How much do we miss? How much of life is lost to us through our refusal to take off the cover? What do we refuse to notice, to observe and engage with?
Lightbulb moments and creative spells

There could be a power cut. I might have neglected to pay my bill and been disconnected. I don’t seem to be switched on, or having any lightbulb moments. It seems I am having a barren spell. Perhaps I need to seek a different spell. Crave creativity under nature’s light… seek and spell.
I want to bubble wrap the world
I want to bubble wrap the world…
to protect others
to protect myself
to ease the bumps
to lessen breakage
to save for later
to keep pristine
to stop the hurt
to prevent hatred
to harbour peace
to shield the sensitive
to secure what’s precious
… but I think I’ll just burst my bubbles
