Short Circumspectly Poems

As the shadows lights the dawn;
Cover me moon--
Darkness covers the light;
Surround the sun--
Shadows embrace the dark'
Cover me sun--
Circumspectly haunting light;
Surround the moon;
Eclipse

SIFTING REGRETS

Bright coloured buckets— yellow, red and blue
Tiny holes underneath—sifting sand breezing through
Children on beaches, simple treasures of nature
Beautiful shells revealed simply-- effortless labour

Sifting circumspectly our lives with a fine-tooth comb
Examining—separating debris – our island home
Wasted years, accumulating material clutter
Relationships, precious moments - time closes the shutter...

Possess the land of your heart
For cares of the world can cause
Our hearts to become compact!
Don't let hope be deferred
It's time to plow our hearts
And let the dormant seeds
Grow and flourish once again!

Time is cyclic, take a step back
Look at the situation, see your part
Walk circumspectly and align with time
Let time work for you, redeem the time
Then you'll see your vision come to life!...

Adroit in this quagmire so meticulously infused
I yield yet the ground beneath me moves
Alone in a room of people I stand confused
Attune in this menagerie so materially abused
Seclusion notwithstanding I relinquish, capitulate, cede
Devoid of qualm I succumb daftly to the lure revealed
Subdued by my rivalry I prevail, endure, exist
Simply a nuance of distinction I concede permit
Infantile I accede yet somehow circumspectly survey
Surreptitiously I allocate the acquisition of the day...
