River
On the blue-bosomed river
tiny crests
created by the
wandering fingers
of the restive
Aeolus
break and re-form into a
ceaseless motion of
the mighty wind and
water,
while the poet-photographer
soaks in
the tranquil atmosphere.
He
traverses the deep
connections with the “pagans”
and
modern believers
the neo-Hellenic worshipers of nature;
the moment providing pathways to profound
illuminations
***
II
the women row the boat
the pink
head-dresses
announce the cause of the
odyssey---
short and different
the women cross the wide river
for those struck by a killer
called cancer
their concerns
maternal
hands joined together, in this
rowing fundraiser.
A sisterhood of shared loss, pain,
And ways of
Overcoming the
trauma.
***
Yellows
The tiny flowers
cascade down
in a tender shower
of a gold
different coloured,
the strange solitude
of the sacred ground
home to the
fairies and spirits;
the patch of road
converses
with the
fallen flowers, in this
hallowed corner;
the yellow- tree
in full bloom
contrasts sharply
with the
green
neighbours.
