Beautiful woman
Posing

Just want her gesture
Her grace
In a line
In a colour
Her essence

The bamboo reeds away in the
elusive wind,

as the sun rolls down on the country side,

The townspeople look on with pride.

true devotion hard to find.

If you are running short

I will give you some of mine.

lithe light lovely words float past
escaping my touch as a butterfly does

Insomnia

I don’t care what
the experts say,

sleep is such
elusive prey,

except when I’m at
work. But hey…

…can’t sleep at
night, so I crash in
the day.

a song
without the lyrics
and the flute
and the scenery
of the elusive countryside
arises out of a silent resonance
spreading the waves of joy
within

Touching the elusive rainbow
Gliding with eagles

The dark gale with fury blew

A tangle of strings
