Gull Glides

A gull glides slowly 
Through the cloud-grey sky
No sign of hurry, 
No hint of worry
Content thus to fly.

Dramatic contrast 
To the traffic down below
Human hurry 
Human rush
As though its sinful 
To go slow.

Maybe somehow
In a very little while
I’ll let time take
Its gentle course
And gull-like
Peaceful go.

The carriage with Mr Mihai Eminescu glides silently, unseen

The carriage with Mr. Mihai Eminescu glides silently, unseen,
Through the whispers of Iashi's stones, wrapped in its own mystery.
How long and tiring is the journey through boundless realms,
Emerging from the shadow of the past, with old, untouched stories.
What secrets are hidden among the stars, in shining constellations?
What mysteries sparkle in the vast cosmic night, trembling?

The Goddess Glides

In satin gown resplendent 
A vision independent 
With eyes of green she hits the scene
A regular attendant 

She passes through the door 
Then glides across the floor 
A look of grace upon her face
A goddess evermore 

She then begins to dance 
The men are in a trance 
They only stare while frozen there
Too scared to

And a White Gull Glides

 
the sky is a hazy blue sea today
and a breeze touches the tree tops
and they sway like emerald waves
oh, there is a perfect silence ...
though hidden birds chatter and twitter
and my flowers tremble
while others are ...  perfectly still
and my hanging 
ivy is creeping and twining 
and somewhere a wind chime
pings once 
and a

Dragonfly Glides In

dragonfly glides in
encouraging buttercups
giving roses hope

faerie follows her
inspiring my bluebells
and rose of Sharon

butterfly flits by
always spreading love and joy
garden complete now

Autumn Glides Away

There lies a way to heaven by that lake,
My sickness gone, I fear no chilly mist;
A redwing calls me, dawn is now awake,
The fragrant autumn air I can't resist.

There is my home far from this cottage small, 
Where honeysuckles with gold aspens mate,
And purple sweetgums love their mother Fall,
Oblivious of their harsh wintry fate.

November Rain!

Striped Butterfly Glides By

Soaking up the sun's rays this morning, loving my flowers in oranges and pinks, I look up as a striped butterfly glides around two bushes, and swirls around my chair, pirouetting prettily.  She is not fearful in the least, possibly believing me to be a statue.  A bird makes a chirp sound; only

She Glides

She glides up the staircase
Such a sight to see; angel face
Like she's stepping up to the heavens
The clouds seem to part but it's just the curtains
To welcome her, graceful being
I wish all could see what I'm seeing
The thoughts she elicits
Wondrous, inquisitive, illicit
She keeps me guessing daydreaming
Undressing, distressing, caressing
Her skin smooth like a polished oak banister
With
