Stealthily he waits
while in her silken bower,
graceful limbs bewitch,
a spur to fateful passion
for when spent, he cannot flee.

Pure thoughts emanate
from his serene countenance,
smile of the Buddha.
Inspired to motion,
Autumn leaves, eager to dance,
goaded by the breeze,
until losing grip, they fall,
their moment of freedom, brief.

In humble awe, we
gaze upon the sacred stones,
where Saints found solace.
Bright golden lances
pierce the towering grey clouds,
sun’s strength faltering,
feverish feeding begins
preparing for the Winter.

Coping enhances
each decorated support
on the Bridge of Sighs.

Tornado smiled. The feel of the leather harness on his shoulders again. Although he enjoyed standing in his stall while the men and women breathed strange, soothing sounds into his ear whilst scratching his nose and the top of his head, this was what he enjoyed. He heard a familiar shout and holding his head high, leant forward until his shoulders felt the familiar weight. He strained, eager to pull his load. He could hear the rattle of the chains and instinctively knew it was one of the newly felled trees he would be taking down to the mill. An easy job he thought. This would not make his shoulders sore. He heard his shoes ring on the smooth tarmac as he ambled down the road, not realising or caring that he left a trail of broken side shoots and twigs behind as he made his way to the sawmill.

Look through the spectrum,
a wondrous, moist, mist rises,
rainfall in reverse.

Fighting
the unruly waves
will reveal the measure
of the craft and her persona
is forged.

Gratitude shown, for
each little act of kindness,
harmony regained
