Short Glide By Poems

dark eagles glide by
nary a written flight plan
I marvel at them...

Leaves that move along
As the limbs drift gracefully
Softly they glide by
In the breeze of the autumn
Pleasantly cool time of year

A moody spring breeze
playing in the brown cattails;
heat waves dancing on water.
Dragonfly hovers
watching a turtle glide by;
a water snake’s making waves.

days pass
   times past,
glide by,
so slow
 is life in the
         shadow:
lyrical times
   long forgotten
absences no
     more remembered:
a blank future
     lies ahead,
an empty wasteland
of cold years...

Time
Our stint
Together 
Seems to glide by
Two days feels like hours
Those moments I cling to
Memories, like air we breathe
Till we are no longer apart 
Mutual love and trust our measure
Intertwined no longer you and me, us…...

lyrical times
         forgotten
absences now
      remembered
days pass
of
   times past

days
glide by
      so slow
 this life in the
         shadows

a bleak future
     lies ahead
in
an empty 
   wasteland
of cold years...

Within the stillness one can hear etudes
from the birds that evoke a morning rise,
tranquil are the streams that glide by 
ferns quiver from the touching breezes
quietness elicits and stirs full vibes
which infers that nature is truly a place for solace....

The male weaver bird is inspired to make a beautiful nest
Female weavers choose their mate based on whose nest is the best
nests are intricate and fine, delicately and artistically made by this guy
excited male hangs it in the sun to dry, waiting for his lovely to glide by....

here they come again
windblown fugitives of gold
dancing with flowers

sun's shadow dancers
green fluttering leaves darkly
silhouette party

purple birds glide by
dusky beats upon the ground
trembling, shade fruit vines 

in a dance to night
movement in grassy marshes'
dynasty of days...

You watch the river pass you by 
Wishing that small sail boat would  glide by
Remembering  fun filled days you spent  foating by
Carefree sailing as your  days of youth slip  by
a single rose is launched today , one last sweet goodbye .



pretty sure nothing like but had a go lol

I walk barefoot on the beach
Where the water greets the land.
Waves with their wet fingers reach,
Then retreat from where I stand.
White foam fizzles on the sand.

I pick up some rocks and shells,
Watch the shorebirds dive and fly
As the ocean ebbs and swells,
Plovers skitter, seagulls cry,
Soundless pelicans glide by.

A multi-colored lover’s kite-
the type that tickles souls of light,
soaring high, up into the sky
imitating birds that glide by 
with unconcerned wind. Oh, kite, fly 
fly and fly and watch pink smiles lie
on earth, with scent of chamomile 
pampering, childishly, the sigh-  
of glade’s noonday erotic rite, 
so perfect, for my lover’s sight!...

bare footed, 
I roam through a field of bunny tails
gentle steps left behind in their path, 
tell the story of my trail 

open space is wide enough,
to hold onto what I keep inside
I can let go of what’s killing me slow,
and give birth again to what died 

peace rides within fading clouds
looking up towards a blue hour sky,
freedom seems so close as
white wings glide by...

COOL BLUE DESTINY

a cool blue crystal daybreak as
moon departs shimmering stars
on the sea

in silhouette they stand alone
warm from inside out they swig
down brandy

seagulls cry their morning pleas
gather swiftly orbiting boat
drifting free

fishing rods wait hooked with bait
as glistening scales glide by
decoys plea

oceans bounty captured as
frantic wide eyed last breaths meet
destiny

Irony of Life

In the quest for more, desires take flight,
A luxury car owner envies the jet's height.
The motorbike rider dreams of the car's gleam,
While the cyclist longs for the engine's scream.

The one on foot watches the bike glide by,
Yearning for wheels, a chance to fly.
And the one with legs, in silent plea,
Envies the walker, wishes to be free.

From planes to feet, desires interlace,
In the irony of life, we all chase but nothing.

Oh Lake O

Water surrounds
Birds chirp
River flows out to the lake
Steady 
High
Trunks of trees under water 
Top of trees like cauliflower 
Ebb
Flow
Sailboats don’t notice
But the old lighthouse almost kisses the blue water
Clouds look down on the blue
Wide like the ocean
Harbouring life
North American border born of past glaciers 
Flocks of birds glide by
Swans dive, devouring the rich bounty
The air is peaceful 
The feeling is divine 
I call it home......

Standing by a tree, rifle on hip
Leaves red and yellow like a Viking ship
Watching from the shadows, a poachers eye
Silently waiting as phantoms glide by
A noise, just a bird on the forest floor
Preening and dancing like Madame Pompadour.

Footsteps follow a distant call
Crouching like a woodlouse in a steel backed ball
Face in the dirt, a mouthful of leaves
Hiding in the gloom, nobody sees
Silence, nothing but another ghost
With the stealth of a tiger, moves back to his post....
