eccentric-enigma - Hello Poetry

Pennies casually dropped to the distant depths in gathering pending hope to wishing wells Moonbeams caught amongst their silvery slivers of light amongst themselves Quiet whispers rebounding of that chatter of fates bent confusing and strange ways Echoes like ripples from lakes surface created by skipping stones vibrate through life’s days Searching into the distant horizons shot with heat haze fortune cookies shatter break Emotions in gathering ripples travel ev outward causing those ripples cross life’s lake Standing silent watching with eyes that search my soul standing apart from that crowd Wonder why they rush about trying to be the things that they are not and they need be so loud Warm hands still remembering the days that now be past treasuring those holding recent memories Thoughts of times so different like summer childhoods never ending breeze such things they are these White edged satin azure sky blue days that seemed to have no end fraying satin now it still it clings to lace Memories even those photographs growing yellowed and torn with age they can’t replace your face Moving sideways shifting to greet the mornings early light another day is christened dawns first shimmering light People shuffle move about pretending they are real but like the mice in programmed corridors they drift through life’s mazes But ever watching smiling tempted sometimes to laugh but never shedding raindrop tears observing from on high Those tear shaped raindrops from my weary eyes so much of life they've seen are falling like those pennies from the sky (C)G.Evans Reserved 2017

Papal places borne of trust Missions built to all of us Regardless of their race or creed Thresholds crossed among their need To face the days their playing fields Emotions net those things revealed Places hidden in night’s dark One of each upon times ark Webs once spun as spider’s tales Cry not now the creed of males Showing solid fronts afraid to fail Moonlight silver shows lifes trail Beaches found with footprints few Coins they ****** to pay dues Memories tucked away to mime Fate it shimmers crossing time New eggs safe in high tree nest The chosen passing natures test Rising now to feel the wind Newborns flutter voices sing (GE2014)

Hidden once their calling Vast forests old growth trees Ancestors cloaks there wearing Spirit voices echoing once free But as time marching silently Crossroad signposts passing by Empty bookcases attract the dust Corridoors traveled doors unlocked Gazing skyward stars reviled Clouds they veil horizons far Full moon gently caresses the land Mighty rivers flow to the sea Gathered silent sandbanks wide Flowers garland meadows long Seasons changing as they should Nature smiling in her chosen way (GE2014) (C) Reserved

Running places lost to time Newborn baby showing their first smile Remembered treasures counted gold The roaming soul above all told... See more Running places lost to time Newborn baby showing their first smile Remembered treasures counted gold The roaming soul above all told Tin cans rattle pushed by wind Before the falling of those kings Half forgotten painted memories Full moon gazes on tall trees Gliding shadows smoke smudged haze Beyond the feeling of the days Gathered quietly campfires bright The early sunrise breaks the night As watching eagles soaring high Between the edges of thermal sky Ever searching seeking past The mirrored crystals hid by glass Pages turning windswept words Turning once on mile long piers Strangeness visits like a friend The world it turns while all pretend (C) Reserved G.Evans 2014

271014 Chasing seeking with my eyes open reflections gained from past experience Reaching now with trembling hands again afraid to offer trust Shifting always northward shadows behind me cast by each new days dawn Finding solitude and refuge in my thoughts and dreams I cast that to time REM periods of sleep Forgotten crystal shot rainbow daydreams once thought so important to my life and me Again I dare to reach forward outward with trembling hands grasping for the future who's days will calm my past Again that fast flowing stream called life viewed with eyes burdened by past experience sorrow wells up to those who didn't last Again chasing seeking those rattling ghosts casting them finally at last Chasing seeking with eyes of steel created by my past (GE) (C) Reserved

Weathered grasslands called to pass Sidelong glances drifting past Echoed corridors lined with dreams Forgotten places endless scenes Why now called the summer flower Willow tree bends to earth’s power Rainbows arching cross blue sky Lightning flashes slowly passing by As if in answer prophets cry Unread books on roads gone awry Speaking of faith so many try Eagles swirl alone up high Tongues there spoken far and wide As white mans sailing ships sails set high Reaching new lands to supply The different things he bring they cry Born of welcome to white ghosts Never fearing their new hosts Times they pass and things they've seen The destruction of their race no dream Generation’s blame and lies No so many white men cries Cities built cross-sacred sites Blots on landscape once so nice Whatever happened to the Blackman’s rights (GE2014) (C) Reserved

Fern leaves mirrored light is bent Dewdrops glistening heaven sent Dry lands drinking sky borne rain Again the echoes sound so strange To be tomorrows yesterday Sitting quiet living in today No past no shadows now of grey Wondering now what made us stray From things so common to the plan Altered fabrics change of brand Voices echo through the night Stalled by sunrises warm soft light Ash damped down by dying fire The hopeful press and never tire Spurred on always by lifes hope Seeing always the ways to cope Mirrored images waterfalls pass Crystal pinned diamonds on the grass The seasons casually spinning wheel Meeting lifes terms meeting lifes deal Seeing things for truth what’s real Heartbeat constants knowing feel Believing now it’s worth the cost Warm sunrise banishes night’s cold frost (GE2014) (C) Reserved

Illusions scattered throughout time Gaining depth and colour as they shine Ghosts of spirits laid long to rest Shining stars made the most of us Yet even in the darkness before the dawn To mankind each minute newborns cry Propagating plants in forests high Treetop dwellers pass silently by Leaving nothing in their wake The gamblers raising up the stake As mirrored reflections paint the past Treasures buried unearthed now at last Bones long fossilised to rock Worn down mountains valleys top Seashells washed upon the shores Lifes avenues with unkeyed doors Shattered fault lines run askew Remind the earth of all that’s true In ages past the impact craters From space the end of dinosaurs (GE2014) (C) Reserved

Never knowing to be free Collecting dew drops all to see Raindrops pooling through the past Seabird sits atop tall mast As if in answer echoes float Beside tall reed banks so remote Mainstream life it floats on by As ripples washed like tears do cry Smooth lake surface shines like glass Soft breeze rustles thought the trees White caps dance on muted seas Whilst each new day brings its reprieve Watching sunsets all alone Wishing for those times unknown Where now the chance the road to see Who now to share this place with me Knowing only time will tell Patiently waiting fates soft bell Somehow hopeful through lifes storm One day we will hear each other’s call And when we meet in bright sunshine Your reflection matching mine Upon this very day you seek The wasted years will seem less bleak (GE2013)

Your reflection matching mine

Never knowing to be free Collecting dew drops all to see Raindrops pooling through the past Seabird sits atop tall mast As if in answer echoes float Beside tall reed banks so remote Mainstream life it floats on by As ripples washed like tears do cry Smooth lake surface shines like glass Soft breeze rustles thought the trees White caps dance on muted seas Whilst each new day brings its reprieve Watching sunsets all alone Wishing for those times unknown Where now the chance the road to see Who now to share this place with me Knowing only time will tell Patiently waiting fates soft bell Somehow hopeful through lifes storm One day we will hear each other’s call And when we meet in bright sunshine Your reflection matching mine Upon this very day you seek The wasted years will seem less bleak (GE2013)
