Introspection

Ageless hands
disentangle
age old reason
kindling
hopes flame
scorching
the seasons
of  delusion
transcending
worldly confusion.


Gaping emotions
purposefully
swirl
scattering
life anew
- sublime
Christ-like seeds
of devotion.


A simple moment 
introspection
shatters imperfection.
unheard
- and unseen
mending
threadbare wings
weakening
chaos
from wintry winds
of despair.

'The Thinker' by Nige Atkinson

Colourwashed

Two souls
tumble
toward
holy light,
a single tear
dissolves
in spirited ocean
- vast.
Colourwashed memories
faded,
broken,
make way
for love's call
freeing
man and boy
in heartfelt devotion.

For Dad
