As I work through old stuff I find the themes that had me just write to capture ideas, words, and I always wrote on a theme, which in a creative period ends up somewhere, and often deleted, depending upon the mood.

Dave


Real originals of Stone then Echoing Mirrors

With respect I face you on a bad day
Rippling chimes of wind
To preserve my ego

In your face
The presence of life
For you have life
In an inanimate
I face you on a bad day
I come to you to bring me life
I sit before you, have the time
I await the wind, the cleansing rhyme
I face you as I should
With the wind crescendo
I face you

I am dirty
I come to be cleansed
I come for your peace
I come for an end

No-one in this life knows
You're innermost thoughts
You are to them
A game
For me
You bring a feeling of strength
You bring the past
You tell me of the future
You give me peace at last

Echoing mirrors on a reflection of torn thoughts that in spring danced in buds to steal hearts
We danced in spring tilting hair to delights in grass
Becaming an image that danced as we thought of flowering next year
In winter warmth as the caress of the high trees touched the bark in the winds
And we made ideas as gentle and empty as thoughts watching bright fires fallen to lost images
Sparkling in the fire we feel to know
As dawn rises to in summer heat moving winter cold to spring ideal
