David Harris Poems

We live in a word
full of flags of different colours
that dance in the wind.
Flags of many nations,
...

The roses in my heart
will bloom for eternity.
The garden in my heart
stretches around the world you see.
...

Some bodies are so well lived in
they look older than their time.
Hard living has aged
every crease, wrinkle and line.
...

The Land

He stood tall against the land
he called his home.
...

For JoAnn and Meggie

Sometimes friends think
they’ve dragged you down,
...

In spring, the flowers grow,
in summer they bloom
with all the colours of the rainbow.
Their sweet scent fills the air
...

A ribbon of darkness
streaks across the sky
as far as the eye can see
to beckon on the night skies
...

You have a place in my heart
always is what I say
that I will never leave
whatever comes our way.
...

Victory beyond our senses
in the bright congealing light
makes nonsense of our thoughts
that spill out through the night.
...

There are many ribbons
that our armed forces wear.
The brightest one
that stands out the most
...
