Sun Cycle Silves


Meandering mountains passes

between heathered hills.


Pylons, gigantic catapults

transporting lifes transfusions

to the sunset ills.


Beware what morning brings

when Icarus in skylark flight

***** no more his waxing wings.

In the foreground of this house

an orange-grove is a decoration

Of trees. On hill brows, taller

eucalyptus ridge back the contours

resembling a wooded wall of China

snaking its way far as the eye can see

punctuated here and there with lakes

In mindful reflection of the sky.

Distance is not permitted to confine

such visions, imaginations have no

boundaries. Somewhere beyond our

horizon similar depictions were about

to be conceived. Spermatozoa jet streams

being a testimony to that.

From the balcony of the house

After a walk with the dogs on

hills which resemble the

Scottish Highlands. We are

house minding here now.
