Landscapes lying in the stone.
You and I are not alone.
Suddenly what’s far comes near
When the starlings reappear.

I enjoy walking, poetry and short prose as well as taking pictures with my phone.
Architectural Marvels
How Does Your Garden Grow?
Turning round from flight
From cold wintry blight,
We stay.
Colorful and bright
Rainbows raise out sight,
Display
Gardens growing right
Where there once was night
Today.
Linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge with the theme “how does your garden grow?” and to dVerse Poetic Forms featuring the “lai”.
Mysterious Things
Mysterious things
That soft, cool light brings -
Be true.
With silent, sure wings
My memory swings.
Renew.
Take care. Poison flings
With doubt as it springs.
Dark fear creeps and clings.
The shrill discord rings.
Be kind.
Forgive. There joy kings
The lovebird who sings
To find
That soft, cool light brings
Mysterious things.
Linked to dVerse Meeting the Bar. I will be hosting this Thursday with the theme of the lai and lai nouveau. Come and join us. Also linked to Debbie Roth’s Forgiving Fridays.
For the Love of Light
Up and down, round and round,
See the wonders on the ground,
Soaring beauty full of sky,
Full of gratitude and I
Will praise the truthfulness of light
Seeking dawn through darker night
When evening coolness hints of love
Up and down, beyond above.
Linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge where the them is “for the love of..”. Also linked to dVerse Quadrille where De Jackson (WhimsyGizmo) is hosting with the word “up”.
Limbo
Early every day
Turn my mind away
From sin.
When I’m lost, astray,
Let me let you stay
Within.
Now I choose and may
Your desires display,
Begin.
Linked to dVerse Poetics where M (grapeling) is hosting with the these “limbo”. It is also an example of the “lai” poetry form featured at dVerse this month.
The lai poetry form is simple. The required rhyme and syllable counts flow under various meters.
