Walk The True Blue Way* Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Moonstreams flowing across a sea of wheat
quicksilver on the puppet kernels
emphasized in the motions of the tide.
Growing in chemical nutrients
a profusion of growth possibilities.

Layers of stratus encircle mountain peaks
coloured pastel yellows a cool summer’s night.
A golden sheen upon the fields
a ghostly white across the rocks.


What is the specific value of man?
Release from caged confinement of imprisonment now
imagination - nourishment beyond stasis dimension.
Preservation, of accumulated knowledge, comprehension
latent will, freewill, and overt, ability to act.

Perplexities the metaphysical mystery of life
cynicism a way of covering embryonic emotions.
The flea poised between animal and deity.


The shadow on the rock.
Its there its gone
its never been
and yellow rains
falling from a blue sky.

Wealth Happiness...
like a shadow
fleeting the world turns
and they are gone.
