Poetry: The Apple 🍎
by Liam
I have read ten thousand pages
Learned the scriptures and memorized the
Speeches of the
Wise, old and true
Yet you over there
Watch the silence of air
Unfold in patterns
Untold in beauty
This transmigration of thoughts pure fruit
Plucked from the tree of Love
It’s gentle branches embracing my mind
Its soft leaves giving shadow to my rest
It’s roots anchoring my life in the reality of today
Sing, while I cry in joy
Thankful for this sweet taste of life.
Poem: Evening
Evening
As this day now leaves to lie,
Rays once warm they fill the sky.
In colors changing to heaven bright.
The blues to hues of reds, the white the golden might.
Of a day departed and with me too.
One more moment of bliss complete.
Of touch and love of fleeting happy you.
Yes, you an angel dancing high.
Dancing clouds you cross my eye .
Your horizon lies with me this day.
You fill the night with a starry sky,
with sparks,
with thoughts,
with dreams,
with intervening flashes we unite.
Build a picture, a cosmology ,
A heaven, a party book of light.
Closing now my eyes to sleep
The wonder in my breast I’ll keep.
Till waking neigh on mornings wing
A new, a day together we’ll sing.
Poem: Midnight Swim
by Liam
Last night I tiptoed through a starlit sky
Warm the air, the splash of ripple
A seagull cry
A twinkle, a smile, a squeak of joy
Both I, the moon and Saturn too
We all alive enjoy this expance
Of a Milky Way on a clean dark night
Of shooting stars from left to right
Of this all encompassing romance.
I splashed my feet in the warm wet sea
The dark, the water, of feeling free
So swimming out to touch the light
Left by the moon on this starry night
My soul rejoicing, I sang a song
Of life, of free, of me
Of being part of infinity
Feeling love for this moment strong
Reflections,
Images of a cosmic night
Revelations in the dark,
A universe we see, we touch
So much to comprehend
The beginning and the very end.
