A poem by Jim Deeds
[New City Magazine – March 2021, page 23]
The fear of things
Not yet come
And that never will be
Maybe
Probably
The great liar
Lies in its lair
Laying and lying
Loving lack lustre
Lives lost
Trust: the friend
Fighting for you
Fighting and forming
Forever affirming
Confirming, fulfilment
Nose to the wind now
Scent out the path
Unknown, nothing to fear
All is new, now
This is it: live
From the book Soul Seasons by Jim Deeds. Published by New City (2021)
- Soul Seasons is the follow up to Jim’s book of poems, Gym for the Soul, and was written over the space of two years of observing the seasons as they came and went, both in the world around him and in his own life and the lives of those he loves.
