Fay Slimm Poems

Sailed through the distance
On rolling-wet waters.
Out of my vision.
In heaving white foam.
...

Looking around at earth's varisome face
We often feel lost in the masses of souls
Who surround us with life which appears wholely
To differ, from race to indifferent race,
...

Shaking a fist at what wishes her harm
Calmly facing her fears of troubled alarm,
She fishes, heart deep, when a drama,
Which threatens to flood her with tears,
...

To know we are special in someone's life
And accept the caring attention shown
Is the mark of free sharing, gives the right
To receive as well as to give - loaning
...

Bent trees are a proof of persistent storms
Which batter against many defences
Incessantly blowing off-course, warning
No-one ahead. Gales, determined to drench
...

Clocking time idly, cargo boats lie open
To sky, emptied and hungry, their restocked
Trade held in containers, secured and roped.
Standing amazed I watched them stowed and locked
...

Not with much thought, brought about by the mind
Do we sweet freedom ultimately find.
Only with heart can minds' link be broken,
And a start made on doors which can open
...

When pain re-appears please enter the sphere
Of my heart, find warmth and departure
From past hurtful happenings.... dearest,
My soul reaches out to your needs, heartening
...

In a hidden golden land
Beyond the rainbow, standing
Only a hearbeat away,
There lives a smitten lady
...

Today is the 'flowers and hearts' day, no
Ordinary Saturday this, but a blissful
Anticipatory day, which can flow
From the soul of love. Valentine kisses
