Leaving no trace

You have to be someone
You have got people to see
Your mind chasm goes on
And on.

You look West, South, East and North
You have to be someplace 
Now tell me
Where is South when you are at the back of the Moon?
Where is West when you approach the Sun?

The pathless shall inherit the Earth
Those who withhold their pruning hooks shall be left with the verdant forests
The mind chasm ever goes on
And on
In immeasurable depths.

Do you have the courage to step onto the pathless path?

A feathered Song

There was once a swan
Like the Arctic white wilderness her feathers shone
The Earth gave her the dream of togetherness
She sought her consort and dancer in the sun's redness
Her maiden Swan-song calling him like a pipers love poem
Alas! Her voice too faint through the clamour and heavy industrial drone
A Swan singing gently to her beloved on empty waters
Now only the forgotten feathered song of our lake's daughters.
