David Wood Poems

June burst forth with sunshine blest
Buds awakening on the stem of trees
Life awakens like a treasure chest
And butterflies flutter in the breeze.
...

The woods, aye, they do decay,
The ivy creeps forever upwards
From the ground to the canopy,
Up the trunk that rots from within.
...

The new dawn broke into a clear blue sky
Shadows of people emerged into the light
Fruit lay in fields over which skylarks fly.
The start of the day and the end of night.
...

Whoever has not
Sighed on a midnight pillow
Has not truly loved.
...

I wander along an empty shore
As a gentle tide slowly recedes
Among the sea weed and sea shells
That crunch quietly underfoot.
...

I see her every day, but for a long time
There was silence, a huge gulf, a chasm
That you could pass a planet through.
...

Sun in the desert
Creates hazy mirages
Not to be trusted.
...

Yellow, then soft pale orange
Slowly lit the morning sky.
Blue ice shrinking every day
With each sub zero dawn.
...

Should I die tomorrow
Lay me with my wife
Shed not a tear of sorrow
For I have tried my best in life
...

Dawn's birth
Nightingales sing
Sleepy bluebells waken
Sparrows bathe in the morning dew
...
