DAY BREAKS
By this pool of stillness its
water unforgiving,deep and
mirror flat, a blue moon
ephemeral, below white-coated
peaks,Bleak and surreal.
The transient image all too soon
dissolves and ripples into space
as water through my fingers.Then
daybreak tinges the nigrescent sky.
DAYDREAM
Sitting here,into my daydream
drift meadows of stooked-up sheaves,
midst close growing clover,
in wind and rain toppling over.Catching 
minnows with jar and net, in streams
where pooh-sticks once were raced ,
each, slip into  memory's embrace;
Exploring fields across that brook;
studying in nature's real-time book; 
Childhood that ebbed  away on sunlit seas
return on the breeze in an eerie dayspring
light. All my yesterday's glow so bright

without-
the waning sun
warms my face
shalom cloaks
the wells within


with a tremor of light-
daybreak tinges
the nigrescent sky grey-
the horizon appears
distinct in my mind's eye

on the wind
a bell tolls
memories surface-
words unerased
the image fades


huddled together
from the sheeting rain
the unbrellas mob the hearse-
then in twos
slowly separate

spoor tracks
imprint
the virgin snow-
footsteps of yesteryear
echo in my mind

the diary
fell
pages scattered the floor
memories lie
just out of reach

chill breath
of dawn lights 
upon my window-pane
nighttime's promises
freeze into crystal

above the still strand
shrieks of seagulls
die on the inshore breeze-
our twin footsteps disappear
as sunset dissolves

november the fifth-
layered rolls of liquid fog
envelope the bonfire-
the party becomes a
damp squib

a single owl screech
breaks the silent
November night-
the Hunters moon
waxes blue

Summer,past its best,
pampas reaching heavenward,
trees about to rest-
Japanese anemone
as far as my eye can see


hanging from the trees
winter fog welcomes the dawn
and obscures the light--
cobwebs shimmer
necklaced to the hedge

hunger haunts each daytime hour
coldness kills at night
thus
nature's foodchain
perpetuates

chill breath
of dawn lights 
upon my window-pane
nighttimes promises
freeze into crystal

fog at dawn
necklaced cobwebs
allure
entranced
passers-by

above the still strand
shrieks of seagulls
die on the inshore breeze-
our twin footsteps disappear
as sunset dissolves

the heatwave
of an August dog-day
a flash
distant thunder-
rain drops

november the fifth-
layered rolls of liquid fog
envelope the bonfire-
the party becomes a
damp squib
