Independence comes

Posted on December 4, 2020 by Lindsay Craik

We endeavor to persevere

Against all odds, independence comes

A new life in the making

An optimistic outlook for our future

A joy to each individual

Their determination will endure

We will overcome

Tough call

Posted on November 30, 2020 by Lindsay Craik

Frost clings to my webbing

Wrapped beneath my mountain boots

I’m glowing in the tough environment

Surrounded by intense conversation

We lunge forward into muddy pavements

Looking all down

Speering the likely

Rushing as they turn

The chocolate release floods out

To capture our targets

The job is done

In motion

Posted on November 27, 2020 by Lindsay Craik

I am engineering solutions, counting leaves

As I kick through my woodland walk

Will the treated walls sustain the painting?

Will the digital performance light my words?

Can the transparent selection reform?

The return through sloe gin to writers’ isolation

Could become a depression

From the current online fluid generation

The magic of our results explode

In motion, they come together

Run for home

Posted on November 21, 2020 by Lindsay Craik

Brown leaves kick up in front

Rustling in my ears

The coughing subsides

Dimming down

Flickering lights draw me

I’m into the shadows

Where the transparency

Of the evening rain

Wets my appetite

To run for home
