thunder

Posted on Jun 5th, 2007 by Donan : inwit Donan

the sun rolled on
to some foreign land
where it was desired
even worshipped
on that one day
before night
fell
dark
clouds
loomed
now distant
they do not roll
towards my home
winds no longer blow
no, the storm has passed
growing smaller by the day
alive I plunge into raging torrents
that flood a land that once knew only
the tastes of dust and famine

two poems for a saturday afternoon

Posted on Jun 9th, 2007 by Donan : inwit Donan
southern pine

i’ll not cut this tree
that stood ere I was
long, tall, strong

though it breaks concrete
cold stone laid by men
it will stand

till nature decides
it’s life is over
and it falls

of its own accord
 
~ ~ ~

defeating a manufactured identity

It is a glorious day and quiet
The sun too high for machines
And men who would trade this silence
For the taming of nature
Turning beauty into riot

Stacks of books with paper covers
Content wildly different
all to show control of life
pretending as the others
that nature calls to serve them too

yet earth declares their work obscene
and on this day obedience
must overcome the doer
calm his churn of ordered rot
and mark this day a world serene

cell death

Posted on Jun 15th, 2007 by Donan : inwit Donan

in an instant
it drops
slips
through
forbidden ring
plop bloop
and now
it sleeps
in silence
meant only
for fish
sponge
and occasionally
soap bubbles

there it lies
it dies
slows
confused
for tis not made
spark flash
to swim
it drinks
in death
twas only
for air
speech
and occasionally
text messages
