The Verge of Twilight, a pantoum

As the sun keeps time with the moon,
Long shadows of the day grow ever near -
Cicadas start their evening chorus in harmony.
Lo, the heat of day is slowly spent.

Long shadows of the day grow, ever near,
Flocks of birds in flurry, tag the tree-tops.
Lo, the heat of day is slowly spent
With hummingbirds and honeybees waltzing.

Flocks of birds in flurry, tag the tree-tops,
While a tender breeze flirts and skirts about
With hummingbirds and honeybees waltzing,
And pink-laced clouds sail purple skies.

While a tender breeze flirts and skirts about,
Cicadas start their evening chorus in harmony
And pink-laced clouds sail purple skies,
As the sun keeps time with the moon.

O Machynlleth

A gentle mist enshrouds the mountain
as the sheep bleat in protest, unknowingly.

The conversation the water makes with the
river rushes is left unheard.

The moon has not yet met the sun
upon this place.

The bird soars on it's passionate wing.

While I, the intruder, am only here.

There Is A Gentle Confrontation

There is a gentle confrontation when one begins to create
That nudges with excitement an expression truly great.

There runs a risk, a bit of doubt that crosses o'er the mind,
It is in that beginning that commitment lags behind.

When one begins to hesitate, brush or pen will circle air,
Before you find the strength to stand and act on what you dare.

Then suddenly a surge of nerves comes and takes you by the hand,
And courage leads you onward to take this mighty stand.

`Tis in this possibility of expression pure and free
Of being known and laying bare your soul for all to see.

Once that stand is taken and one begins to create,
It's something out of nothing that becomes something so great.

It's not in what the critics say, rather it's all in being true
To who you are, and sharing, that so others can share too.

So take it on! Express yourself and do not hesitate
For the gift you give to others will inspire others to create!

I Love To Sing (a rondelet)

I love to sing
sweet melodies. From my heart
I love to sing
to touch another soul and bring
a bit of joy. To then impart
lyrics, which for the sake of art,
I love to sing.
