SG Holter
A fish in flight; a queen diving
Free, slender and one with the
Streaming hands that caress

While she slides through the
Ocean's nerves and lips and fingertips,
Being the truth; that

This mother of two gentle kings
Is water-based and carries tears
Enough to drown the world

For them. Has cried her pillows
Warm for them,
A mama bear to any fear that

Might wish any harm on them.
She swims in seas in Neverland,
And dreams of feeling strong

Again.
I recognize that song, my friend.
So be where you belong, my friend:

Keep the ocean in your heart,
And when the skies within are
Dark, just

Close your eyes and jump right in,
Feel the salt against your skin.
Taste the water, stroke the

Seaweed; feel its
Calmness seep
Within.
For M., my sweet, strong friend since forever.

Listen to the voices of present, past;
look to the future:
nothing will last.

Except for God's grace, eternally true,
take it now: it's meant for you.
A short poem about God's grace.

Haydn Swan
Ever tasted death ?
the ethereal mist of a new dawn,
swirling around your soul,
like a serpent made of tears

Give me some tincture,
save me from this house of fire,
eaten alive by all thats truth,
corked in a bottle filled with lies.

Haydn Swan
How we love to paint with our eyes
pictures distorted with angst reprise
judgement made by a fleeting glance
media sporned advice to make us dance

Peel back the outer layer
as blinded faith to make a prayer
steal yourself an opended view
look within with thoughts anew.
Oh, my heart sings a song
of bliss and woe.
A song of love that lives
in the center of my soul.
Oh, sometimes it is song
is a song of woe
like a swan when it sings
before cold death forever closes it eyes.
Oh, and sometimes  it is a song
that floods my soul with such joy
like an angel singing in my heart.
Oh, you can make me weep
an ocean of tears
every time my heart
is filled with fear
that I am nothing in your eyes.
Oh, in your embrace
I know every created thing sings your name
and all the world glows
as though it burned with the fire
of a million rainbows
and the love and glory
of heavens one true God.
Oh, that song I know shall
ever remain in my heart
till the last day of time.
