contains some of my present and past poetry. |
Ruminations In the dense darkness of the night A light in the distance Brightens my path off wilderness. In the sandy dreary dry desert heat A shady oasis soothes, Satiates my thirst of many miles. In the scorching summer as the hills singe in hot winds Your cool concoctions and jaunty wit Create colourful images in and around me. On a night of the thickening twisters of gale and storm I spot a remote cabin shelter, Offering warm comfort with its well- lit hearth. In the sharp biting chilled winds of winter The mild sun smiles at me through Grey skies dispelling depressive cloud cover. When March walks in wearing beauty and delight Linking hands and hearts, you and I Share spring sweetness and memorable moments. In the enveloping embrace of grief and shock I chance upon the radiance of joy In the mellifluous flow of melodious music. When loneliness coils around my heart and soul Your caring loving embrace Restores my perspective, putting me back on track. In the jungle of chaos and constant confusion Your words of wisdom keep me above The morass with a pleasant stream of thought. When my heart is torn asunder and dreams shattered Your beautiful benign smile Sends solace, sweet joy and undying hope. When noisy thoughts crash on the shores of my mind Your magnetic child-like charm Ebb their flow, reviving my spirit with tranquility. When death comes knocking on my door You will hold my hand as my soul Merges with the graceful ambiance of heaven. Lines: 36 Open Prompt |
