Alan Strand Poems

Your soul is shrouded
In a drab grey mist
So off you go
To be amidst
...

The gibbous moon shines on me
Upstaging stars above,
My feelings flow out into space
Searching for my love.
...

I need only to gaze at stars
To find your sure love
In the clear immensity above.
They’re diamonds in my eyes.
...

Watery cocoons
Save themselves from fleeting deaths…
Floating down to die
...

Come back my Love
For cloudy skies grey
And bright leaves fall
When I reach into the night
...

What’s a Dad to do
When he has a girl like you
Tugging on his pants
And heart at the same time
...

The water in the placid bay
Is but a black mirror
Reflecting a miscellany
Of Christmas and street lights
...

We are honoured to be
in your circle of friends,
To witness your promise
to share Love’s dividends.
...

Get off my heart
Heavy stone of pain,
Let my spirit
Rise from the dead
...

Shimmer at me, shore lights,
Dance on the water
At the will of the wind
That gently breathes on me
...
