Circles Of Life Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

bouncing baby
brook
sang briskly
laughing chuckling
boasts
joyous spontaneous
youth

as sleek
silver waters
giggled gleamed
over mossy
creek bed

bubbling glittering
tittering
down alpine hillside
dancing
dainty fragrant flower
strewn
summer meadows

leap waters dance lively
dew
luxuriant greener grass
lining
banks magical margin

dance
tune timing defining life
dance
throughout dusty
day’s heat;
throughout circular
simmering summer night

past winter’s
biting
ice lined lips
through suffocating snow
fish frolic not
forbear
frozen stunned dip

ice sheets melt crisply
bubblingly
as spring seasons hot
stagnant wastes
slumber
awaken pervade
sluggish lowland bog

foreshadows
final descent
out beyond
sleepy seashore

where is first found
wide running road
far spread fame fed
distant dream shore
