Duncan Stephen Poems

Have you seen mirages?
Suffered hallucinations?
How about apparations?
Strange appearances?
...

Breathing, soothing, calming
Serenity, peacefulness
Beauty, Spirituality
Awareness
...

Thank you Mother Earth
For the breath I feel from your mouth
As it passes round the world
Through my body
...

Childhood, adolescence,
At grandma's house
Children in tin bath in front of fire
Water everywhere
...

Black families taken from home- Africa
Bought and sold like cattle
Families split tears of grief
...

Out of bed at six thirty
Make wife a cup of tea
Feed the cats
Cup of tea for myself
...

They come and go
Winter-cold and white
Spring-season of growth
Summer-hot and sunny
...

Living in the past
Well the past is the past

Living in the future
...

I came upon a mystery one day
Whilst cutting the lawn
I heard a loud clang
Whatever could it be?
...

What happens at death?
The curtains shut forever
Putting you in permanent blackout
It happens eventually
...
