capture

the weight of the world
falls relentlessly
upon the thistle

can soft spikes
protect inner sanctum
day after day?

the weight of history
falls relentlessly
upon the children

can innocence
protect the present
generation after generation

a mind absorbs
calamity and ecstasy
minute by minute

can imagination
create safe harbours
for the desperate?

With gentle heart,
can we soften their mistakes
by going under

the infection
to greater heal the inside.
`Do you know, I was so angry, Kitty,' Alice went on...`when I saw all the mischief you had been doing, I was very nearly opening the window, and putting you out into the snow! And you'd have deserved it, you
little mischievous darling!

and now we sit
after pondering for hours
in this afternoon lull
