As the sun closes his weary eyes
And the stars begin to blink
The steadfast hills are sombre
As they exhume the souls of the dead.
...
The desert pours
From the empty heart
& heat-waves wither
The arid soul
...
The brooding sea is restless
Her deepest moods
in flux;
As if her anger's building
...
Hours slipping by, days speeding past,
Weeks & months whirling,
As giddy moments die.
Brief, fiery shooting stars
...
Warm & solid
Is the sun-baked granite,
Splashed with colour is the painted sky..
Flashes of lightening, and storms that pass...
...
Shivering grey skies
Usher in the icy morn
O' er countless wintry houses
Huddled close for warmth.
...
Twas Jack Frost
Who held the land
In his grip of ice and snow
And the poor ones shuddered
...
Marshmallow clouds tinged with pink
Turquoise skies of endless blue
Golden joy, in sun 's warm praise
A day divine, celestial..
...
Put away your sadness
Save it for the day of grief
which comes though we bid it not
Sadness has no place
...
Twist the knife
Thrust it deep...
what ecstasy the agony,
what cruel gain
...
