An Ode For One Who Cannot See. My love, let me stroke your hair And confirm that you are there – Let me touch your endearing face Open, honest, and full of grace Trace my fingers o’er its contours That I may know that, it is yours Allow me then to touch your skin Your wholesomeness yet, resides within Draw near, that I may absorb your cologne That identifies you alone All these senses tell me you are mine Your beauty unseen, forever benign I adore you with compassion No need to recognize in any other fashion I need not ever use my eyes Your tender being, tells no lies Abstract loveliness you radiate No other could ever imitate There is no better way to start the morning than with some of Harry's poetry. It's great to have you back Harry My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Lovely poem, Lyn...Mary and I have two such daughters.... God’s Seasons “Spring,” I ask, “why do you return With your display of season’s beauty Is it so, that ever, you must do your duty And of God’s commands we learn?” “Summer, why do you paint the sky of blue Then warm our sandy beaches And do as God, in His own way, teaches So his vows you can then renew?” “And Autumn, why do your leaves turn golden Then fall upon the ground Have you God’s commands now found And, are you, unto Him, beholden?” “Winter, do we always have to freeze When the other seasons are now gone Is it that their work is done And we must now pray on bended knees?” My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
Harry E Wheeler Posts: 171 Joined: 3rd Feb 2008 Location: Australia	Posted at 08:20 on 26th September 2008 Eventide In The Australian Desert Shades of the evening are slowly drawn As the sun’s anger now abates, Golden rays meld with plains of ochre, Shadows awaken, elongated silhouettes - Misshapen, awkward, new images created Unlike that from which they are born. A distant willy-willy begins its dance Spinning rapidly in gypsy flamenco It gyrates before the sinking orb, Soundlessly, it kicks up heels of debris Shapeless, vacuous arms Clasped sensuously overhead. Exhausted then, its promenade over Disappears into dust from whence it came. Lone dingo howls its intentions A kill will be made Beyond the rabbit-proof fence Fifteen hundred miles of wire Stretched, from state to state No match for the hungry canine The desert now prepares to sleep, And there! A Taipan slithers Rattus villisissimus freezes Nervous contractions Submission to deadly venom. Darkness now, as bogong moths Hover around the camp light As dying embers cool. Time now to sleep...
