Poetry?

together one

November 23, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

the river thought it forked to allow the island space
the island believed it split the flow
imperceptibly they flexed, relaxed
seen from outside, above, they were together one

the sound of horses

November 22, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

the sound of horses across an empty field
light diamonds away from waterfalls
the closeness of unending dreams

its own light

yellow golden fire red
towered beech casts its light
illuminating autumn

eventual obstacle solution

drawing

charcoal
snow paper
I stare
not understanding
the curve of a smile

I asked an old one the secret of life and they said

thoughts and words and feelings
companionship and friendship and loving
but most of all
yes most of all
blood and sweat and honey

insecurity

a kite in flight
might be lost to sight
so he holds it tight
all day and all night

let the rains fall

the rains grow our children
green and tall
as the green grain in springtime
our children grow
all fated to greatness
let the rains fall
let the rains grow our children

fog
