Short Golden Horizon Poems

Wind is the magical force that alerts us
To the sign that Mother Earth is alive and thus
To love all creatures
Compassion she teaches
The golden horizon, the quiet morning hush...

where Eagles dare
the golden horizon seen...
man weary from war.

where Eagles dare
humanity in conflict...
such is intellect.

where Eagles dare
per ardua ad astra...
folly of mankind.

AFRICAN SUNSET

Watching the sun sinking into a golden horizon,
My heart’s glad as I watch the evening sky siphon,
The scorching heat from an African day,
Giving reprieve to all life that may,
Rest until the morrow, now a day older and wizen!...

Softly dance with brilliance 
across a golden horizon
on this  cascading night-
to wrap the shadows 
around the  verdant prairie
where  stars come out to play,
dangling upon night's carpet
as I listen to hummingbird warbling.

Beyond the golden horizon she dwells 
lightening up more than just a dream 
shadows teasingly move 
along with the mountains 
playing out tantalizing possibilities 
where into my vision she'll lie 

Darkness descends with 
submissive amends 
love just a heartbeat away 
passions entwined 
ethereal oils float by  long 
before the dewdrops subside...

Fearless sailor boy, the wide open seas are calling,
As the whistles of thrushes, when no one is talking.
Royal destiny and daring, has led you here this day,
And deep thirst for adventure, will sweep you away!

Always your heart has known, one day you'd set sail,
Into the golden horizon, where contentment prevails;
But the tears you leave behind, has caused you sighs,
Someday you'll be returning, as true love never dies!...

I wonder how it will be ,
The silence as it echoes,
The waves slapping the ground,
The cold breeze dancing all around,
The trees as they whooshed and talked,
The Sun as it stitched a golden horizon,
Finally retiring from it's monotonous job.

What a magical moment it will be,
As an instinctive smile creeps within.
When stress and pressure be replaced,
By satisfaction and glee,
I wish I could experience this daily.

Beyond the golden horizon she dwells     
lightening up more than just a dream   

shadows teasingly move   
along with every movement made   
playing out tantalizing possibilities     
where into my visions she lies   
  
warmth   
simple warmth 
lain at the foot of discovery 
washing the worry away 
   
dreams   
simple dreams 
of the sun   
where days never fade   
and love sits a heartbeat away...
