A Moss World Poem by Barry Silcock

A Moss World



Carpeting each curling climb, clouds wind tossed
Glistening dew, gloved in green hues, wet stoned moss
Wet and wipe weary tears come tumbling down,
Clothing a pathway, tree trunks now tower and stoop
I pause, standing: mind drinking, but spirit kneeling,
Leaves and oh so; such soft shoots,
Moss worlds away in feeling, but
Man, oh so beauty-blind, oblivious in scorn.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wrote this poem in April 1987 after being inspired by Gerard Manley Hopkins's poems. I dedicated it to two good friends of mine - Malcolm & Margaret Bennett of Saltburn-by-the Sea, England. After 25 years poem dormancy it was high time to re-issue this poem!
