Daybreak

A poem pubished.

Waking from slumber, the darkness envelopes

but light creeps over the horizon, putting out darkness

slowly the grey is streaked with pinks and peach, mauve

morning is come, greeted by the sweetest joyous song in chorus

of birds who celebrate the newness of day, the growing light.

So many dawns, so many counties, views, I have observed this glory

so much the same and yet unique, and now my harbor is washed in peach,

birds awakened start their song waiting for the sun’s appearance

This is my loved outlook, so many I’ve been, Nowra, Austalia,

always on my mind, and Brussels graven to memory

Orion Returns

December 9, 2019 Written in August

To the east, lest the Sun arise from slumber
the ghost of the shimmering summer dawn
reveals himself in the heat of the season,
hunting for souls who dream, to mesmerize

The winter hunter strays from the frozen north
taunting, enticing, those who will be his prey
a spectre of the sky, before we awake
He casts his nets, his arrows, his poison darts

World sleep on, the Moon has not yet swooned
in Sun’s jealous skies, room for no other till she tires
and sinks to her bed, Orion will find
those who seek him in the darkest hour
