~ A Child of the Woods ~


Born a child of the woods
where trees were my mother
green leaves my father;
the creatures my siblings, 
our playmate ~ the river ~
where days were spent collecting stones,
floating leaves, gathering twigs;
taking strolls through bordering fields
filled with meadowsweet ~
stretching out on this Queen of the Meadows
~ releasing her honied scent 
and dancing with butterflies ~
arms spread wide, then flung in a hug
around an Oak,
a Beech,
an Alder,
a Birch.

~ Calico Silver Air ~


Calico silver air
strokes the sea
to a perfect calm,
as the ghost 
of a breeze
teases the trees
into telling
their aged tales.

A bird cries its woes
as it flies to the sun,
its black feathers
shining blue.....

While grass gives birth
to yellow stars
with hearts of green 
for leaves.

~ A Whisper of Red ~


Surfers in a silver sea.
Moon hours away from full.
A whisper of red in the west
~ from the sun's leavings.
Turquoise sky.
Mountains black.
Waves in sets of quadruplets.
The drums of my ears
catch the rhythm of incoming tide ~
full and pregnant
like the moon.

~ LIVE ~


Should you go to true love ~
to skies so blue
and warming winds;
to summer birds
with songs
that make you weep;
to flowers with
colours deep enough
to make you fly,
and trees with 
leaves so green,
: :
 breath them in,
and live.

~ A Dream of Stardust ~


I had a dream that
I held in my hand ~
the rising moon, 
the setting sun, 
and Mars
: :
: :
a cosmic trine spinning
on my outstretched palm.

With a Tranquil Sea
and a Bridge of Light
and a frozen, snowy Ice-Cap.
: :
: :
When my fingers curled
to hold them close,
they spiraled free
:

 Stardust

~ Sea~Wave~Erosion ~


The rocks of the sea,
curving in water,
barnacle-dressed
and salt-washed;
spilling white 
and black
down to the bay
where, 
~almost~
I hear your
sea~wave~erosion.

~ Walks the Moon ~


In the wood
a tree bars stars,
guards Venus,
walks the moon
and moves light.

~ Crystal Sea ~


Drizzling shadows of a river,
flow to blue meadows
from veiny, far~off hills
to the crystal sea.

~ Light, Like Water ~


Light, like water,
innocently shrouds face
and endlessly
glares reflection.

Avoiding smiles,
someone calls.
Deep. 
Invisible.
Clenched.
Crouching.
Wild.

Whitened tears
and blinded sounds
sleep in clouds.

~ Breath ~


I am hungry.
Starved for the nourishment of trees.
I am gasping for air.
I need to breath, 
in a womb of green.

~ Time to Go ~


Lying,
listening,
hearing
birds prepare for slumber.
A harsh wit-wit, a soft brt-brt,
rustling feathers to get more ease.

Moon
half-faced,
pale, growing,
inching across a lapis sky;
pulling tides, pushing moods
to breaking point - without no never mind.

Yellow stars, heart-shaped leaves,
closing against sunless cold.
Snowdrops ragged. 
Time to go.
Time to go back inside.

~ Snow ~


Snow, transient white.
Melting away into green.
Echoing crystals.

~ Firelight Shadows ~


Firelight~shadows on old white walls
make a story for all who see;
flickerings and dancings
in hues of red and gold
with a dash of blue,
a hint of green;
a puppet show 
for the imagination.

Fire and wall meet in a whispering
slow waltz,
rudely interrupted
when the light goes on ~
and the magic is gone.

~ A Cry to the Wind ~


Trees talk to me.
Leaves singing counterpoint
to the birds' chorus,
as low clouds
kiss my hair silver black;
and Ravens fly towards me
with their message in their eyes;
and I let loose a cry 
to the wind.

~ Soft Night ~

Light from a boat, nearly full moon, Jupiter. 21st September 2010

Soft night.
Silent moon-arrows
open the evening,
sliding fiery, blazing music
on the air.

Blow the sleek sea
and remember home.

~ An Autumn Afternoon in Gwbert ~


I remember the grey silk of the sea ~
a dull silver~pewter,
ironed smooth and flat,
and holding her breath,
in a perfect still~point
at that
moon~pulled, 
turn~of~the~tide moment
on a mild, pearly,
autumn afternoon in Gwbert.

~ On the Rim of Long Summers ~


A golden tree ~
A drum to beat
Strong and sweet
On the rim of long summers
with hot blue seas.
Slowly seabirds
fly across the sun, 
and, running through
bright air,
I shout out the
fun I cannot contain.

~ Ghost Walk ~


Walking around oaks
grave and silent, 
we failed.
We stood by stone
where flowers and words
were born in the landscape
::
and sitting in fields,
with tears,
as bards and poets
in flowing white, 
ghost~walk
around roots long forgotten.
