Yellow is a living colour
the colour of the sun at noon,
the colour of the midnight moon,
of waving wheat and ripening corn,
the glowing horizon in early morn.

Lillian of raven hair and pearly skin
wears a dress of blue muslim
a colour that matches the sky’s azure hue.

The sun descends in the west
and an evening star would shine
except it is hidden behind a nest
of clouds as grey as brine.

a mockery rather than a haven
looked at with an analytic eye
from a world much smaller than a child’s

Unconditional love shines in his eyes
oval, slightly tilted, black-rimmed green eyes
flecked with gold, large and unblinking
‘I love my owner so much,’ he is thinking.

It is a holy thing to see
each new opening morn,
the beginning of a journey precious to me
begun with the tender light of dawn.
So soft, so calm, so eloquent
lightens and brightens o’er the land,
the glitter of starry skies is spent
diminished by the golden orb’s stand.

Black trees loomed up out of the greyness –
a wall of angry, threatening giants.
Wet mist smeared all surfaces with cold, clinging, vapourous slime.
Nothing moved in the still, suffocating surroundings,
Nothing except a single horse-rider –
cloaked in black to match the trees.

and the love of heaven above
told in the words of minstrels and poets.

Above the silent bay at midnight
in the sea reflected sky,
there shines a silver moon
amidst barred clouds,
like a bloom
shines the silver stillness of the moon.

the sun comes up entirely gold
no pink or purple streaks of dye
a new dawn painted on a canvas bold.

This is where the lion lies
on golden grass
with silent flies
on his moister parts –
flared black nostrils
panting pink jaws
are darkly crowded hostels,
even on his great paws.

is brightened by a moon bright and full
that quite overwhelms the sprinkled stars
whose continuous twinkle on the Milky Way
is tonight a softer, more wistful glimmer.

At night the garden is a cool and silvered place
beauteous, calm and free.
The beaming sun has sunk
into its bed of tranquillity
and the shimmering moon has risen
and sails the dark, impenetrable sky
with soothing silver majesty.
