A Wild Light

Where the wind becomes manifest

ever widening points of stars and circles scatter on the sea

and a lone but happy boat passes out far

The reverie of dusk arrives

akin to floating in a warm pool, to an opiate glide

and the darkness caresses with softness all desires

You will find her

the child of another world living in your heart

peeping through her fingers with a wide uninhibited smile

In the Night Garden (2)

Under a new moon

sing your way sing your way

the black carp slide through water

as silk within silk

travellers in the oracular pond

breathing

by the southern gate of the garden

Noone else is walking here now

it is I it is I

and the palm trees beckon as I pass

gleeful songs to the night

like children whispering in the dark

chattering away the fears

of bad men and ill fates

I walk to the fountain

see its smile see its smile

a blue sapphire gift

held up to the darkest of pearls

magnificent in its infinite libation

transformation

is now
