One Night This Darkness - a Collaboration With Darren White

One night this darkness – A Collaboration with Darren White  


One night this darkness will end life
with clouds in damp fog without stars
and a moon dressed in tatters screaming
at feet scratched on pebbles in low-tide
rough water to sway one and stumble
 
Maelstroms twist, turn and swallow fish
in an icy-cold winterland with rickety wrecks
Stranded with thundering crashes ashore
leaving flotsam resentful on soggy sand
The roar of firebolts raging around
 
And the sky will fall in guarded shadows,
streaks painted in dripping revelations,
shades of nevermore patina
eroding encrusted thoughts into gaping holes,
swallowing what is left of the dream
 
The artisan's hand glares down from the sky,
gouache in thick streaks in tangerine rage,
a knife sticking out scraping clouds
Unstable equilibrium shakes easel unnoticed,
genius vision or prediction of doomsday
 
When the unthinkable, unfathomable happens,
in silent sunbeam glory a single bloom forms
Tiny roots navigate a desolate landscape,
gently removing soil from fractured stone,
caressing sorrows in springtime whispers
 
Dark clouds now cast warming farewells
as blue sky canopies float like streamers,
singing in harmony with endless beliefs that,
one night this darkness will end life,
until dawn’s resurgence is reborn

Killick

As I sail through this life, adrift, unmoored,
I wonder where the current will take me. 
I know I'll have to traverse rough water, 
smooth water, calm, even rapids on this journey.
I hope to find love along the way, along with
happiness and joy. I hope that the days over
troubled water do not overwhelm me nor 
outnumber the days of calm. I want to see 
the sights as I drift along, feel the current
on my feet. 

I want to travel, to see nature,
to feel the breeze. I want to experience all
the wonders of this life. I want to spread
happiness and joy. I want to mean something 
to someone. I want to create, I want to read,
I want to write, I want to see, to just be. 
I want to soar with the clouds, sing a melody 
with the sea. I want to feel, to touch  
and hear everything I can before the killick 
must moor me.

To Bring Our Family Closer

To bring our family closer together we went
For a walk in the myriad shades of green 
Forest on a long light brown rough hew log
Pathway that goes through the woods 
With a rope going along the top to hang 
On to. We completely got away from 
Society.
White flowers were growing through the 
Logs on the left and right sides making
This a beautiful scene with an aromatic
Bouquet. The sun shining through the 
Trees up ahead of us was giving off an
Autumn reddish brown glow to the leaves.
We had to face an actuality
Since we lost a child we needed a different
Type of family activity.
When Melody was alive we would all go to 
The beach cottage to enjoy the sand, water,
Sun, and sea breeze.
Now to bring our family closer together we 
Went for a walk in the myriad shades of 
Green forest on a long light brown rough 
Hew log pathway that goes through the
Woods with a rope going along the top to
Hang on to. We completely got away from
Society.
We wanted this family vacation to give us 
A new family memory without any 
Reminders of Melody taking away our 
Gaiety 
Or making anyone feel ill at ease.
We had to face An actuality.
Nature gives off a form of energy.
As does our grandchildren when their 
Playing with our Maltese.
To bring our family closer together we went
For a walk in the myriad shades of green 
Forest on a long light brown rough hew log
Pathway that goes through the woods with
A rope going along the top to hang on to.
We completely got away from society.
This was brought to life as we used the
Rough water fountain and the bathroom
Facility.
We were in a time freeze.
We had to face an actuality.
I am happy to report this vacation was a 
Victory
For us as a family. Everyone was pleased.
To bring our family closer together we went 
For a walk in the myriad shades of green
Forest on a long light brown rough hew log 
Pathway that goes through the woods
With a rope going along the top to hang on
To. We completely got away from society.
We had to face an actuality.
