Here are some more of my poems. 

----------

 

Oceans flow and steal the shore

They leave and then come back for more

And all the while the land stands still

A giant eaten by water

 

The mighty oak or stately yew

Will far outlast myself or you

But still these regal elders fall

At ignorant hands of mortals

 

While the world turns in

Destroys itself

The few who know

Stand fast

The light will come

And peace will reign

The balance restored

At last

 

In broken land the flowers grow

In merciless flame the new shoots show

All the anger in the land

Cannot hold back the cycle

 

Wild hearts will love and seize the day

Their will is strong, they know their way

To walk in line with love’s demands

Is the only path home

 

While the world looks out

Frozen in fear

The few who know

Stay calm

They look within

To find the Light

The loves makes us all

Disarm

 

No fear, no hate

So all remains

A finer fate

Where true love reigns

 Promise & Understanding

 

Watch the ocean

Chase the shore

Escape away

Come back for more

 

And so let me

Run free and light

Then I’ll come back

Before the night

“Pick-Me-Up”

 

When you are tired and weary

And your light is growing dim

Remember to breathe

And take with each breath an angel

To replenish and illuminate

And so let the only draining

Be the draining of that apathy

And float among the stars

Until your feet can again tread water

And bring your soul to shore

“A Thousand Words Can’t Describe”

 

Tourmaline and cherry blossom

Crystal water and flowers

Silver birch and ametrine

Celestine starshine bowers

 

Diamond eyes and roses red

The earth that grows the seed

The ragged wing of rain-soaked bird

And broken hearts that bleed

 

Miracles that grow in tree tops

Dew and still waters glisten

The scent of morning after rain

And hearts to nature’s poet listen

 

Stars in the cosmos, coral in the sea

A thousand hearts are beating

To the primeval rhythm of Mother Earth

A thousand ways her greeting

 

Moss-dressed log, and sunlight caught

In the web of spider-woven care

A taste, a sight, a smell, a sound

A touch will take you there

“The Summer Maiden Fair’

 

Behold the summer maiden, fair

Autumnal gold shines in her hair

Her skin is pale and deathly cold

Still beauty is a sight to behold

 

Her dress a robe of woodland green

Her emerald eyes hold mysterious gleam

Her hands upon a lyre of gold

Her gaze mischievous and bold

 

The golden sun shines on the boughs

Of sacred trees this place does house

And the Folk of all surrounding land

Give praise to the summer maiden, grand

 

In wildwood yonder, bathed in green

Concealed from view, he moves unseen

Green Man watches, his kingly stare

Upon that summer maiden, fair

“No Going Back”

 

Into the woods she goes, she goes

Secrets of old she knows, she knows

Faerie lights that guide the way

Lead her where she’ll always stay

 

A rustle of trees she hears, she hears

The sacred grove she nears, she nears

Songs and whispers make it true

Faerie Queen will let her through

 

Faerie Door she knocks, she knocks

Through she goes, it locks, it locks

Mortal time has let her go

Faerie time will now be so

 

In mortal world she sleeps, she sleeps

In Faerie world she creeps, she creeps

Into the circle of light and cheer

World of wonders, she likes it here

Faery blessings to you all.
