emptiness envelop me
vaporise my scenery
blow windy through all
that I believe
not just a frosty blue
mountain mist unlifting
but also the honey warmth
cup of the sun in cloud break
– the gift of flight

prayer iii
i don’t wish to trump your love of anything with mine
to give a false security, pseudo-ownership
i only wish to celebrate my own divine
and open heart spaces in which we all may shine
AKH (7th April 2020)

the sunlit moments pass
then and then again
i came to speak of breath
returned in a garden
yet the sunlit moments pass
even pleasantry deflection
from the task
first, not to mask
then dare divine
now, on this garden path
true heart’s reflection
K. H-H / A. H (13th May 2019)
Untitled iii (’19)
Oh Word, protect me from the words
of those so sure of your sense
to claim their limited vocabulary
your State, not the great unboundariedness

Prayer, 19 December 2018
grant me or may i grant myself
respite in a moment
and in that moment’s play
come toward knowing
some in all
enough so that i may give it freely
a special sort of key
that doesn’t have to open
any claim at all
a smile without a reason
scent of roses in the street
shine on a muddy puddle
kindness in an argument
faith when faced with hardness
those green eyes once encountered
the smell of a day as it is born
the year is dying
bring me fire, wine a dancing throng
pyre piled dead wood high
pruned hard this seasons’s dormant depth
light’s long labour so begun
a twinkle in our eyes
we mark in hope this dark gestation
advent
near deepest darkness
years of growth cut back, attacked
not academic
to wonder of light’s rebirth
pray true gleams coming may yet thrive
(c) A. Hurford / K. H-H (2 December 2018)
Prayer ii
sometimes its like the light is speaking
though let’s be cautious of that
not words, nor even suggestions
playing in the water shower’s head
something confirming
