The Sea<\/strong><\/p>\n

 
\nI stand in the hall
\nyoung and old poeple all around me
\nI open out my arms so that they can land on me
\nlike thousands of butterfflies
\nthen i want to hug them all
\nand we can rock back and forward
\nlike waves<\/p>\n

 
\nThe Last Post<\/strong><\/p>\n

 
\nIf this was the last thing
\nthat I ever wrote
\nwhat would it be,
\nwhat would it be about,
\nhow would it end,
\nbegin
\nwhat would be in the middle,
\nthe body<\/p>\n

I guess the most important thing to do,
\nis treat every poem as if it really is you last.<\/p>\n

A last testament
\nput everyting into it
\nheart and soul
\nand hope it finds a new home in someone else
\nso even if it really is your last
\nsomeone else can touch others
\nso that they can carry it on.<\/p>\n

 
\nThe Search<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I look and look<\/p>\n

but cannot find
\nI am not sure what it is I hope to find
\nbut still I continue.
\nI don’t always look for long
\nsome days I give up and go home,
\nsleep.
\nsplit the day into two.<\/p>\n

And even some days
\nI start searching again,
\ntwice in one day.<\/p>\n

I don’t know why I don’t give up,
\nmany men would,
\nbut for some reason
\nI don’t.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wisdom<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As I notice I am crossing london road<\/p>\n

I see a man sat on the other side
\nhe looks homeless
\nbut doesn’t care.
\nHe holds a bottle in his hands,
\none holding the bottom,
\none the top.
\nIf he thrust it in front of him
\nit would feel like a presentation
\nan award
\nbut he holds it too close for that,
\nlike it is the most valuable of everything he has.<\/p>\n

He keeps staring at me
\nso I give him a nod
\nas if there is some true wisdom between us
\nand the more I think about it
\nthe more I think he is right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
