Twilight

Twilight

Twilight

Twi-light: twixt day and night

Where blue skies are coloured pink

And the dark slowly falls on all,

Blankets and subdues tints and hues

To blacks, greys and hints of blues.

I thank you, God,
for giving me
the ability to see
such beauty in a tree.

Dancer in the Mist

* Edited

.

A study in greys, the lake and the trees,

She appeared in the haze, swirls of mist in the breeze,

A phantom, unreal, like a dream, a part of the scene.

She danced and entranced as, gliding gracefully,

She drew closer and closer with each sweep

Of her feet, until gradually she stopped

Within reach of his arms, outstretched to touch

This vision of beauty. But she wasn’t there –

Naught but the cold damp air.

Sounds of Music

.

one

single

gentle

pluck of the chord

and the sound

vibrates, resonates

stirring the air

shivering, quivering

in my ear

.

one

single

velvet

breath of Pan

and the sound

sooths, smooths

through ev’ry pore

calming, embalming

my core

.

one

single

tender

tap of the skin

and the sound

rebounds, resounds

lost and forlorn

a beat in the tempo

of time

.

Maker of Heaven and Earth

Tanzanian Landscape

Maker of Heaven and Earth

.

Who can deny God

When the beauty of the earth

And the wonder of life

Give us proof

.

From the harshness of Africa

To the gentleness of Britain

And the starkness of the poles

His existence is written

POETRY

~~~

The use of magical, mystical, musical

Words in the weave and weft of verbal tapestries,

Painting pictures in shades and tints,

Writing rhythms with thumps and bumps,

Thwacks and slaps,

With calming, soothing deviations, variations

Juxtaposed to compare and expose,

Reveal and disclose

Moods and sensations,

Perceptions, impressions…

Beauty

 ~

 There is beauty

In even the most

God forsaken

Desolation

Beauty in

The cold stark lines

Desert sands

Rocks exposed

Rainbow coloured

Layered bands

His mark is there

His name engraved

Etched in time

Emblazoned

In the sky

With every sunrise

Sunset

Giving the lie

He does not forsake

Abandon nor disown

His creations

His works of art

His magnum opus

~

Autumn Falls

Autumn Falls

~~~

A tentative breeze

Wafts through the trees

And fall-coloured leaves

Of inconceivable hues

Drift down to the ground.

With barely a sound

They carpet the floor

Leaving us speechless,

Astounded in awe,

By beauty sacrificed

As before.
