Book Two: Fields Of The Woods Poem by Wayne Sowell

Book Two:Fields of the Woods.

Poem One.

1 There are many fields here

2 All of wood

3 Cedars of the south

4 And knowing

5 The stones of past forgetting

6 The southern streams

7 Flow vibrant here and sing songs coursing.

Poem Two.

1 A dogwood here and there

2 Blossoms flowers jewels

3 Fragrances upon the song winds of the South

4 Candle late in burning

5 Palm trees and dark, at last

6 Written worded done

7 Mastered streams, Lorded woods.

Poem Three.

1 Voices spoken over water

2 Absorbed in the veneer

3 Commandments given to stone

4 The heart should have heard

5 First it was the finger wrote it there

6 Shattered

7 Then done again with grimy hand.

Poem Four.

1 Not all is told; streams hold so much water

2 Not all is written

3 Papyrus is not infinite.

4 The still water

5 Befriended him

6 His soul

7 Found measure there pressed down and shaken.

Poem Five.

1 Music should not be forgotten

2 Harps hang

3 As close as songs need to be

4 Sadness would come

5 Streams would weep

6 And trees would like wood break like bread

7 But first the bush would make itself known in thorns.

Poem Six.

1 Love must be crowned before the dawning

2 Light must be seen from his House at night.

3 Hold the moment

4 There is some truth

5 Gently, gently

6 Hold hands to the light

7 Light stains the wood most red.

Poem Seven.

1 Heart bows in the field

2 Coming to the wood face down

3 A cup was given to truth

4 It could not pass the lips of love
Personal poetry written about my Father and dedicated to him.
