Echoes of an Ancient Call


Patterns

Patterns etched on the mind
of the seasons
of dry
in dust
and desolation
patterns of fullness
greens
and verdant plains

Patterns of the moments
within the seasons
the dawns
and the night chorus
the heat
and the lulling of the senses

Patterns of comfort
and insecurities
for it with the seasons
that our souls are held

From: Patterns

Death of a butterfly

Life did not hold your beauty
to itself forever
nor death
the abstract patterns,
patterns
splayed in mud,
not in cruelty,
but in colours
and shadows,
mere moments
washed in a storm
into the season

From: Patterns

Reflections

In the silence of us
A visual feast
An audible orgy
In the sky
And reflected
In the light
And shadows

Reflections
Of time
Of seasons
Sky
And silhouetted islands
Reflections
Of a yearning
For an ancient paradise
Reflections of ourselves

From: Reflections
