Happy Birthday

Wow.. So it's been a minute or two since I posted anything here, this last month's been hec.tic. Moved to Australia about a week ago and been hustling since I touched down.

I didn't have internet access yesterday, so had to send this to my little sister Ellie via text, but wanted to write this out properly. It's a poem I wrote for her Birthday, kind of half advisory, half lyrical rubbish off the top of my head.


Dream Weaver


Sunrises,

Sunsets,

Live Life,

No regrets,

Upsets, fade...

Stampede, like Bulls, on parade.

Today's hustle; tomorrow's trouble,

Full Cycle,

Life's bubble,

Bursts like foam in a coffee mug,

Juggle cocktails and dreams,

For Rockstars and Queens,

Ordinary people;

Extraordinary means.

Pick your own teams,

Fight your own wars,

Stand tall, on your own floors,

The best laid plans may still hold flaws...

Heart open,

Like a held door,

Pour love into every chore,

Put soul into every pore,

Of all you do,

You can do no more.

Spin your own web,

Catch your own flies,

Spider lives; Insect dies...

Pretty web,

Child's eyes,

Experience all, with naive surprise,

Ask questions, but tell no lies,

To those who hold fast to ship's sighs,

Good Men,

Washed up on cheap thighs,

Stripping Mankind's vain prize,

Mens minds capsize,

When boats float on flipped skies...

Punch your ticket, take a ride,

True Romance, never hides,

Manifests itself in face-lines...

Take time to discover why,

Caged birds,

Look so nice,

But repeat,

The calls,

Of the unwise.

A lesson learned,

Is one that's taught twice...

So do the maths and count your blessings,

Share love's wealth,

And life's lessons.
