02 from 02

A couple of poems from 2002, I may show a few more at some time in the future but for now...



Racing the Illusions 01 Nov 02

Smile...
The illusions are
Slipping away

Your dreams
Are stronger than
Their reality

Drifting through
The mid-morn sun
The dew is just a memory
On your feet
Like cobwebs
Across your face
Gossamer threads
Weaving through
Your dreams
Caressing your memories

So smile...
Watch the illusions
Fly

Smile again
Spread your wings
And soar beyond them



Afternoon, Going Home 19 Oct 02

In the still
Of a slow autumn day
We sat
And we played
Our little, gentle games
And our music
Filled the afternoon
Drifting slow
With the clouds
Gently playing with the sun
As slowly he goes to his
Place of rest.

Evening
Comes slowly,
Adagio movement
As the moon slowly rises
And Venus slowly sets
With the sun

Our song is sung
The words are now
Complete
The music
Fading
In the afterglow
The stars are shining
In the night
And dancing
With the fireflies


Candles burn
Undimmed
In the window
To call us home
To welcome us
To light our way back
To the place
We belong



Hope you liked the offering for today, I enjoyed re-reading them. Sometimes I find that it is almost like reading something that someone else wrote - given the time differential, I suppose it was someone else.
Farewell from all versions of me then, till next time.
