HORIZON, 2020-21

Do you hear the pumping oceans, Like

filled chest it rises

And falls like leaves.

What wonders water beneath stirs?

What tristful time behind leers?

A chirp,

From a bird coloured by my mind,

Is it one amongst the sky,

Or in earthy nest lies.

A deafening roar.

One of lion or tiger unknown,

Oh what injustice may thee be,

To hear beauty but beauty unseen. Am I

right to judge what lies beyond So

uncertain can I be?

Bereft of beauty’s tapestry,

Will my mind sculpt a beauty

Akin to the beauty grey walls beyond.

For my wonders can’t stand to the

wonders of god,

To shape earth herself, to scatter life

and soul
