Counsel
Pause, and take a breath,
before exhaling one more
thought, in hasty speech;
for words, as water, spilled out,
can't be returned to the heart.© Simon J Ashcroft, 2026

Cave Dweller
Look deeper, and see
the darkness of the shadows
within your own heart;
chasms eroded by years,
hollowed by experience.© Simon J Ashcroft, 2026

Dark days and black trees
in the fields of Trumpistan
poisoned food rampant
while the corruption rains down
from the White House like hot coals.Photo by Sippakorn Yamkasikorn on Pixabay

so that there will be ripened
fruits by the end of summer

Mirrors
The living and dead
walk together, in my heart,
as ghosts joined through time;
I am a mere reflection
of all I was, and should be.© Simon J Ashcroft, 2026

Another day dies,
but each sunset promises
a new dawn awaits;
and each dawn anticipates
doors that will open, or close.© Simon J Ashcroft, 2026

Demand
Tides rise, fall, return
with relentless urge, to claim
one more piece of land;
the heart of stone gives itself
a sacrifice to the waves.© Simon J Ashcroft, 2026
