Sunday's Softly Settling

The Ghostly Crowned Thief

Skating blithely, 

Sliding, slyly

Crystalised snow shines bright.

Etched in filigree, 

Dusting the canopy

Carpets of frozen balm.

Ordained in a shimmering calm. 

Softly settling on petal and leaf

Winter huffs in like a ghostly crowned thief

Soothingly singing to freeze

Damaged life and severed decrees.

Hush up your frantic old fuss.

Slow now, and yet in a flush

Store what you can, and watch your own breath

Rise in a fog of laughter in gusts

Tinkling joy as onwards ice thrusts

Those who are weary 

Hear hush-a-byes cheery

See nothing but twinkling delight.

Unsung Sunday Song

Battle Plans At Dawn

The birds report in evening song

Rabbits confer in fields

And as the day distills ere long

Descends a blanketing shield.

 

“Calm now, rest” whispers Nature,

“From the ravishes of man,

We’ll begin again tomorrow,

To salvage what we can.”

International Day of Peace 2016

Doubt and Deceit

Doubt and Deceit were married by Anger

Witnessed by Hurt and Pain.

In guises of reason, they committed high treason 

To enslave honest folk for their gain. 

Patience wed Tolerance by Compassion and Care

So Joy rallies troops on her steed.

Theft is abuse, so this armoury's true use

Is to nurture and to nourish those in need. 

Honesty and Trust were married by Love

Witnessed by Faith and good Hope.

Shining forth to light, by helping all to stay bright

For binding to Harmony's sacred rope. 

Courage honest troops to silence nincompoops

For humanity like Peace wears a veil

Be sturdy and true, cling to valour, (please do)

And Sense will blow Calm to prevail.

Sunday Felines, Feeling Quite Fine

Two Cats

Conscious infuses

With wary muses

On softly treading toes –

I know not where she goes.

Curious now stares 

With artful repairs

Homeward with an unsung song in her throat

And, as if blessed, a sparkle in her coat.
