he is the quiet force
settling on our lives
as the diamond
sounds of night
cut the horses
from our dreams
he is the quiet force
settling on our lives
as the diamond
sounds of night
cut the horses
from our dreams

I love the simplicity and the elegance of this poem; and yet powerfully emotive.
Oh I am loving these verses engendered by him…I wonder what he will say about these when he begins his on writing.
Brilliant poem!
Love turning this one around and around in my head!
smiles…my first daughter was no quiet force…she was a rocket with the voice of a sirene…haha… already 13 days old your boy..wow…beauty..

This is wonderful, although having horses cut from dreams seems like a powerful cutting that could change the universe.
He is the net trawling
your ocean floor
as current strengthens
silver-scale flashes
catch him waiting
for the morning tide.
