THE WEIGHT OF LIGHT 25/2/25
The weight and light of a weary world rest.
The light in a tight woven nest among leafy breezes,
The weight dark and deeply rooted in hot dry soil.
The light dreams of flowers and summer dawns over island horizons.
The weight dreams of sweaty fortunes of forged gold.
The light lingers and kisses the cheeks of sweet young faces.
The weight delves furrows and yearns impatiently for other places.
Between the scales, just standing in the balance point,
Our world waits, and between breaths and blinks,
Wonders at the way of it,
the weight and light of it.
That fleeting place where balance is found
A vast harmonic echo with infinity
the place where shadow meets light.

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.
Jo Davidson 2016

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. |
