I saw a fly trapped
In a long abandoned spider's web.
The web weaver moved on to better pickings
Or herself taken by a bird,
...
We are physically linked to every living thing
by the common biological thread of DNA,
giving us eyes with which to see the world
and skin to feel the sun.
...
From the moment of youth
To the high noon of forty
The shadow of evening
Will be with you all shortly.
...
Sooner or later any spectacles
You may find in a junk shop,
Will help you see more clearly
For a while.
...
Put your earth in harness
Planting bulb and seed
Then await the happy miracle
As they find the sun they need.
...
Robert Lenkiewicz was right.
Every single thing which life has come through,
Is a one off, unrepeatable, unique!
...
Four billion years ago small life dies;
After three billion years
Enough small stuff has lived and died
To enable bigger stuff to live and die.
...
Life...is an enormous
Incalculably huge
Succession of nothingness...
Followed by a series of little moments...
...
Spring out of bed with a smile
Even though you’ve got backache and piles
Make the most of the time you are given
...
I think I thought
I may have been,
From where came my nose,
Perhaps too, a dream
...
