D-A-Skelly

Sand between my toes Solitary walk on beach At one with ocean Shoes off, tights removed Perfect eventide this day Quiet except waves. High tide runs for shore Bright pebbles, surf over feet Emancipation. Wet skirt around legs Vision embraced horizon Chimera moment. D-A-Skelly/Delice1941 updated 9.1.17

Perished dreams six feet deep Moonlight torment, spirits weep Dead tears shed, petrified Vision no longer starry-eyed. Blue, grey shadows softly sigh Dead of night, morbid sky Gravestones dominate terrain Alive with humanities endless pain. Elaborate place of ancient dead Loving tributes seldom read Mausoleum, lonely grave Stagnant state, distinct malaise Ancient whisper speaks of sorrow Palpable sadness no tomorrow Grey shadow gone, soul does fly Redemption found, final goodbye.

Fern and bluebell thrive Dense trees forging green shelter Footpaths meander. Mystery at every turn Gnarled roots display nature's art. Forest canopy Dappled sunlight and shadow Rustling undergrowth Spring is stirring steadily Epiphany of nature. Delice1941 26.4.15

Atlantis called from watery grave "Need your help, souls to save" Dream adventure, profound sleep Darkness invaded images creep Mystery light cast gentle glow Deep sea tourist met Plato. 'twas his city, from fertile mind Poseidon laid claim, what a find. Night receded taking dream Out of reach or so it seemed Decipher midnight mystery No longer bemused go to see Atlantis rising 'tis kismet Ocean turmoil,  a parapet City emerged myth dispelled Surging waves, ancient bells. Time to wake, this time for real What's that I hear? church bells peal Sea is calm, no  storm today Atlantis moment sinks away. 2014 Delice1941 15th May2014

Eating alfresco A beautiful autumn day Feel we could touch clouds. Tartan blanket spread Food consumed, leisurely ease Taste a gentle kiss Last sight of summer Leaves are slowly turning gold Nature's wedding band. Slight smell of autumn Through rays of late summer sun A benediction. Musical notes sound Waterfall draped with green moss Listening with pleasure. 2013 Delice1941 15th September2013

River Styx,  Hades bound Silent ferryman makes no sound His boat contains human sorrow. Departing souls, no tomorrow. Day and night boat departs Shades of dead with fearful heart Should they have a coin to pay Passage assured, on their way. You have no coin? journey short No way boatman will abort Bound for Hades, time of fear Trembling souls, hour is near. Delice1941 21.10.14
