part two
j a connor Mar 2024
I don't think I was wrong
leaving this place
the names are the same
but it's got a different face
I've changed and I've grown
a better life I chased
but somewhere on the journey
I missed something in my haste

part one

going on a journey
to catch up with my past
I want to see it all
so I'm not going fast
look around me
things are not the same
developed the land
where we used to play games

watching the sky change colour
day to night
night to day
the real
no pyrotechnics
no perfect views
nature providing the soundtrack
welcome to the old days

under a watermelon sun
the grain of sand casts a long shadow
pointing the way to a butterfly moon
for all to follow

in my minds eye
j a connor Mar 2024
before the light disappears I stare into the sky
clouds have taken on a tinge of colour
horizon beckons my thoughts
somewhere out there is my daydream place
where the past mingles with now
such a feeling of calm
I wish I could stay
j a connor Mar 2024
a window is a gap in the wall
glass can fill the hole
nothing comes in
nothing goes out
without the glass
we can make a difference

I'm awake
at least I think I am
eye slitted and post box red
lining up with the horizontal blinds to create a morning rainbow

once again dear world
I am still here

once again into the night
j a connor Mar 2024
it's evening
close the day behind me
my eyes are tired
nothing to do but relax
into my pre final daily ritual
the glass is primed
the moon flowers once more
this is hope

life is for everyone
let's not interfere because it makes us feel right
why waste energy trying to change and rearrange complexities
that we will probably never fully understand

After Midnight

I live for the night
It never fails to excite
The darkness prevails
Those unearthly tales
My future is clear
My destiny is here

The complexity of humanity can be found in the convenience store

The regulars, not looking to change the daily habits

The passing trade, hoping for a one stop

The lonely, finding a point of contact that may be the only one
                    not buying anything in particular but happy to advise
And

The cashier
                    overseeing all with power
                    never participating wholly in the dramas that unfold

But looking forward to the end of the day when the door closes

So be it

So
Standing in the middle of a deserted
Walkway
I
Hear
No sound
Unusual in a big city
To hear
No sound
The urban crane lies quiet
As does
The crawling Caterpillars
Regeneration is the term
For communal execution
But change is dictated
So change must replace
Amen

Green shoots pry
Into his house
The gardener waits
Listening in silence
And fails
They talk
They plan
Up the stairs
He is there
Our roots are not yet strong enough
But
He is weak
Wait
That noise
Rain
We grow

j a connor Dec 2023
Our world is in crisis.

I represent Kalashnikov.
Although we are currently doing very well in the world, we need your help.

Global conditions continue to be challenging but not enough innocent people are dying.
This causes all sort of problems, overpopulation and environmental impact being just two of the issues now facing our planet.

Please donate as much as you can afford to :

Help us to restructure the world into a far more dangerous place.

Thank you.
