concrete.
Tender beauty
Made of impossible tenacity
Surviving in the fag-ends,
Glass and johnnies.
Maybe one day crushed
Carelessly by circumstance.
Live furiously, small one.
Live and feel the blessed Sun!

Daisy at the door
Of the high rise flats -
Like smiling babe
You fill the world
With vulnerable charm ...
Forgive us faults and bring us calm.

It may not be the best start
But it's home. Remember -
From the shit, a fertile heap,
The strongest stems may grow.
Little daisy, rise from the crack
Stay green. Don't look back.

Reflections Of The Moon

#nightdwellers A pale silvery full moon resides over the pale night sky, It's iridescent glow reflects on the river setting a romantic scene for lovers as they pass by.

Broken Halos.

Wake me up with morning rain. As I walk these streets that all look the same. Dry my skin on the days first train. Same bystanders, different names. Wishing hard for something good. Curse my luck.

In The City.

A breath of air, A brand new stench, Another figure, On a bench. Far too clouded, For the stars, The scent if whiskey, So many bars.

Sativa Wolf

Runnin wit the wolves. It's not my true nature. But it the state of a affairs here. Searching for the golden paper. Growin up a young pup. Said I'd never amount to much. But my furs warm.

Wow, another one I think is great and full of philosophical messages. (Plus, I love daisies.)
