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
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
You have found in dreams
love and beauty, fervent as
a fiery moon
amidst the lingering night
in love’s sweet song
the symphony
of every beautiful sonata
This moment in time
a twinkle in your eyes
as brilliant as the sparkling stars
heaven of diamonds
sweet dreams and charm
of tender night.
A summer night’s magic
under the starry sky
singing with brass
woodwind and strings.
~
The way they danced
in the misty moonlight
the music played on.
~
A splendid night
it’s wonderful
it’s marvellous
I’ll remember.
Window with ocean view
I hear the sound of waves
lapping the shores
like the mellow timbre of violins
playing sweetly
before the rising sun.
A thousand mellow strings
of captivating violins play
melodious birds sing and dance
in beautiful harmony.
Salad days are here again
leaves and summer fruits
of colours bright
dark green
light green leaves
crinkly and crisp.
~
Tossed in to mix
with bright red and yellow capsicums
some avocado, tomatoes
juicy cucumbers
drizzled light in olive oil
juice of an orange
cracked pepper
and some walnuts to add
to a refreshing crisp crunchy
appetiser for summer.
As evening shadows fall
A nightingale perched on a tree branch
sings by the light of the silvery moon
The twinkling stars
glittering like diamonds
across the pink sky
Sparkling waves on the lake
dancing a moonlight crescendo
a moonlight crescendo.
Like myriads of twinkling stars
on glistening waters
Tiptoed the graceful movements
of the ballerina.
~
The Swan Lake played
Gentle ripples
Echoes of the waves
Rhythmic movements
of the ballet.
~
The music of the night
orchestrated the strings and bows
To an art of
evocative music and dance.
