Sophia White Poems

It lurks.
It drools on the threshold of my mind –
Nameless, heartless beast,
Waiting, ever waiting, for me to take one – step – out.
...

The moon is not yet grown -
It is at the doorstep of maturity.
But still its light comes down
Through the broadleaf wood.
...

I had a dream; I was a girl with wings.
Huge wings made of pure white feathers
I could wrap around me to stay warm
Or to hide; I often had to hide.
...

This is the moment the planets align
And the stars hold their breath in the sky…
This is the heartbeat you’ll never forget
Though you may never know why…
...

All this reading can’t be good
For a little girl like me.
My mind always distant in
Those lands of reverie.
...

I bow to none that walk the earth
No man or beast or demon.
I bow alone to God above
Who made the earth and heavens.
...

A little ham
A little cheese
A little pickle
Voila!
...

Musinamor Beach is white in the sun
And along the hot shore the waters run
Under bare feet the sands burn
My walk along Musinamor is not yet done.
...

Standing still am I
With glazed and distant eye
Hands at my side and still
Incarnate Mind and Will
...

If I could live where ever I chose,
I’d live in an Abbey by a dusty road,
With mice and squirrels, otters too,
With hedgehogs, moles, and ‘licious food.
