Daleen Enslinstrydom Poems

When the horse and carriage enters the farmstead
the old farmer stands anxiously in the blazing sun
to greet the doctor
and with his hat in his hand
...

Out of legends it comes to reality
and in the darkest night
it brings the greatest fear
when in the full moon it lurks
...

When the day begins
with the silence of the morning
and the sun is still asleep
I lay warm in your arms
...

A mother’s love is like an ocean
that protects and provides;
and like a garden
it’s full of beauty and strength
...

When we went to sleep last night
as the darkness covered everything
the moon was full
and outside
...

How does the time fly by, my love,
and days are replaced by each other
and months fade away
like darkness in the light of the sun
...

(written in memory of their lost)

You came like the beaming light
of the morning star
but goodbye is so difficult
...

Its mid December,
the sun is high up in the sky
and it’s a beautiful day,
a few clouds are accumulating
...

I had travelled the waters of the oceans,
I had seen many a starting sun,
I had climbed the highest mountains
and walked a thousand miles,
...

It was during the witching hour
and ominous the moon did gleam and shimmer
through the skeleton of a eucalyptus tree
and with the tree’s bark stripped away
...
