Beyond The Storming Seas Unto The Paradise Of Poetry
What wailing- from the frosty-whistling moon and thin air-
That bestirs dying heart within the poet's seeking breast
Echoing across fertile plains unto silence's stolen lair
A druid chant, a wolf howling, a lone sparrow finding rest?
What dancing- across mellow meadows of glistening dew
Grace and flying with eagles, weaving a golden tapestry-
Ancient its rhythm, bold in its magnificent depths so true
A poet soft-tilling verses unto sweetest desired mastery!
What dreaming- life, love and shine of the golden fleece
Youthful wonderment of brave heroes and fairytales
Wisdom from the ages- Gods of the splendor of Greece
Ships, Seafoam, Moby-Dick, and may God save the whales!
What inspiration- hidden paths weaving into the naked heart-
Love and nights lava-hot with ecstasy so intensely sublime
Romanticism that love's depths so sweetly and deeply impart
Although we are always prisoners of the blacken-curse of Time!
What wailing- from the frosty-whistling moon and thin air-
That bestirs dying heart within the poet's seeking breast
Echoing across fertile plains unto silence's stolen lair
A druid chant, a wolf howling, a lone sparrow finding rest?

Rhyme, ( Wherein The Heart And Mind Wades Into The Invisible Realms )
********
Behind Prudent Judgement, Rests A Stout Shield
The heart rooted into love's deepest well
The sea bragging of its emerald green,
Dawn and silver dew dance to glowing preen
Love's beauty, a red rose-its sweetest smell.
And yet one must true see, remain alert
For life oft be a dark gauntlet of dark
Wondrous sea tis swelled with hungry sharks
And this dark world promises many hurts.
Be aware that a starving wolf yet prowls
Its fangs eager to sink into hot-bloodied meat
Tis hidden monster the innocent meet
If ignoring warnings of the hoot owl!
Behind prudent judgement, rests a stout shield
For love can sometimes be a fatal trap
Life is not all rosy- oft it is crap
One should live life with faith and never yield!
R.J. Lindley, Nov. 11th, 1978
