Have been asked to re-post this - a poem I wrote a few years ago.

Yesterday's gone – diminishing shapes gauzy and greyed

Tomorrow exists - composed, but not yet played.

Wake with me  

a purple dawn whispering

softly across the silver sea

Golden fingers stretching sensuously

across the sky as an expectant sun

pokes one eye lazily over the horizon

(as if to re-assure herself)
before, in a burst of glory she expels us

from the womb of night.

Fly with me,

I will please you with

diamonds dancing on spider webs

as sunbeams play with the dewdrops

The sweet smell of earth refreshed

after a midnight shower 

Untamed beaches where gulls and spirits soar

and the surf sings to the sand

See new born foals on new found feet

rainbows and flowers

a mountain peak

Cry with me,

I will shame you with

factory ships wallowing in bloody bays

as smiles are slashed from cetaceans' faces 

Death traded for dollars

Political puppets growing fat

on corruption and cocktail parties

Slums, breeding grounds for

race hatred, rats, and kids

fixing in doorways - apathetic stares

no one caring who knows or knowing

who cares.

Lie with me,

I will cover you with a mantle 

of twilight studded with diamonds and destiny  

Tranquility; late summer barbecues

stepping stones and skipping stones across a river  

 Children’s laughter bubbling out of wet togs

and into warm pj’s

Sit on a beach and stare at a sunset

red as the firelight that flickers

on your face my friend

No need for words
