Adrian Wait Poems

Have you ever watched a day?
I mean really absorbed it
As it begins in silent blue
Drifts to the first shafts of light
...

Sunlit Clouds unveil,
A foretaste of eternity
No artist brush
Confines this Glory
...

My brother Martin,
Forgiveness your gift
Grace outpoured
Faith in action, Love
...

Death was on the tree
Draw the lot, Cast the dice,
He died for you, and me
Tearing at the cloak
...

Matchbox cars, and three sisters
Plastic sandals and whipping tops
Fresh cut grass and summer nights
Falling leaves, cobwebs captured in the frost
...

Solitary bird, what do you see?
Perched upon the highest part
What sights fill the eye?
Rain soaked feathers
...

Eventide
Ebbing shadow of Eventide
Friends, loved and lost
Severance exposed within my soul
...

What words
do you want written
on your Gravestone…
...

Folding the last edge of the paper
he pointed the folds
into the palm of his hand,
closing it in a clockwork swirl
...

Did no one tell the pigeons
That the Cinema was closed
For they sit in silent queues
Moving from foot to foot
...
