Daleen Enslinstrydom Poems

In this house where shadows like old age
are cast and hidden under a big oak tree
life had a different pace in the days gone by;
this used to be a joyful place
...

In the dim twilight after the darkest day
I stood back and watched as He hanged lifeless on the cross
and I do recall His last words
just before He did draw His last breath of life
...

With the Sabbath almost upon us
as the sun is setting in the west
we had just laid Him down in the tomb.

What does it avail me
when I win the world
but loose myself?
...

When God created you deep within me
He left His spirit in you,
His love overflows in your heart
like the rays of the sun.
...

With brown stripes in his eyes
he peeps at me
as if he does want to say:

of my endless tomorrow
and you are more than just a mere image,
more than just something that I conjured up.
...

Last night I had the most amazing dream,
I dreamt about the awakening of spring,
of all the hopefulness
of the blossoms on the trees
...

I have always loved to have a picnic.
and laying down on the short grass
with my hands behind my head,
looking at the clouds
