Poet's Spell

This is another example of just hearing a couple of words somewhere and a whole poem growing from there. This one is a departure from my usual themes but I felt that a change would be good.





Poet's Spell - 01 Dec 10

The piper plays
A merry tune
But within it lies
A hidden melody
Carrying a secret
From ancient days

The choir sings
Tells of days
From whence the mystery
Comes
And grows
Within the sacred grove

The piper and the minstrel
Duet
Offer the words
To charm the trees
And wrest the
Ancient stones to dance

Mortal ears can hear
If they choose
But so often
Will ignore
The song before them
And the choir falls silent

Who will join the poet now
To weave the words
To bind the song
And allow the melody
To grow again
And charm the world





I wonder if this fits into any other sequence of poems I have written - I suspect that the answer is yes and it may be a way of rekindling the energies in them.

I Am...

This poem is a kind of reminder to myself as well as to the other people in my life - the message is for all.

Only just realised that this poem is nearly 24 years old, can it really be that long since it was written?



I Am... 19 Jul 85

I am the Jester
Into your life I try to bring
A little laughter
To wash away the tears

I am the Piper
Music is my gift to you
To help you sing
The songs
Which tell the hopes
That make the living better

I am the Wordsmith
A play, a song, a poem
All these things
I give to you
To make your world
A little sweeter



I hope this poem has made your life a little sweeter today.

Love you all...
