Snapdragon

Or, as Ian says... a "dragonsnap"!


A snapdragon is
a boy
grinning gleefully
chomping into life

The Heavens Declare

Sentinels of the night
still and silent
Are roaring furnaces
surging & bursting
Rushing away at
unfathomable speeds
Sending messages across the gap
Bobbing gently upon waves of light
Arriving millions of years late
Even the night sky is a veil
-like the blue cocoon we adore
Twitch it aside,
what will we see?
The One who wears stars
as his crown?

Evening by the Lake

Brilliant
autumn leaves glow from within
sun-caught jewels
spice is in the air

Slivers of night are falling into day

and the breeze is carrying

the memory of morning

The sludge of toil is washing away

a wind is blowing-

like that first quiet breath

which awoke my soul

Twelve red roses floated to me

-your hand is warm

we are silent together

stones beneath our feet

listening for the wind, the birds, the muse

The clouds are gauzy and colourful

rolls of darkness are hurrying behind them

night is coming

our words grow misty

We are climbing together.
