Dance to Love

A tribute to my Dad, the late - Wilfred Forbes

she danced without a care
With sun kissed skin, her arms flung wide
Wild flowers everywhere

I chanced upon this secret glade
while walking early morn
A sacred aura...

When the dawn kisses the dew on all thing that grow
and that first melancholy thought, ponderous and low

POTD 6th August 2019

The clock ticks down the passing day
Tedious seconds count down my existence
Time for my pills ~ Time to call the nurse
Time ~ taunting my resistance

Soft haunting strains of a violin float
sweetly liquid, melodiously unchained
freeing my mind from weariness faced
No barriers ~ it...

Soaring
Free as a bird 
No wings to restrain us

Spring heralds the dawning of brilliant bluebells carpeting the woods 
Silently they slept until the warm sun rouses them from slumber 
Gently they open their eyes, stretch and bask in nature’s glory

A gallant moon extends gold fingers to me on the dance floor
as I slip my legs into the chorus line of tall, green grass with ease.
Like a spiraling leaf, I’m free until eyes freeze upon his tracks....

Splashes of scarlet and violet blend into blue heavens
While soft, white, feathery clouds rise like angels taking flight
Over memories of Monet’s Artist's Garden at Giverny.

Grimly he comes.
Day after day,
hour upon hour
second by second -
for centuries
into eternity.
The face 
beneath his dark hood
he will reveal
when he comes

Pale sunrays spread like songs
To burn away the shadows in
My soul....

hues across lustrous sea,
then brushes clouds as bustling day
falls still....

While a lattice of gold asters sheds its dangled petals, 
I cringe against the intrusion from rainfall's unforgiving wind.
Through night's hush, moist blooms graze my arms scenting my quietude.

When sunset red unfurls and glows
each beam an opal groove and veil,
till August floats  in warm repose
when sunset red unfurls and glows.
The nightingales warble in rows
Bewitching hours as I exhale;
When sunset red unfurls and glows
each beam an opal groove and veil.

Plastic Playground


The plastic playground sits on land,

Land now defaced of nature’s scheme.

Scheme offers colored shapes pristine—

Pristine like board games played inside.
