Cartographer
let us play the role of cartographer
the maker of maps
and the new biographer…
it used to be called
wearing two hats
now there’s a third role
called observer perhaps
what map will we draw?
whose story will be told?
the place of new beginnings
a map to unfold

Toroidal Eclipse
the toroidal eclipse
has opened the doors
it has blocked out the blockage
that had stopped us before
how has this happened?
was the movement the same?
the eclipse allowed for fractals
and a new frame for the game
with the blockage now gone
the intensity’s huge
prepare for the explosive
creative deluge
and the surging back in
to a place that is central
to remix with intensity
from the multi-dimensional
the pulse of the torus
great beauty expanded
and a softness, a gentle
reminder commanded
be all that we are
free to mix and create
then return to the centre
for balance and to wait
the cycles are swirling
the cameras await
to capture the magic
of the emergent retake

Silver Thread
a silver thread pulled straight and so long
ripples and moves, becoming a song
weaving back and forth like one way streets
intersecting, sometimes pausing
where other streets meet
silver, shiny, reflecting like the Moon
able to vibrate, to carry a tune
a thread that is flexible, able to bend
to weave in and out with other threads as they mend
whether to mend or create, in a way it’s the same
there’s no beginning or end to this tapestry game
there’s a story to be told, a song to be sung
to see it, to hear it, where has this thread begun?
each thread is woven into what already exists
yet a vision, an idea gives a very new twist
and the expression of the new soon changes the old
silver thread is reflecting a new story untold
we pick up the thread, we weave the new song
we’re weaving a tapestry where all can belong
we’re weaving with all colours and copper and gold
the song and the story begins to unfold
