Those Eyes

Those eyes

Spoke volumes

Without an utterance or sound

Without a touch

They glistened brightly

Like reflective pools of Sunshine

They glittered full of dreams

Floated high above

To amazing heights

They danced in rain

Drizzling all around

Spreading calm and peace

They   laughed   softly

Touching hearts

Like musical notes

That spoke of Life and love

Eyes living without haste

Silenced in shadows

Closing the shutters

Like a final curtain call

When closing

To never open again

To share with us once more

Your eyes most beautiful

Said more than words

Could tell…

Love lived there

As did   I  …..

I Paint Pictures

I paint pictures

From the deep

On the skins 

Of forests sweet

Weave thoughts

 Like spider webs

I’m no mover but, a shaker

Sprinkling all with bits of rain

I’ve lost love like autumn leaves

Keeping close those honey bees

I Skip stones

Skilfully throne across the lake

Skimming the surface

Breaking circular waves

I am a grain of sand

With grand thoughts

And bigger plans

If my movement not restrained

Not caught in pits, dips and swampy plains

My mind moves without feet

Savor love, admit defeat 

Float above the foaming sea

Fall into the vast blue deep

Here at last I take my leave

In the Blue forever sleep

The Burn 

(The Amazon is Burning)

I smell the Earth is burning

And out of doors, I flee

No fumes, no fire, no cinders

The smoke and burn 

 I’m sensing

And yet no fire I see

Could it be, me, that’s burning?

Synapses quickly shorting

While love is steady flowing

From hearts to Earth by sea  

Is Heaven softly calling

In smoke of clouds I see?

The money men are churning

And hiding like the sheep
