Spinning World (for Made For Girls)
From restless night, to winter delight
Out for an early risers stroll
Dark though the hour, I’m able to see
Moon light illuminates ways before me
Frost on ground; assisting sight
Low to the left, hill to the right
As I walk the line between
Foot step, heartbeat, numinous silence
I become part of all that surrounds
Visible breath; a symbol of life
Breathing in the cold clean air
Stretching the boundaries of my mind…

Half Way Mirror (for She’s Waiting)
I found a windows glazed reflection
Condensation across the glass
The mist seemed not upon my side
I made a tunnel with my hands
I could see no prey in the predator’s eye
Gates closed on the hunter’s path
Spirits; risen on the moor
Chased the beaters from the heather
Sophistry had lost its way
Along the vista; jocund life
Beams of bright contrition light
Searching for the darkest places…

The Fable (for Poetry & Fairytales)
She arrested the gait of a unicorn
With a leap off sand by tranquil sea
Take for your blessing a message from me
Deliver in a shower of woodland starlight
Shimmering gaze of covetous green
Thieves in the rock by Delphic deep
From pool to breeze unseen is she
Concealed in the folds of an easterly
Down the valley to the western city
In and out ruins of ages past
Powerful music; hidden in strings
Long- time friend of harmony…
