“I love how Caspar elegantly opens a pathway into our inner landscape through poetry and the visual arts.”
Old Ghosts
By Caspar Walsh
When to say, yes
when to say, no
to the old echoes
of an old soldier
guarding a tiny, sun burnt island
day and night
decades after the end of a great war
guarding old ghosts.
When to say, yes
when to say, no.
We draw invisible and visible lines of protection
why wouldn’t we? After all the cards we’ve been dealt.
And when the time comes
when death no longer follows us as it did
we step back
and begin to learn - from scratch
to protect now, what is vulnerable
sacred, vital.
We hold our crooked old sword up
glinting in the amber light
in service to what we believe
to choose well, that’s it
the choice
when to say, no
when to say, yes
what’s it to be?
“I was searching for a constructive way to process a lot of my past experiences and am so grateful to have connected with Caspar.
He’s given structure, guidance and most of all kindness at every stage through this on going process. It’s so important to have the right person close by and essentially impartial to my ego.
Really enjoying the entire process.”
