Forever in the wind, the gale, the tempest gone……
though, lingering caress of cheek and thigh remains		
as does the precious memory of fires glow.

One day while wan’dring far afield 
I heard a tortoise shriek 
“Oh, curse this shell, infernal cell…
I haven’t got all week!”

I dropped down low, I snuck up slow 
then spied him through the brush
and though...

I can feel the wind brush through my hair.
The sun kiss my skin.
The shade rolled in and my eye lids opened.
The meadow grass swayed near me.
The clouds, whiter than snow.
My nails dug into the dirt...

Pictures of our past, swirl gently within 
my conscious mind, some make me grin,
adventures we had,  when young and joyous 
our loves, our gains, things that did annoy us,

memories connect to our favourite songs
heartache...

Dawn has arrived, rays of gold split the night
The sweet rhythm of birdsong, a morning delight

Sunlight sparkles like diamonds, glittering upon...

I woke up today and found
frost perched on my town.
It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down.
When the sun turns traitor cold
and shivering trees are standing in a naked row,
I get the urge...

My braces are pinching me and I remove them but really I only want to get closer
The harder grasses prickling our arms but why does she complain so little

The sun beats down and the clagg...

The ocean like smell is carried by cool summer breeze
The wind murmurs between the trees
From the past the future flees
Time moving slow like amber colored honey made by bees

Like a river time flows
Where it stops...

You squealed with joy, O' darling child,...
on that autumn day, white-washed with clouds
Your gleeful laughter could be heard
As we traveled through the rolling hills
where farms were scattered, red and brown

Your captured eyes, through the windshield...

SPRING   SONG

When this  lovely vale  begins to spring back to life
Crocuses in blue and yellow  unfold their tender petals
And reach wide-fingered for the warming sunshine
While the daffodils jostle for attention...

The chestnuts are in full flower while the sycamores are humming with bees,
Meadow grass is knee deep and full of flowers the dog rose climbs up a post,
And the cowslips sway gently like the sea...

What would I say to you my love
if I  should chance to meet you yet again
in the summer rain
whilst I were walking in a field of flowers of the sun,    ...

“Lord, mine enemies multiply,
bootlicks grow brazen.
Put thy boot upon their necks.
curse all no-nodding nay-sayers.

Silence.

David:

Silence.

“Answer me when I call You my righteous God.”

A Voice:

Read me a sweeter...

You roll over the edge of an eyelid, measuring your body 
through a window.  
    Once you fit, you go outside of yourself
    where the sky is rising....

Yellow pieces of weed eater line..
Red tattered piece of old shop rag..
Blue traces of a worn out old tarp..
White shredded remnants of a plastic bag..

Cattle guard rattled teeth
Dummy locked gates swung open
Loose gravel wound roads
Descending into deep rutted
Belly washing mud paths
Bouncing and shaking
Halting and laughing

Long bending meadow grass
Old log barn with perfume of cedar
Cool trance of spring fed creek
Hydro...

      Our walk among the jaded trees, in dappled shade, a blanket spread
You picked among the meadow grass,...
