Delice Arleen Skelly Poem
Musing on this life of mine
Alone I wonder if it's time?
Robin sings in my heart
Fluttering wings like cupid's dart.
Have been hurt, no doubt caused pain
Hearing robin's song again
Before I journey who knows where?
Know angelic wings will take me there.
The time has come and gone again
I'm stoic now what's left to gain
The universe will keep me here
Perhaps a day, perhaps a year.
A harbinger called to seal my fate
My gentle songbird set no date
Listen carefully you might hear
Angelic music have no fear.

Sunlight filtered gold
Shadow dance on autumn field
Indian summer.

Grandmother's linen
Brief look into bygone day
Antique memories
Soft monogrammed sheets with lace
Carefully laundered.

Delice Arleen Skelly Poem
Breath of fresh air is what I need
Where is that dog? where is that lead?
Need to blow all cobwebs away
We're off right now we won't delay
Ocean is calling salt on my skin
Waves are rolling seagulls skim
Skimming the waves a joy to see
Dog is barking he does agree.
High on the cliff, we enjoy the sight
Webs blown away all is right
Inner strength I begin to feel
Spring in my step so very real
Navigate ladder down to beach
Dog finds freedom he's now unleashed
Seaweed, and pebbles a pretty shell
Until next time a fond farewell.

robin's melody
rings true from the Hawthorn tree~
sweet sound among thorns.

old bones feel winter
joyful log fire spreading warmth
lethargic comfort

Delice Arleen Skelly Poem
When the solar winds stir magic
Unleashed beauty a riot of colour
It undulates and swells, ecstatic
In darkness I stand and wonder
Colours sublime capture my mind
Turmoil of life far, far away
Life on hold not counting time
Arura Borealis forever and a day

Delice Arleen Skelly Poem
My solitary self was needing space
Fortunately know just the place
Walking briskly soon be there
Gulping breath of pure fresh air.
Winding path, know it well
Soon be in heaven away from hell
Hill is steep with twists and turns
Far away from worldly concerns.
Puffing, panting pinnacle reached
Now all worries can be unleashed
Under dome of azure blue sky
White clouds sail, I softly sigh.
Winding path a simple test
Knowledge eventually will manifest
Golden time with vast universe
Doubt swept away from things adverse.

bright stars call to me
captured by the void of space
seduction of night
threshold of maybe, what if?
quest full of expectation

Delice Arleen Skelly Poem
Goblet of moonlight overflowed
Spilling glow, dusting ground
Spread over deep winter forest
Creating oasis fey folk found.
Moonbeams hang on denuded trees
Magical warmth spreads its glow
Forest creatures for one short hour
Join fairy folk in happy tableaux.
Enchantment fades it will not last
Winter will not be usurped this way
Silence so cold all creatures depart
Memory savored until spring day.
