I close my eyes to find a place
In different time and different space
And in imagination find
A cloistered arbour for my mind
...
'Oh sweet breath of eternal life
Dance ever `pon her silent breast
Released from pain and worldly strife
The one I love is laid to rest'
...
After the rain the air is sweet
With glist`ning pools beneath my feet
Raindrops dripping down from the eaves
Teardrops slipping off shining leaves
...
A single rose with thorny stem
On mother nature`s tattered hem
Which no-one cares to steal away
So left to wither and decay
...
Such princely and linguistic feats
As penned by Shelley, Byron, Keats
Though rich and eloquently grand
Are oft` too deep to understand
...
I saw the face of beauty fixed
Upon the rising sun
Beyond all mortal compliment
Her loveliness there shone
...
Today I slipped into a dream
And saw a better world
A world of peace and gentleness
Before my eyes unfurled
...
I sat beneath the Willow tree
And cried in sad lament -
The Willow wept because I wept;
Despaired and discontent
...
I am the wind that blows in your hair
I am the joy in the smile that you wear
I am the grass that cushions your feet
...
