A Song Of Hope

When evening slips

into the silence

of the night

Through threatening clouds

and pollution’s haze

Beyond the hills

city lights dim

Moon peeps

above distant horizon

and yet, yes

A song of hope

for a new dawn

Beethoven blowing in the wind

Let This Be

Something still

A dreamy melody

and your sweet refrain

Scintillating stars

across the twilight sky

Born to shine the glow

the glow that lives with us

For a million years

Stardust in your eyes

Take to heart and mind

Innate Optimism?

A new environment

Fleeting or captivating

Capacity for dreams …

The Crescent Arc

Sweetgum trees

silhouette majestic sunset

Enchantment with artistic wonders

highlighted by the crescent

on nights like these

Across edge of twilight

where soft lavender hues

tell the tale of

the golden arc

~

The night is clear and cool

sliver of crescent moon

hangs bright in the sky

radiating a warm glow

reflecting beauty

illuminating this autumn night

Wide Angle View

A dreamy lagoon

Peacock blue waters

Yacht sailing

into the sunset

The elegance of stars

Glittering

A magical glow

Melody Of Roses

Sweet and gentle

Alluring days

love and splendour

Love’s allegro

playing softly

Fresh scent of Spring

Love’s pure joy

Scarlet roses

Melody of love

Imagine …

As I fly over

vast stretches

of miniatures

I see tiny trees

minuscule rivers

sheep strewn acres

on meadows

of wildflowers

A sky like a marble top

cotton wool clouds swirl

and drift against

the shadowed lilac hills

into a soft beige

landscape of the wild country

Great Southern Land

enchanting landscape

of beauty

Summer Sweet Summer

Moonbeams kiss the sea

How dreamy the magic

of the summer night

The stars above

Star of love

Music and splendour

I remember

that lovely melody

with a thousand echoes

a summer breeze

Summer sweet summer

Awake Dawn

The ocean chorus sings

Sound of lapping waves

Scent of the sea

How sweet the air

Breathe all that is

Surely as the sun will rise

A Scent Of Verse

 Waves of imagination allure

Dreams of creativity inspire

a poetic voice

A Certain Tenderness

Spring

when flowers

speak and sing

I listen to

the gentle rain

In nature

one of those

leisurely moments

A bird sings

Listen

Now there’s nothing

but complete silence

Listen
