Reflections on Serenity: Poem

Reflections On Serenity


From where did I come and from this point
What do I become and where do I go to?
My mind becomes a jumble of whats and whys and wheres.


I watch the river, flowing. Sometimes forceful
And at other times, tranquil. I watch the day
And the night. I am one with the water, sky and earth.


Sometimes, pause and listen to earth's heartbeat.
Still your mind, and still your feet.

Dragonfly, Dragonfly: Poem

Dragonfly

Dragonfly, dragonfly,
Please don't pass me by

Wait with me a little while

Whilst I look, wonder and smile

You, my poetic inspiration

Maybe even for Da Vinci's invention

Did you teach the planes to fly?

You lovely, lovely dragonfly.

I can see you poised and still

On the leaf, and thus until

Blazes the kind summer sun

Until coldest winter has begun.

.

Branch,pond, flower and breeze,

Wait a while with me now please;

We shared the silence, but now

You've flown onto another bough.
