Where no shadows fall...

A special dedication for a special angel...

Your breath lingers on in the enclave of the mountains 
deep in the valley of green and you have become one 
with the rushing waters of the streams & rivers that 
journey to the great seas; You now dwell in the vast 
and ever changing wilderness, far over and beyond 
the hills with the sparkling white daisies that beckon 
their heads gracefully at you in warm greeting... 

Your breath lingers on in the cycle of the seasons that 
reflect the beauty of the earth - like the blossoms of 
spring & summer and the awesome flying colours of
autumn; You have become one with the wind blowing 
from  land to ocean, from north to south & from east 
to west; You now dwell in the rustling leaves of robust 
centennial trees that hold the secret whispers of time
gone by...

Your breath lingers on, captured in the fragrance of 
your scent so sweet that is now permeating the ever
gentle breeze; Your bosom heaves on and your breath 
is now much larger and wider than the breath of man
and you have become one with the great circle where
you slumber in the cradle of nature's own;

Your breath lingers on in the divine light and you now 
dwell where no shadows fall & where you have become 
one with the secrets of the celestial kingdom - your eyes
glowing through the sparkling stars like sapphires of the 
finest blue and where your smile beams in the laughing 
sunlight...

Each time my eyes scan the night sky they fall upon 
the brightest star far beyond the silver moonlight and 
I never have to wonder where you are; Each time the
colourful hues of the magnificent rainbow arc the sky            
I know that you are beyond the storm - for the angels 
know not only the way of beauty, serenity & love but 
also the way of peace...

Silent serenity...

As the golden ball of sunlight dips over the 
mountains night closes in and it feels like an 
interval, living and dying all at once - while 
holding the magical dream of twilight...

As the swirling galaxies embellish the dark 
skies, I am lost in the silent serenity of the 
glittering dust splashed across the timeless
sky...

It seems to me the sentiments of the stars 
never die as I watch them kissing & hugging, 
loving and cherishing, laughing and sharing...

All the while to the east of the heavens, the sun
light awaits patiently to rebirth...

Renewal...

Renewal is an interval forever slipping through time; It is the 
the drifting sunset to the west of the horizon and the flashing 
'falling stars' that play at night; It is the dawn turning to day
light and the majestic sunrise glowing to the east - It is the gift 
of a brand new day and the hope of another tomorrow... 

Renewal is the great unfurling of wings of a mystical bird, that
bonds with the sun, dying & aborning all at once; It is the primal
cry of a new born child and the re birthing of a soul in the mighty 
heavens; It is the metamorphosis of a caterpillar and the wings
of a butterfly, forever reaching to kiss the sun... 

Renewal is the changing of the seasons - 
It is the gentle snowflakes drifting through the pure winter air 
and the warm spring sun drying the wet tears of winter from 
the cheeks of the earth; It is the grace of the falling leaves in the 
autumn and the burst of colourful blossom in the summer...

Renewal is the ever changing face of the moon and the tireless
earth that journeys around the sun; It is the mysteries & secrets
of the untouched planets - yet to be revealed; It is the rumbling
of thunder breaking open the heavens & showering silver threads 
upon the earth; It is the seven startling colours that splash across 
the sky after each raging storm has washed away the dust...

Humble poet that I am,
perhaps 'Renewal' is much bigger than Man could ever percieve it to be...

A perfect glow of beauty...

I dreamed a dream
Of endless blue skies high above the ocean waves lulling on 
the white sandy shores - slowly breaking then receding into 
the ocean's bed; Of boats drifting on the massive expanse of 
the turquoise waters and sea gulls squawking & circling high 
in the salty breeze before swooping playfully into the luscious 
waters;

I dreamed a dream
Of the sunset - smudges of fiery red & luminous orange paint 
blended on deep blue canvas - exhibiting astounding beauty of 
the most spectacular in the entire cosmos; Of soft pink-pearled 
shells scattered on every patch of the golden shores glowing in
perfect blend with the evening light ;

I dreamed a dream 
Of the howling wind daring the silence of the night and of the
wild ocean waves crashing against the massive rocks that lined 
the endless coast; And of seagulls huddled together on an offshore
Island - beaks tucked in soft silky feathers as waves of sleep wash 
over them...

I dreamed a dream
Of a perfect day far beyond at sea, scenes so spectacular and of the 
most beautiful in the entire cosmos...

A dream far beyond at sea...

of the most beautiful in the entire cosmos


I dreamed a dream
Of endless blue skies high above the ocean waves lulling on 
the white sandy shores - slowly breaking then receding into 
the ocean's bed; Of boats drifting on the massive expanse of 
the turquoise waters and sea gulls squawking & circling high 
in the salty breeze, before swooping into the luscious waters 
in frenzied dives... 

I dreamed a dream
Of the sunset - smudges of fiery orange, flaming red & deep 
purple paint blended on blue canvas - exhibiting beauty of
the most astounding and of the most spectacular in the entire  
cosmos; Of soft pink-pearled shells scattered on every patch 
of the golden shores and now in perfect glow with the evening 
light...

I dreamed a dream 
Of the howling wind daring the silence of the night and of the
wild ocean waves crashing against the massive dumb rocks 
that lined the endless coast; And of seagulls huddled together 
on an off-shore Island - beaks tucked in the soft feathers of 
their bosoms as waves of sleep washed over them... 

I dreamed a dream
Of a perfect day far beyond at sea, scenes so spectacular and 
of the most beautiful in the entire cosmos...
