My Brothers are Giants  
They are Giants , my beloved brothers
     Standing strong against their fate  
Each story tried and tested in relentless weathers 
Such ceaseless searching for the sun
My Giant Brothers stand persistent ,
               patient , higher than mountains 
They carry their ancestry in time towards the light 
On steep slopes    in wild winds 
             through crack and whip of storms
   There they remain
                with  all their towering strength and might 
Their power of good 
Awesome breathing beings 
​Force and fuse , driven towards their plight.

                       Returnity                   Jo Davidson 2016     
​      Force of life coming towards me   
                   where I stand looking  up river
Wind and water moving through me
                         like breath   like blood
 Light of the sun bringing life across my view
 Intricate weave of elemental threads   
                       light  shadow   under  over
   I cast my net into this stream   
          Life gives me my time  

              I stand within its grace and bounty   
                   I  glimpse the infinity of its beauty
And then when spent,    
   my molecules and memories dissolve into the flow
    Onwards,  resolute,  they rejoin the mighty
                                              gravity and awe.
    I am the breath that binds my being into
                               the heaven's weaving
       I am the blood that flows forever
         springs to streams    rivers   oceans   rain
   All my steps and colours,  all I perceive,
                         returning to eternity.

Tree on the other side
River falling
Blue heron rising
The other side
The rope and the refuge
Fox's Moon over the lake
Moon over the lake
Moon in the leaves
Rope over the river
May the beauty find you
Here with all my people
Flood Tide
Time is a River is Life
Restless rivers edge
Floating and falling
Away - you rolling river
