Hello, mighty rainbow!
There’s a rainbow in the distanceI wonder where it will leadI think I’ll go and ask itAnd with it I shall plead To let me follow closelyWherever it may goAnd perch upon its archesAs it bounces in the snowHello, might rainbow!Where is it that you’re from?Where do you plan travelWhen from here, you’ll soon beContinue reading “Hello, mighty rainbow!”
Lost and Found
Life is sometimes hidden between the stars of the night skyGuiding those towards them when it is their turn to flyTemporarily lost but always waiting to be found Although far away, to you, their hearts are forever boundPatient, in the distance they wait and watch closely from aboveFor the day that you meet again andContinue reading “Lost and Found”
Whispers tiptoe in the wind
Whispers tiptoe in the windOf fortunes yet to comeTempting lost and adrift soulsWith their enchanting humPromises of richesTrick and fool each absent mindBewitched, they follow closelyNot knowing they are blindHushed murmurs slither in the breezeAnd lure them to their deathTheir charming tune grows silentAs they snatch your final breath. -M, Courage.

Free falling gently, slow enough to seeWhite linen clouds, calmly drift past meBirds singing softly, lulling me to sleepThe sun beaming brightly, until I cannot hear a peep. -M, Courage. Copyright 2020.

The eyes of a stranger
The eyes of a stranger are intriguing and obscure Each swirl of emerald selling love whilst seeing warBoth glimmer boldly telling lies of sweet contentPerfectly disguising days of sadness they have spentAlways seeing others but never being seenIs the fate they’re used to, these hypnotic balls of greenOne by one each ocean, bares the depthsContinue reading “The eyes of a stranger”
Darkness
When you find yourself in darknessYou’ll be surprised to know there’s lightGlimmering inside youLike a perfect starry nightIf you wonder how to find itFirst, it twinkles in your toesBeaming through your body As the light within you growsWhen your heart is glowingJust as a moonbeam strikes midnightNo more shall you fear the darknessAs you radiateContinue reading “Darkness”
O to be a bubble
