Shadow: Quatrain
SHADOW
He became her lover
She became his love
The brighter the light
The blacker the darkness
The Magic Of Words
THE MAGIC OF WORDS
NOW and HERE
Is the one and only
NOWHERE
Everywhere
One blink of the I
And back-to-front
NOW is reversed
For it is time
Time to be WON
The time has arrived
As NOW reveals
Its eternal nature
Pure consciousness
Unsullied
TIME is reversed
For it is EMIT
Time to emit
Heaven’s light
As within, as without
Time to shine on
Heads bowed
Hands together
It is TIME NOW
Let us play
Opposites
OPPOSITES
The opposite of love
Is not hatred but fear
Hatred is simply
An armour for fear
Darkness is not
The opposite of light
It is simply
An absence of light
Thwarting The Gloom: Senryu
THWARTING THE GLOOM
Lights switched on midday
Not shameless exorbitance
… Poetic licence
Passed Over: Tanka
PASSED OVER
Dearest Margaret
Lives in a higher place now
Showers me with light
I am humbled by her gift
And, she says, not before time
Light And Dark: Shadorma
LIGHT AND DARK
In darkness
A light seeks us out
Throws a line
Lest we drown
Whilst most marvellous of all
‘Tis we who threw it
‘Neath Doom’s Trump
‘NEATH DOOM’S TRUMP
Through deepest midnight
Hid light persists in shadow
Embroiders darkness
Encouragement
ENCOURAGEMENT
Veiled by cloud the sun
Still supplies sufficient light
To kindle the search
