The piercing of the wind
Iced like the mountain peaks
Brought water to my eyes
And a stinging to my
cheeks
It left hands too cold
to grip
And lips to numb to
speak
It cut through my
cloak
And made the outlook
bleak

THE PIERCING OF THE WIND
A BUMBLE BEE BUSIES
A bumble bee busies
A Butterfly rises and
dips
And there amid velvet
petals
A single hummingbird
sips

IN THE EUROPEAN FORESTS
In the European forests
The wild boar can be
vicious
But it’s worth the
risk
As they’re bloody
delicious
THE WILDLIFE DOWN UNDER
The wildlife down under
Includes the Wallabies
But if truth be known
they’re
Just Kangaroo
Wannabies
THE CHERRY BLOSSOM
The cherry blossom
Filled the tree
A brief spectacle
Of perfect beauty
Until the petals fell
Like pink snowflakes
And in the breeze
Danced like confetti
Outside the church
On our wedding day
THE STORM RAGED
The storm raged
Thunder roared
And lightning flashed
As rain fell, unrestrained
From leaden skies
Like liquid knives
Dropping into the
sodden land
Night came early
Beneath the slate grey
Until a tear in the
fabric
Of the unremitting
deluge
A perfect patch of blue
Showing through the
heavy sky
Brought tranquillity
With a glimpse of
heaven
Through the darkness
A beam of heavens
light
Shone down upon the
land
A beacon from above
To let us know
We are not forsaken
