He walked the hall of darkness Toward where the light had shone But the headlamp of the coming train – Was on He strolled with tunnel vision His eyes deceived by rain It was only a short shower – Umbrella’s sweet refrain He dawdled down the road less travelled He heard thunder – […]

My garden’s seed
A smile’s what you see in summer When the sunshine stays awhile Happiness follows suit – Dressed to impress, in fashion’s latest style Where is undue wariness? Where have despair and illness gone? Could they not stand the heat that day – The day that sunshine shone? I’ve been down in the valley Where despair […]
Taken
Terrified, I looked beyond My ocean, river, Lake – my pond Tentative, I thought I heard The high tide lap ‘gainst beach-heads prize The rock jumps from the page. A vision’s sight With sty in eye Urbanised, I look away – ‘Scraper, McMansion – Mortified I reminisce in disbelief As faith […]

Pictures and words
Words, they drew me unto you An easel read to me A letter, brush A page, a stroke Mono-syllabically Delight, to write A bird, in flight A feather on the floor Chapter, aloud In front of crowd More come through open door Sit anywhere Drawn to share On easel is a portrait […]
Tomorrow, today
Every day I live Is yesterday for me A life half gone – but Yet to begin Every day I live Is tomorrow, newly found A life, renewed to Live without, within Twenty-four hours Passes by Today’s tomorrow now A life I dreamt But never thought Would come Three days ago Was […]
