Seasons Series

Absence/Presence

"And he was given a just
measure of the land"

and bloomed for an instant
in the vast landscape of time-
the seasons went
the colours changed
the sun burned
the earth blackened.

In the morning light
the grass grew
and the man and beast
came out to play.

Tracks - Traces

A train journeys into memory
travels in landscapes of colour,
days recalled and numbered
the fertile earth receives
all the scattered the discarded

The long track winds which way
lost in the far distance
as light fades into darkness
she follows the wolf call,
that howl to sun's birthing

hymm to the passage
