Mary Burford Poems

Where is the one who sat and thought
Thought and searched for knowledge he sought
Read and looked, felt and worked, dreamed and schemed.
Was it for self or a loved one dear
...

Floating on the surface of the sea
The board beneath rocking
Goggled, I gazed below
Looking into the inner watery world
...

The dancing twinkles of the stars
Child-like glow on darker ground
A fatherly moon looks on
Earth leaves the door of night ajar
...
