Shore-side Rocks below, soon to be swept by the tide On the horizon the sun sets Fading, flashing from behind the clouds Around me the land glimmers Evening dew from the retreating rain A lone swallow flits overhead Following the flight path of a seaplane Each have emerged from the storm Flying from parts unknown Changing wind herds sky sheep Shadows and light Sunspots in my vision create A blue Buddha sits in lotus Arms folded in disapproval Shaven head bows as I watch Gaze wanders and wings appear Bigger than any living creature Cousin to a foreseen bird Grey feathers with bare skull of white It’s eye shifts with the breeze We blink together and it’s gone Introverted mind Quickly distracted Cry of an unseen seagull Halting suddenly in air mid-glide It sprouts leaves and drops down Changing, flowering, soon a tropical daffodil Sunflower Dandelion Remembrance of aforementioned cousin Sun fire streaming over bronzed feathers Outstretched wings Fierce hooked beak and blazing eye The Phoenix soars on high Above an abandoned supermarket Gripped within blackened claws Skeletal remains Rigid outstretched neck Of a life-severed plesiosaur Even the sun avoids this one Each day a new adventure Take a moment in between nothing See Everything exists Within Without Imagination returned It was on holiday Awaiting opportunity It snuck in an underground window And threw open old and undiscovered cupboards Mess Chaos Fun -------------------------- I quickly wrote this up while reading through the Dark Poetry collection. Bare with me, I haven't edited or punctuated it yet. -------------------------- Beauty can be found in all places, even within the darkness of the soul. |
